Provided is a seatbelt device which prevents an occupant from hitting his
face against an airbag deploying at the time of a vehicle collision. In order to
take up any seatbelt slack before a collision and prevent the occupant from being
displaced forward, the seatbelt device comprises a first tension modifier for winding
the seatbelt and taking up the seatbelt slack when a collision is predicted, and
a second tension modifier for further enhancing the tension of the seatbelt and
securing the occupant to the seat at the time of such collision, thereby ensuring
that the occupant does not exist in the airbag deployment zone when the airbag
is activated.
