Tension at the intermediate portion of a restraining webbing is detected by tension detecting means to sense the condition of a webbing fastened to an occupant, whereby the movement of the webbing is prevented when said webbing is fastened to the occupant, to thereby prevent the tension of the webbing from acting on the occupant during driving.

Webbing locking mechanism

One end of a webbing for restraining an occupant is wound up by a retractor installed on a door so that the webbing can be fitted to or released from the occupant seated as the door is closed or opened. An engaging portion is formed on the retractor and an engageable portion for receiving said engaging portion when the door is closed is provided in the body of vehicle, said engaging and engageable portions imparting a high tension of the webbing to the body of vehicle during an emergency of the vehicle, so that the webbing can reliably restrain the occupant.
