Abstract: A seat belt retractor according to the present invention includes a belt reel rotatably mounted on the side walls of a frame by a reel shaft. The reel is biased in the belt winding direction by a windup spring such as a clock spring or spiral spring having its inner end attached to the reel shaft and its outer end mounted on a gear which is coupled to the reel by a reduction gear arrangement by which the gear makes less than one revolution during the plurality of revolutions of the reel experienced during belt unwinding from the fully retracted condition to the fully extended condition for buckling about the occupant.

Abstract: The drawings illustrate a double pole, double throw switch for use in selectively controlling energization of either a first or second electric circuit. The switch includes two sets of first, second and third terminals, with each of the second terminals being offset in opposite directions from one another, and a pivotally mounted actuator button. A pair of legs are formed on the inner portion of the actuator button for carrying first and second contact strips, the latter being mounted for universal movement with respect to the second terminals so as to normally contact respective opposite first or third terminals.

Abstract: The drawings illustrate a double pole, double throw switch for use in selectively controlling energization of either a first or second electric circuit. The switch housing encompasses a pivotally mounted actuator button, two sets of first, second and third terminals mounted on a base member, and an insulator disc carrying two separate criss-crossing contact strips and pivotally mounted such that the strips normally contact respective first and third terminals of one set with one terminal contacting the second terminal of the other set. Oppositely disposed actuator elements are formed on the inner portion of the actuator button for contacting opposite edge portions of the pivotable base member.
