The retractor includes a torsion bar disposed within the spool 32. In the retractor, an inner member 52 or an outer member 56 is selectively connected to a lock mechanism 38. During a first load state, a first end 53 of the inner member or first end 57 of the outer member 56 is fixed to the lock mechanism 38. During a second load state, both of the first end 53 of the inner member 52 and first end 57 of the outer member 56 are connected to the lock mechanism 38. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
