front seat belt retractor to reduce belt tension and the
feeling of pressure when the seat belt is buckled.
Furthermore, the tension reducer is maintained in an ON

STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION
The retractor shaft and bush shaft are coupled. The
reducing spring and normal spring are springs used to
wind the webbing. The reducing spring ends are fixed to
the bush shaft and the spring case, and the normal
spring ends are fixed to the tape holder and cover, and
stored in the cover. There is a solenoid in the cover and
when the seat belt is buckled, the solenoid is activated,
the lever engages the tape holder, locks the normal

spring, thus lessening the feeling of constriction. The
purpose of the memory tape is to eliminate the
difference in elongation ratio of the reducing spring and
normal spring. The ends are fixed respectively to the
tape holder and bushing shaft and stored together with
the bushing shaft in the tape holder in a wound up
condition.
