Patent number: 6655626Abstract: A belt retractor for a vehicle safety belt includes a frame, a belt spool rotatably mounted in the frame, and a locking mechanism which is provided with a release disk and by means of which the belt spool can be blocked against rotation in the frame. The belt retractor further includes a control disk as well as a reduction gear that couples the belt spool with the control disk. A rocking lever is provided which is adapted to be pivoted by the control disk between a release position in which it does not cooperate with the release disk, and a blocking position in which it engages in the release disk, whereby the belt spool can be blocked against rotation. A switch is provided which is adapted to be actuated by the control disk when a predetermined amount of belt webbing has been drawn off the belt spool and the control disk has been turned into a predetermined position.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2001Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: TRW Occupant Restraint Systems GmbH & Co.
