Abstract
The specification describes a webbing-locking mechanism suitable for use in a vehicle. The webbing-locking mechanism includes a guide roller allowing a webbing, which is fastened at one end thereof to a take-up reel, to extend over a predetermined length of the circumference of the guide roller. It further comprises a locking member capable of assuming either first position to permit free rotation of the guide roller or second position to inhibit any rotation of the guide roller; and guide means adapted to guide the locking member from the first position to the second position when a tensile force of a predetermined value or greater has been applied to the webbing and from the second position to the first position when the tensile force has been released. Since the movement of the locking member is controlled by the guide means, the structure of the above webbing-locking mechanism has been simplified around the locking member. This permits easier assembly work of webbing-locking mechanisms.
