Abstract
A vehicle sensitive seat belt retractor including two locking pawls acting on a single ratchet wheel and operable in response to actuation of a vehicle sensitive sensor. The pawls are positioned relative to the sensor so that the force required to lock the retractor is uniform regardless of the direction of the acceleration. Preferably, the support for the sensor includes two mutually adjustable parts, one of which carries a ring which supports the sensor, which is preferably a ball, and the other is connected to the retractor housing.
