Holding structure and webbing winding apparatus

A holding structure for holding a member to be held that is provided in a holding element by said holding element, comprising:

• a holding pawl which is provided in said holding element, having a basal part positioned on the lateral side of said member to be held as well as a pawl part provided in the tip part of said basal part, and with which said pawl part engages with said member to be held, thereby holding said member to be held;
• an accommodation member which accommodates at least said member to be held and said holding pawl from the side facing said holding member, sandwiching said member to be held and said holding pawl;
• and
• a restriction member which is provided on the inner peripheral surface of said accommodation member, and which, when said basal part is deformed in a direction in which it separates from said member to be held, engages with said holding pawl for restricting the deformation of said basal part.

A webbing winding apparatus, comprising:

• a frame which directly or indirectly supports a spool to which the base end side of a continuous length strap-like webbing belt is latched;
• a rotating element which is coaxially rotatable with respect to said spool on the lateral side of said frame;
• a holding element which is mounted to said frame for supporting said rotating element rotatably;
• a holding pawl which has a basal part provided on said holding element on the lateral side of said rotating element, and with which a pawl part provided in the tip part of said basal part faces said rotating element on the side opposite to said holding element through said rotating element, engaging with said rotating element, thereby restricting the displacement of said rotating element along the axial direction of said rotating element;
• and
• a restriction member which, when said basal part is deformed in a direction in which it separates from said rotating element, engages with said holding pawl, restricting the deformation of said basal part.

A webbing winding apparatus, comprising:

• a rotating element which is coaxially rotatable with respect to said spool on the lateral side of said frame;
• a holding element which is mounted to said frame for supporting said rotating element rotatably;
• a holding pawl which has a basal part provided on said holding element on the lateral side of said rotating element, and with which a pawl part provided in the tip part of said basal part faces said rotating element on the side opposite to said holding element through said rotating element, engaging with said rotating element, thereby restricting the displacement of said rotating element along the axial direction of said rotating element;
• a covering member which accommodates at least said rotating element and said holding pawl from the side facing said holding member, sandwiching said rotating element and said holding pawl;
• and
• a restriction member which is provided on the inner peripheral surface of said covering member, and which, when said basal part is deformed in a direction in which it separates from said rotating element, engages with said holding pawl, restricting the deformation of said basal part.
