Claim Text:
1. A seat belt device comprising: a seat belt retracting member for retracting a seat belt; a primary rotation source which rotates the seat belt retracting member about an axis of rotation when the primary rotation source is brought into connection with the seat belt retracting member; a secondary rotation source which rotates the seat belt retracting member at faster speeds than the primary rotation source; and a power transmission mechanism adapted for reversibly switching between connection and disconnection of the primary rotation source with the seat belt retracting member before the secondary rotation source is activated; a primary engagement member which rotates together with the seat belt retracting member; a secondary engagement member which moves in response to a rotation of the primary rotation source and pivotably mounted on a rotary member rotatable about the axis of rotation by the primary rotation source, the primary and secondary engagement member having an engaged position relative to each other, in which the primary and secondary engagement members are positively engaged with each other to prevent a rotation of the seat belt retracting member in a pull-out direction relative to the primary rotation source, and having a disengaged position relative to each other, in which the seat belt retracting member can rotate in the pull-out direction relative to the primary rotation source; and a biasing member continuously biasing the secondary engagement member in a direction, in which the primary engagement member and the secondary engagement member are in the disengaged position relative to each other; while when the secondary rotation source is activated, the power transmission mechanism non-reversibly interrupts the connection between the first rotation source and the seat belt retracting member.
