This invention concerns a metal guide for safety belts for vehicles, especially cars, consisting of a lashing to be fastened to the automobile body and a ring held by the lashing with an opening through which the belt runs. The lashing has detents for expanding movement and the ring has guide surfaces to reduce friction.

Run through bracket

A belt winder with a quick-locking vehicle inertia sensitive action comprising an inert mass actuated to lock the belt winder shaft when the vehicle is accelerated and which can be brought into operative position in any mounting position in space.

Safety belt inertia retractor and backing device

A vehicle sensitive safety belt retractor is provided with actuating means responsive to acceleration of the vehicle for directly engaging with ratchet means mounted for interaction with a belt strap reel of the retractor, and thereby preventing protraction of the belt. The actuating means includes a unitary tipping inertia and locking member which is tippable from its position of rest so as to engage the ratchet means. The center of gravity of the unitary member passes over its pivot point on tipping of the member into locked position, so that it can only be returned to its stable, non-tipped position on movement of the ratchet means which it has engaged in a belt retraction direction. In one embodiment, a plurality of such unitary members are used in association with the single ratchet.
