Abstract: Provided is a seat belt retractor capable of having its assembly readily performed to increase assembly efficiency, simplifying shapes of components to readily manufacture the retractor and reduce manufacturing cost, and preventing a webbing from being hooked when the webbing is rewound. The seat belt retractor includes a housing constituting a main body of the seat belt retractor, a guide drum rotatably installed in the housing, a connector inserted into one side of the guide drum, a base member surrounding the connector, a gear member inserted into the base member, a cylinder for operating the gear member, a torsion bar inserted into the guide drum, a locking member fixedly inserted between the torsion bar and the guide drum, a locking clutch installed at one surface of the locking member, a mechanism cover installed at one surface of the locking clutch, and a friction spring installed in the mechanism cover to stop operation of a lock arm fixed to the locking clutch.

Abstract: Provided is a cover structure of a seat belt retractor including a mechanism cover having a latch formed at a cylindrical inner periphery thereof and a vehicle sensor installed at a lower part thereof, in order to reduce assembly time of the vehicle sensor, characterized in that the mechanism cover has an accommodating part having an opened lower surface for disposing the vehicle sensor therein, the accommodating part has a fixing hole formed at one side surface thereof, and the vehicle sensor has a fixing projection projecting from a position corresponding to the fixing hole. Therefore, it is possible to very conveniently and readily assemble the vehicle sensor to the mechanism cover using the cover structure. In addition, since the accommodating part is supported by an extension part, it is possible to prevent deformation of the accommodating part, despite prolonged use. Further, it is possible to reduce assembly time of the vehicle sensor to thereby increase productivity.

Abstract: Provided is a locking member mounting structure of a seat belt retractor including: a locking base coupled to one side of a guide drum; a locking clutch rotatably coupled to one side surface of the locking base; a lock arm coupled to one side surface of the locking clutch so as to rotate at a predetermined angle; and a mechanism cover covering the locking clutch and the lock arm, wherein a leaf spring is fixed to extend to one side from a boss formed in the center of the locking clutch, and a fixing piece projects from one surface of the lock arm so as to be fixed to the leaf spring. The leaf spring which returns the lock arm installed in the locking clutch is easily assembled, and assembly time of the leaf spring is reduced, thereby increasing productivity. Further, since the leaf spring has a curved portion or is formed in a stair shape, elasticity of the leaf spring is maintained, and deformation of the leaf spring is prevented.

Abstract: A control system for a seatbelt retractor for a seatbelt retractor is to perform the operating performance test of the retractor mounted on a holder structure with at least one sensor and a locking device cooperating therewith throughout a wider range of tilt angle using a PLC, in which the control system includes a motor control portion connected to the PLC to control the rotation of motors at a tilt angle to be inputted in advance; a rotary cylinder control portion for controlling the rotating of a rotary cylinder in order to rotate a spool of the retractor; a stamping control portion for controlling the operating timing of a stamping portion; a memory for enabling various control operations of the PLC; a data register for storing digital data code values corresponding to a plurality of tilt angles; and a multi-axle motion controller for computing the digital data values, therefore enabling the tilt angle of the retractor to be tested with the holder structure being slanted.

Abstract: a control system of a factory automation facility for a seatbelt retractor assembly comprising a factory automation facility and a control portion for controlling the operating of all parts in the factory automation facility, integrally, to enable the mass-production of a seatbelt retractor assembly, in which the factory automation facility comprises a webbing throwing-in portion for throwing-in a webbing of a strip type thereinto by a first webbing supplying portion; first and second webbing position determining devices for guiding the webbing to pass through the hole of a retractor spool, a webbing withdrawing portion including a second webbing supplying portion and a case to withdraw the webbing and store it for a while, first and second part supplying portions for assembling a tongue, a guide ring and a ring mount on the withdrawn webbing, a stopper fixing portion including a third webbing supplying portion for carrying the webbing to a webbing folding portion, upper and lower stopper suppliers for supply

Abstract: A control system for a seatbelt retractor for a seatbelt retractor is to perform the operating performance test of the retractor cooperated with at least one sensor and a locking apparatus with respect to a wider range of tilt angles by a PLC control method so as to promote the plant automation and perform a series of the performance test of the retractor at once.

Abstract: A buffer is provided in the rack stopper of cylindrical tube of a steering gear box of an automobile. The buffer includes a housing imbedded into the rack stopper, a piston rod extending outwardly from the housing, and a spring for elastically supporting the piston rod in the housing, whereby the piston rod of the buffer bumps against a bracket of a ball joint connector when the steering wheel is turned to the left or right to the maximum position.
