Abstract
A safety belt system has an elongated flexible drive element or tape which pulls a carrier connected with the safety belt along a track. Opposite ends of the tape are connected to a dual channel spool having inner and outer spool portions. A single reversible electric motor is operable to rotate the dual channel spool in one direction to pull the safety belt away from the occupant of a vehicle and in the opposite direction to pull the safety belt toward the occupant of the vehicle. As the spool is rotated in one direction, the tape is wound around one of the spool portions to pull the carrier rearwardly along the track. When the spool is rotated in the opposite direction, the tape is wound around the other spool portion to pull the carrier forwardly along the track.
