<p>In order to more effectively absorb shock energy by a torsion bar (7) included in a motor-driven emergency locking retractor (1), the power of a motor (12) is transmitted to a spool (4) through a connecting gear (27) of a power transmission mechanism (21), a pinion gear (28), a locking base (17), the torsion bar (7), and a bushing (20), and the spool (4) rotates so as to control the tension of a belt (3). Also, activation of deceleration-sensing means (5) causes a pawl (16) to rotate and to engage with internal teeth (30) formed on the sidewall of a frame (2), thereby preventing rotation of the locking base (17). Thus, the torsion bar (7) is twisted, and only the spool (4) rotates. In this state, a motor-driving unit (13) is disposed close to a locking mechanism (6) of the torsion bar (7), and the spool (4) rotates without receiving a resistance from the motor-driving unit (13), whereby shock energy is easily transmitted to the torsion bar (7). <IMAGE></p> |
