Abstract

A take-up spindle is used to wind thereon a webbing of a seat belt system. The take-up spindle has a shaft defining a slot through which the webbing may extend, a sleeve fitted externally on the shaft and defining a first slot and a second slot therethrough, and an insert filling out the first slot. Each of the first and second slots of the sleeve permits insertion of the webbing therethrough. The second slot of the sleeve serves to guide the webbing out of the sleeve.
