  • Publication number: 20220161755
    Abstract: Unnecessary locking of rotation of a spool is suppressed. A webbing take-up device is provided with a spool, a pawl and a small pawl. The pawl is displaceable between an allowing position and a locking position. When a rotation speed of the spool in a pull-out direction exceeds a predetermined speed, the pawl displaces from the allowing position to the locking position and locks rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction. The small pawl is displaceable between a pawl limiting position and a lock position. In a state in which the small pawl is disposed at the pawl limiting position, the small pawl limits displacement of the pawl to a locking position side thereof. In a state in which the small pawl is disposed at the lock position, the small pawl locks rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction.
