Abstract

The shaft of a safety belt retractor is separated into two stays by an axial slot. One of the stays is provided with an axial groove in which the end of the belt webbing is inserted. Thereafter, the belt webbing is led around the one stay to have two windings, the end of the two windings being held in the axial slot. Finally, the rest of the belt webbing is wound around both stays. Neither seams nor special parts are needed for safely securing the belt webbing on the shaft.
