Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A seat belt apparatus includes a reel, a motor, a clutch member, a belt reacher, a door opening/closing detection section, a wearing detection section and a motor control section. Once a change from an opened state to a closed state of a vehicle door is detected by the opening/closing detection section, the control section controls the motor so that the webbing is pulled out from the reel at a predetermined speed. Once wearing of the webbing is detected by the wearing detection section while the webbing is being pulled out at the predetermined speed, the control section controls the motor to stop pulling-out of the webbing. The predetermined speed is first kept at a constant speed, corresponding for example to a 10[%] duty cycle, for a predetermined time period and then caused to gradually decrease from the constant speed.
