Abstract: Device for storing and paying out automatically a predetermined length of webbing, for example of a safety belt, and also for causing the voluntary or automatic instantaneous locking thereof, said webbing being essentially passed around wedge and pulley means within a case containing a return sandow. In the release position pulling the webbing will pay out the stored webbing as desired, thus tensioning the band which will tend to produce the reverse movement, i.e. the storage of the webbing. The voluntary or automatic locking of the webbing in all positions is obtained by causing the movement of a movable member adapted to wedge said webbing in relation to said case.
