<p>1,247,297. Safety belts. AUTOINDUSTRIA A.B. 13 Oct., 1969 [5 Nov., 1968], No. 50098/ 69. Heading A3V. In an automatic inertial locking device 2 for a vehicle safety belt 3 comprising a rotatable shaft 5, mounted in a casing 1, for reeling the belt, and a rotor 10 fixed to the shaft on whose circumference at least one locking pawl 12 is disposed to be radially outwardly displaceable, in response to guided centrifugal forces to cooperate with at least one locking tooth 13 in the casing, a disc member 21, which is coaxial and rotatable relative to said rotor, rotates at the same speed as the rotor below a set value of angular acceleration and, by means of position guide members on the disc, prevents the pawl 12 from locking with one of the teeth 13, but when the angular acceleration of the rotor exceeds the set value, said disc, due to inertial forces, rotates momentarily more slowly than the rotor and causes said guide members to release the pawl to lock with the tooth. The safety belt is held on the shaft by a coil spring 4, and its internal anchored end by a rod 7. The pawl is in two halves - a locking portion 17 to engage the tooth, and a guide portion 18 to engage with the guide member, as in Fig. 7. A pin 41 projects from the disc member into a groove 39 in the rotor as in Fig. 4, the pin being held in position by a spring 40 at one end of the groove. Above the set rotor acceleration the pin will displace as shown and hence the disc will lay the rotor and the device will lock. The critical acceleration can be varied by altering the spring strength. A locking member 25 (not shown), formed as a two armed lever is positioned such that it engages the tooth and locks the device when the device is axially or laterally accelerated. The locking pawl may be housed in a wedge shaped recess in the rotor and thus swingable or it may be only radially displaceable in which case the position guide member is formed as a stop 47.</p> |
