Abstract: In a webbing retractor, a press insertion portion of a sleeve provided to a webbing take-up shaft is press-inserted into a press insertion hole of a clutch base. Ribs are provided to an inner peripheral face of the press insertion hole, thereby enabling rattling between the sleeve and the clutch base to be suppressed. An end face of each rib on the opposite side to the press insertion direction of the press insertion portion is configured with a sloping faces that slopes along the press insertion direction, and so the sloping face makes sliding contact with the press insertion portion when the press insertion portion is being press-inserted into the press insertion hole. Burrs due to the press insertion portion being cut by the ribs can accordingly be prevented or suppressed from generating.

Abstract: The present invention is to suppress a generation of a noise due to repeatedly hitting a clutch plate against a clutch cover and a clutch guide. A webbing take-up device is provided with a clutch cover fixed to a sub-torsion shaft so as to be rotatable integrally therewith; a clutch guide arranged so as to face the clutch cover, and supported capable of relatively rotating to the sub-torsion shaft; a lock ring formed around the clutch cover and the clutch guide; and a clutch plates turned to a lock ring side while being guided by the clutch guide in accordance with relative rotation of the clutch guide to the clutch cover into one rotational direction, and engaged with the lock ring. L-shaped springs which urge the clutch plates to a clutch cover side are formed integrally with the clutch guide.

Abstract: There is provided a webbing take-up device including: a seating portion formed to a cylinder shaped body and facing towards a cylinder shaped body axial direction second side; a bar shaped body housed at the inside of the cylinder shaped body and comprising a protrusion portion protruding out from the bar shaped body towards the cylinder shaped body axial direction second side; a push nut attached by fitting over the protrusion portion; and a washer through which the protrusion portion is inserted, the washer being seated against the seating portion with a face of the washer on the side of the washer away from the seating portion in contact with the push nut, and the rigidity to bending of the washer set higher than the rigidity to bending of the push nut.

Abstract: In a webbing retractor, in a state where a second anchored portion of a sub torsion shaft is connected to a frame via a rotation impeding mechanism, when a spool is pulled by excessive tension that is applied to a webbing, there is a tendency for the spool to tilt with respect to a sleeve that is supported at the frame via the rotation impeding mechanism. In this case, a distance between a second energy absorbing portion of the sub torsion shaft and an inner peripheral surface of an insert-through hole changes. A change in the distance becomes large at an opening side of the insert-through hole, but an inner diameter of the insert-through hole is enlarged at the opening side. Due thereto, it can be made such that the second energy absorbing portion does not interfere with the inner peripheral surface of the insert-through hole.

Abstract: It is provided a webbing winding device with good assembly characteristics of components in a second lock unit. In the webbing winding device, due to a leading end of a spring tab of a guide plate interacting with ratchet teeth of an internal ratchet and a second lock base rotating in the pull-out direction in this state, relative rotation occurs between the guide plate and the second lock base, and a second lock pawl is meshed with the ratchet teeth of the internal ratchet. Since this configuration is not a configuration in which relative rotation between the guide plate and a second lock base is induced by bias force of bias means, such as a compression coil spring or the like, there is no bias force received in the rotational circumferential direction when the guide plate and the second lock base are being assembled, resulting in easy assembly.

Abstract: In a webbing winding device, even when a piston moves toward the other side in a movement direction due to a reaction when the piston moves to a maximum movement position, an engagement surface of a hook portion comes into contact with a subject engagement surface of a subject engagement portion, so that the movement of the piston toward the other side in the movement direction is restricted. Accordingly, the piston is prevented from returning to a standby position, and a pawl is prevented from returning to a lock position. For this reason, a state where a rotation of a locking ring in the pull-out direction is maintained. Accordingly, after the piston moves from the standby position to the maximum movement position, the piston is prevented from returning to the standby position, and the force limiter load is prevented from being changed.

Abstract: In a webbing winding device, a sub-torsion shaft is inserted from one side in the axial direction of a spool into the spool when assembling the sub-torsion shaft to the spool. Subsequently, by the sub-torsion shaft rotating in the winding direction, movement of the sub-torsion shaft with respect to the spool in the winding direction and in one side in the axial direction is inhibited. Subsequently, by a stopper being fitted from one side in the axial direction into insertion groove portions, movement of the sub-torsion shaft with respect to the spool in the pull out direction is inhibited. Accordingly, since the direction in which the sub-torsion shaft is assembled to the spool becomes only a direction parallel to the axial direction of the spool, the assembility of the sub-torsion shaft with respect to the spool may be improved.

Abstract: A webbing take-up device including: a spool on which a webbing fitted over an occupant is taken up; a restricting member restricting a rotation of the spool in the pullout direction under specific circumstances; a force limiter mechanism permitting the rotation of the spool in the pullout direction when a force limiter load or a higher load is imparted while the restricting member is restricting the rotation of the spool in the pullout direction; a switching member being capable of switching between a disposed position at a first position and a disposed position at second position, and provided between the first position and the second position; and an operation member being capable of being switched between operation and non-operation, whereby the disposed position of the switching member is switched between the first position and the second position and the force limiter load is switched between a high-load and a low-load.

Abstract: A pretensioner comprising a gas generating unit; a pretensioner body to whose inside the gas is supplied; a spool driving member disposed inside the pretensioner body and causing a spool to rotate to retract webbing onto the spool; a gas flow rate adjusting portion disposed in the spool driving member and whose inner peripheral shape is set in accordance with a flow rate of the gas to be passed through the gas flow rate adjusting portion; and a filter unit having a vent portion that is communicated with a space between the gas generating unit and the spool driving member and is also communicated with the gas flow rate adjusting portion. The open shape of the gas flow rate adjusting portion has a portion that does not coincide in a plan view with the open shape of the vent portion, and the overall open area of the vent portion is set larger than the open area of the gas flow rate adjusting portion.

Abstract: In the present pretensioner, press contact portions are formed further to a side of an open end of a packing housing section than central portions of opposing faces along a depth direction of the packing housing section. Accordingly, when a packing is being fitted into the packing housing section, no great resistance is imparted to a curved face side of the packing from a press contact wall of a housing section body and the opposing face, and the packing is fitted comparatively smoothly therein. Consequently, even when fitting the packing into the packing housing section, a packing main body is largely resilient-deformed, such that a large collapse in a through hole can be prevented, and the sealing ability of the seal due to deformation of the packing main body can be effectively enhanced.

Abstract: In the pretensioner, a guiding wall is provided in a generator-side passing portion of a gas passing portion, and an inner portion of the generator-side passing portion at a portion where the guard wall is set is located to a base end rather than a tip end of a wire protective cylinder. Further, a gas generator mounting hole and the generator-side passing portion is inclined to be directed the base end of the wire protective cylinder. For this reason, gas that is jetted from a gas generator is blown to the base end of the wire protective cylinder or a surrounding portion thereof. As a result, even though the thickness of the wire protective cylinder is not set to be large, it can be against pressure of the blown gas.
