ABSTRACT:
A webbing retractor wherein a take-up shaft supporting a webbing worn by a seat occupant of a vehicle is rotated in a webbing taking-up direction by an urging force of a take-up mechanism connected to the take-up shaft. The rotation of the take-up shaft in a webbing drawing-out direction is stopped upon detection of a predetermined acceleration of the vehicle, whereupon the take-up shaft is moved by the webbing drawing-out force to lock an intermediate portion of the webbing drawn out from the take-up shaft. The take-up shaft and the take-up mechanism are connected together via a pair of mutually meshing gears. One of the gears is moved together with the take-up shaft in a state in which its engagement with the other gear is maintained when the take-up shaft is moved. Accordingly, the take-up mechansim is not moved when the take-up shaft is moved.
