ABSTRACT:
A webbing retractor is provided that includes a winding shaft onto which a webbing used for restraining a vehicle occupant is wound; a locking pawl which is actuated to stop rotation of the winding shaft in a webbing unwinding direction; an automatic locking retractor (ALR) lever which can be moved at an operating position when the locking pawl is actuated and at a non-operating position when the locking pawl is not actuated, and which is usually biased toward the operating position; a cam member for holding the ALR lever at the non-operating position from a first state in which the webbing is wound onto the winding shaft substantially to its full length to a second state immediately before the webbing is pulled out substantially to its full length, and a stopping mechanism for holding the ALR lever at the non-operating position to the end of the second state and allowing movement of the ALR lever to the operating position when the winding shaft rotates, in a third state, in a direction in which the webbing is rewound. The retractor allows the webbing to be pulled out to its full length without actuation of the ALR lever.
