Abstract
A seat belt retractor in which the housing has differential structural integrity. The retractor frame has a rigid structure and contains the retraction and locking elements. A mounting flange is connected to the frame and is permitted to distort in a controlled fashion as a result of crash forces acting on the retractor, whereby the frame remains substantially undistorted.
