Publication number: 20200276957Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2017Publication date: September 3, 2020Inventors: Yuya NAGATA, Tomonari UMAKOSHI, Takuhiro SAITO, Takahiro OSAKI

Patent number: 10744974Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOKAI-RIKA-DENKI-SEISAKUSHOInventors: Takamasa Sato, Takahiro Osaki, Yuya Nagata, Tomonari Umakoshi, Takuhiro Saito

Patent number: 10654443Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2016Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOKAI-RIKA-DENKI-SEISAKUSHOInventors: Yuya Nagata, Takahiro Osaki, Takuhiro Saito, Tomonari Umakoshi
