Abstract
A webbing retractor has a take-up shaft for winding up a webbing. The take-up shaft is biased in the direction in which the webbing is wound up, by a spring having such a biasing force that there is no slack in the webbing when it is wound and yet the occupant feels no pressure from the webbing when he has the webbing fastened. When the webbing is unfastened and wound up onto the take-up shaft, a motor is activated, and the rotational force thereof is transmitted to the take-up shaft through a centrifugal clutch so that the take-up shaft is rotated, winding up the webbing.
