Seat belt device
Abstract
A seat belt retractor (80) is attached to a seat back (14) and a cable advancing and retreating mechanism (20) is attached to a portion where a supporting arm (12) and a shaft (18) for inclining the seat back (14) are connected to each other. The supporting arm (12) projects from a seat cushion (10) for supporting the seat back (14). Corresponding to the inclination of the seat back (14), a cable (70) laid between the cable advancing and retreating mechanism (20) and the seat belt retractor (80) is advanced or retreated from/into the cable advancing and retreating mechanism (20). The attitude of the acceleration sensor (92) attached to the seat belt retractor (80) is controlled by advancing or retreating the cable (70) so that the acceleration sensor (92) always stands perpendicularly.
