  • Patent number: 10813414
    Abstract: In a cover of a buckle device, an engagement hook of a side wall of an upper cover is fit together with an engagement groove of a side wall of a lower cover to assemble the upper cover to the lower cover. When the side wall of the upper cover receives an external force, a holder of a buckle switch is sandwiched between a side plate of a buckle body and a rib of the lower cover such that the side plate receives the external force. Accordingly, the rigidity at the engagement hook of the cover is able to be increased.

  • Publication number: 20200276957
    Abstract: A seatbelt use determination device includes: a sensor section configured to detect insertion of a seatbelt tongue into a seatbelt buckle; a detection section configured to detect rotation of a take-up section for taking up a webbing; and a notification section that is configured to, when insertion of the tongue into the buckle has been detected by the sensor section, use a detection result of the detection section to determine a predetermined improper use of the webbing and to provide notification of the improper use. When insertion of the tongue into the buckle has been detected by the sensor section, the notification section is configured to determine improper use and to notify of the improper use in cases in which a time period during which a rotation change amount per unit time of the take-up section is continuously less than a predetermined value is longer than a predetermined first threshold.

  • Patent number: 10744974
    Abstract: In a webbing take-up device, a cover member is disposed on the inner side of a second peripheral wall of a second housing member. Due thereto, an outer side surface of a third peripheral wall of the cover member and an inner side surface of the second peripheral wall of the second housing member oppose each other in a radial direction of urging, which is a radial direction of rotation of rotational urging force of a flat spiral spring, so displacement of the cover member outward in the radial direction of urging can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 10654443
    Abstract: A webbing take-up device includes clutch weights. The clutch weights are supported at the base and include engaging portions. The clutch weights move to a rotation diameter direction outer side when the base is rotated, and are capable of transmitting rotary force applied to the base to the spool. The webbing take-up device is provided with a stopper that is capable of relative rotating relative to the base and that is provided with engaged holes, each including an allowing portion and a restricting portion. The allowing portions allow movement of the engaging portions to the rotation diameter direction outer side when the base is rotating to one side. The restricting portions restrict movement of the engaging portions to the rotation diameter direction outer side when the base is rotating to the other side. The restricting portions are formed integrally with the allowing portions.

  • Patent number: 10618762
    Abstract: A webbing take-up device that includes: a cut-off section that cuts off transmission of rotation load along a rotation force transmission route from a second rotation force transmission mechanism to a spool via a first rotation force transmission mechanism due to the rotation load in a pull-out direction becoming a predetermined value or greater; and a resistance section that resists the rotation load during transmission of the rotation load, and that suppresses transmission of the rotation load along the rotation force transmission route in a case in which the rotation load is less than the predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 10464523
    Abstract: In a webbing take-up device, an angle from one end portion toward another end portion of a second clutch spring in a direction of winding of a coil portion from the one end portion toward the another end portion of the second clutch spring is 270°. Therefore, in a case in which the one end portion of the second clutch spring is rotated toward a side of the direction of the winding of the coil portion, one end side portion of the second clutch spring is displaced so as to bulge-out toward a side opposite to a side toward which another end side portion bulges-out.

  • Patent number: 10457248
    Abstract: A webbing take-up device includes a spool on which a webbing worn by an occupant is taken up, and a motor that includes a rotor with a rotation shaft and a motor housing covering part of the rotor, the rotor being urged toward one axial direction side of the rotation shaft with respect to the motor housing. The webbing take-up device further includes a second transmission mechanism that includes an A-gear fixed to the rotation shaft, and a B-gear meshed together with the A-gear and rotated by the A-gear being rotated toward one side together with the rotation shaft such that the spool is rotated. A helix angle of respective outer teeth of the A-gear is set such that an axial direction force toward the one axial direction side of the rotation shaft acts on the A-gear when the rotation shaft is rotated toward the one side.
