Abstract

The present disclosure presents a webbing take-up device, which comprises: a spool; a lock section that is restricted from rotating at a time of a vehicle emergency so as to limit rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction; a force limiter mechanism that permits rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction at a force limiter load or greater when rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction with respect to the lock section is being limited; a switching member that switches a load value of the force limiter load by switching between a rotation-restricted state and a rotation-enabled state; and a mounting member that includes a switching member mounting section at which the switching member is disposed, and a restriction section that is engaged with the switching member so as to restrict displacement of the switching member disposed at the switching member mounting section.

Claims (10)

1. A webbing take-up device, comprising:

a spool at which a webbing worn by an occupant is taken up, and that is rotated in a pull-out direction by the webbing being pulled out;

a lock section that is restricted from rotating at a time of a vehicle emergency so as to limit rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction;

a force limiter mechanism that permits rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction at a force limiter load or greater when rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction with respect to the lock section is being limited;

a switching member that switches a load value of the force limiter load by switching between a rotation-restricted state and a rotation-enabled state; and

a mounting member at which a restriction section is formed, the mounting member including a switching member mounting section at which the switching member is disposed, and the restriction section being engaged with the switching member so as to restrict displacement in a rotational axis direction of rotation of the switching member of the switching member disposed at the switching member mounting section.

2. The webbing take-up device of claim 1 , wherein the restriction section applies a bias toward the switching member side using a recovery force arising as a result of elastic deformation of the restriction section in a direction away from the switching member.

3. The webbing take-up device of claim 1 , wherein the restriction section is provided with a pressed portion that is configured to be pressed by a portion of the switching member in a rotational direction of the switching member when the switching member is rotated such that the pressed portion is moved in a direction away from the switching member.

4. The webbing take-up device of claim 3 , wherein the pressed portion has at least one of a first face configured to be pressed by the portion of the switching member and a second face configured to be pressed by the portion of the switching member, the first face being inclined with respect to the rotational direction and a radial direction of rotation of the switching member, and the second face being inclined with respect to the rotational direction and the rotational axis direction.

5. The webbing take-up device of claim 1 , wherein the restriction section is formed integrally with the mounting member.
