Abstract
In the webbing retractor, a lock plate is supported by a circular axis so as to be circularly movable freely by a resin support portion of a gear case by insertion of the circular axis of the lock plate in a support hole of the gear case. Even at times when great load acts on the lock plate at the support portion side, deformation of the support portion caused by movement towards the support portion side of the lock plate is prevented due to the tip of the circular axis of the lock plate contacting the metal blocking portion of the cover plate. Due to this, release of the support of the lock plate by the support portion is prevented.
