Abstract

Provided is a webbing take-up device including (i) a spool onto which webbing worn by an occupant is taken up as a result of the spool being rotated in a take-up direction, (ii) a rotating body that is provided so as to be integrally rotatable with the spool, has plural teeth disposed an interval apart from each other along a circumferential direction of rotation of the spool, and is rotated as a result of a moving member being moved and becoming engaged with the plural teeth so that the spool is rotated in the take-up direction, and (iii) a regulating portion that opposes the plural teeth in an axial direction of rotation of the spool, is provided so as to be integrally rotatable with the rotating body, and regulates movement, in a direction away from the plural teeth, of the moving member engaged with the plural teeth.

Claims

1. A webbing take-up device comprising:

a spool onto which webbing worn by an occupant is taken up as a result of the spool being rotated in a take-up direction;

a rotating body that is provided so as to be integrally rotatable with the spool, has plural teeth disposed an interval apart from each other along a circumferential direction of rotation of the spool, and is rotated as a result of a moving member being moved and becoming engaged with the plural teeth so that the spool is rotated in the take-up direction; and

a regulating portion that opposes the plural teeth in an axial direction of rotation of the spool, is provided so as to be integrally rotatable with the rotating body, and regulates movement, in a direction away from the plural teeth, of the moving member engaged with the plural teeth.

2. The webbing take-up device according to claim 1, wherein:

the rotating body comprises a first rotating body and a second rotating body that have the plural teeth,

the phase of the plural teeth of the first rotating body and the phase of the plural teeth of the second rotating body are disposed shifted from each other in the circumferential direction of rotation of the spool, and

the regulating portion comprises a first regulating portion that regulates movement, toward the first rotating body, of the moving member engaged with the plural teeth of the second rotating body and a second regulating portion that regulates movement, toward the second rotating body, of the moving member engaged with the plural teeth of the first rotating body.

3. The webbing take-up device according to claim 2, wherein:

the plural teeth of the first rotating body and the plural teeth of the second rotating body are disposed alternating with each other in the circumferential direction of rotation of the spool, and

intervals between the teeth of the first rotating body and the teeth of the second rotating body adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction of rotation of the spool are set at equal intervals.

4. The webbing take-up device according to claim 2, wherein the shapes of the plural teeth of the first rotating body and the shapes of the plural teeth of the second rotating body are formed symmetrically across a line orthogonal to the axial direction of rotation of the spool.

5. The webbing take-up device according to claim 2, wherein at least parts of the plural teeth of the first rotating body and at least parts of the plural teeth of the second rotating body are disposed overlapping each other in the circumferential direction of rotation of the spool.
