Abstract: An emergency locking retractor is constructed of a base having an engaged portion; a take-up spindle supported displaceably in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis thereof; a movable member supported rotatably about the spindle; a holder for normally holding the movable member unrotatably; a clutch mechanism for connecting the spindle and the movable member to each other when the spindle undergoes a rotational speed change; a ratchet member provided as a unitary member with the spindle, said ratchet member being engageable with the engaged portion to prevent any further rotation of the spindle when a tensile force is applied to the spindle and the spindle is displaced in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis thereof; and a clutch mechanism releasing device for causing the movable member to turn in a webbing-releasing direction when the ratchet member and engaged portion are in mutual engagement.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a lip suitable for use with a guide rail of a passive seat belt system in which a webbing is displaceable between an occupant-releasing position and an occupant-restraining position while being guided by a member movable along the guide rail. The lip is equipped integrally with at least one elastic clip for fixing the lip on the guide rail. Also disclosed is a combination of lips for such a guide rail. The lips are equipped integrally with at least one elastic clip extending between the lips, whereby the lips are fixed on the guide rail by the clip.
