Abstract
A locking web retractor includes a frame including spaced-apart side walls, a spool rotatably mounted between the side walls, the spool rotatable in a web take-up pay out directions, locking components operatively coupled to the spool, a ferromagnetic component movable relative to the locking components between an unlocking position in which the ferromagnetic component does not cause the locking components to prevent the spool from rotating in the web pay out direction and a locking position in which the ferromagnetic component causes the locking components to prevent the spool from rotating in the web pay out direction, a magnet responsive to actuation to cause the ferromagnetic component to move from the unlocking position to the locking position to cause the locking components to prevent the spool from rotating in the web pay out direction, and means for actuating the magnet.
