## Abstract

A webbing take-up device is provided with a spool that is rotated in a pull-out direction as a result of a webbing of a seatbelt device being pulled out, a sliding contact surface that is provided on a side in a rotation axis direction of the spool, and a locking component that, as a result of the locking component being moved towards a locking side, causes rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction to be restricted, and in which a curved surface portion that bulges towards the sliding contact surface side is provided further toward an inner side than an outer peripheral edge side of the sliding contact surface side, and in which the curved surface portion is made to slide across the sliding contact surface by the movement of the locking component towards the locking side.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A webbing take-up device comprising:
a spool that is rotated in a pull-out direction as a result of a webbing of a seatbelt device being pulled out;
a sliding contact surface that is provided at a side, in a rotation axis direction, of the spool; and
a locking component that, as a result of the locking component being moved towards a locking side, causes rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction to be restricted, a curved surface portion that bulges towards a sliding contact surface side being provided at an inner side from an outer peripheral edge side at the sliding contact surface side of the locking component, and the curved surface portion being made to slide across the sliding contact surface by the movement of the locking component towards the locking side.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The webbing take-up device according to claim 1, wherein the curved surface portion is provided further toward the inner side of the locking component than a portion at the locking side of an outer peripheral edge at the sliding contact surface side of the locking component.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The webbing take-up device according to claim 1, further comprising an engaging component at which are formed engaging teeth with which locking teeth that are formed at the locking component intermesh as a result of the movement of the locking component towards the locking side, rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction being restricted by the locking teeth intermeshing with the engaging teeth,
wherein the curved surface portion is provided further toward the inner side of the locking component than a portion of the locking teeth that is set at an outer peripheral edge at the sliding contact surface side of the locking component.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The webbing take-up device according to claim 1, wherein a tilt inhibiting portion is disposed at the locking component at an opposite side, in the spool rotation axis direction, from the sliding contact surface, the locking component is sandwiched between the tilt inhibiting portion and the sliding contact surface, and in a case in which a tilt action is generated at the locking component, the locking component comes into contact with the tilt inhibiting portion so that tilting of the locking component is inhibited.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The webbing take-up device according to claim 4, wherein the locking component is moved towards the locking side as a result of the locking component receiving a load at a tilt inhibiting portion side on an opposite side from the curved surface side.
