ABSTRACT:
In a webbing retractor retracting an occupant restraining webbing therein, one end portion of resilient means giving a webbing retracting force to a webbing takeup shaft retracting the webbing thereon is driven by drive means, so that the retracting force of the takeup shaft is made changeable, and the drive of the drive means is controlled by a control device in accordance with detected signals from position detecting switch means for detecting a drive position of the end portion of the resilient means and from direction detecting switch means for detecting a drive direction thereof. Accordingly, not only the drive position but also the drive direction are reliably detected by the detecting switches, so that the webbing retracting force of the takeup shaft can be reduced securely.
