Abstract
A retractor has a webbing take-up shaft rotatably supported by a base, biasing device for biasing the take-up shaft in a webbing take-up direction, a connecting member for connecting one part and another part of the biasing device, a locking member capable of assuming a locking position engaging the connecting member and a non-locking position disengaging from the connecting member, and a control device for controlling the locking member. When the locking member assumes the locking position, the biasing force of the other part of the biasing device is prevented from acting on the take-up shaft, and when the locking member assumes the non-locking position, the biasing forces of both parts of the biasing device are permitted to act on the take-up shaft.
