A webbing take-up device includes a spool, a motor that includes a rotation shaft, and an A-gear, a B-gear, a holder gear, an input gear, a clutch gear, an idle gear, and a spool gear that transmit rotation of the rotation shaft to the spool. The webbing take-up device further includes clutch weights that are moved toward a rotation-radial direction outside by being rotated together with the input gear such that rotation force of the input gear is transmitted to the clutch gear. Moreover, axial centers of rotations of the A-gear, the B-gear, the input gear and the clutch gear, and the idle gear are disposed between an axial center of rotation of the holder gear and an axial center of rotation of the spool gear.

A seat-belt retractor comprising a seat-belt spindle, on which a seat-belt can be wound and which is rotatably mounted in a housing that can be fixedly secured to the vehicle, an electric motor for driving the seat-belt spindle in a rotational motion, and a gear mechanism that transmits the rotational motion from the electric motor to the seat-belt spindle, where a first blocking device is provided, which, when activated, blocks at least one of the parts of the gear mechanism, thereby activating the gear mechanism; and the first blocking device can be activated by a signal-controlled actuator, the actuator, in a second function, activating a second blocking device when a pre-defined feed-out acceleration of the seat-belt, or a pre-defined vehicle deceleration is exceeded.

In a webbing take-up device, side faces of press-fit holes in a pinion are inclined in directions toward the outside of the press-fit holes on progression toward the right. Press-fit portions of a torsion shaft are press-fit into the press-fit holes from the right such that an interference force between the press-fit portions and the side faces of the press-fit holes increases on progression toward the left. This enables the press-fit portions to be effectively retained in the press-fit holes.

A webbing winding device includes a spool, a sensor lever, and a solenoid. The sensor lever is displaceable between the first position and the second position. In a state where the sensor lever is disposed at the first position, the rotation in the drawing-out direction of the spool is enabled, and in a state where the sensor lever is disposed at the second position, the rotation in the drawing-out direction of the spool is locked. When the solenoid is actuated, a part of the sensor lever is attracted and the sensor lever is displaced from the first position to the second position. The center of gravity of the sensor lever is set so that the sensor lever is displaced toward the second position when negative acceleration with respect to the direction in which a part of the sensor lever is attracted to the solenoid is generated in the sensor lever.

A seatbelt retractor that includes a locking mechanism to prevent rotation of a spool in an extracting direction, a ratchet gear 7 and a locking gear 30 that integrally rotate with the spool, a clutch 50 that moves a pawl 9 from a rest position to an engaging position with respect to the ratchet gear 7, a clutch biasing member that biases the clutch 50 in a retracting direction and in a extracting direction, and a connecting mechanism to connect the clutch 50 to the locking gear 30. When extraction of the webbing is locked, a direction of biasing to rotate of the clutch 50 is maintained in the extracting direction so that the amount of retraction of the webbing required to release the lock is reduced to achieve quick release of the lock.

An intelligent retractor having a noise removal unit includes: a spool around which webbing is wound; a flywheel which is provided at one side of the spool and rotates along with the rotation of the spool; a locking unit which fixes the flywheel when a predetermined condition for preventing an extension of the webbing is satisfied; and a noise removal unit which rotates along with the rotation of the flywheel when the webbing is retracted, and prevents vibration from being generated in the locking unit.
