ABSTRACT:
In a webbing retractor, when a V-gear rotates in a take-up direction at an angular velocity of less than a preset upper limit angular velocity VH and a braking pawl moves toward an engaging position, an anchor claw of the braking pawl meshes with an internal tooth of a braking gear, and the braking gear is connected via the braking pawl to the V-gear so as to rotate integrally in the take-up direction. In this way, a coil portion of a torsion coil spring twists in the take-up direction (diameter contracting direction) via anchor pins. Therefore, an inner diameter of the coil portion contracts, and an inner peripheral surface of the coil portion press-contacts an outer peripheral surface of a braking shaft. End locking is prevented from arising when a spool, which rotates in the take-up direction, stops.
