Webbing take-up device

A webbing take-up device comprising:

• a spool that takes up a webbing;
• a take-up spring that biases the spool in a take-up direction that takes up the webbing;
• a reduction balance spring configured by a spiral spring, that is wound up due to a spiral direction inside end of the reduction balance spring rotating toward one side of a rotation direction with respect to a spiral direction outside end of the reduction balance spring;
• a first rotating body to which is anchored the spiral direction outside end of the reduction balance spring;
• a restricting section that restricts rotation of the first rotating body toward the one side of the rotation direction due to a tongue provided at the webbing being mounted to a buckle;
• and
• a second rotating body that is coaxial and capable of relative rotation with respect to the first rotating body, and that is coupled to the spool, the second rotating body rotating toward the one side of the rotation direction due to the spool rotating in the take-up direction;
• and
• an engagement groove that is formed at the second rotating body, and into which is inserted the spiral direction inside end of the reduction balance spring,
• the engagement groove being configured such that, at a time of release of winding up of the reduction balance spring, a portion of the reduction balance spring which portion is in the vicinity of the spiral direction inside end stands up so as to extend in a radial direction of the second rotating body while the spiral direction inside end moves inside the engagement groove before the spiral direction inside end contacts an inner face, which is at the one side in the rotation direction, of the engagement groove, wherein:
• the spiral direction inside end of the reduction balance spring configures a hook shaped portion comprising
• a radial direction extension portion that extends from a main body portion of the reduction balance spring towards a center side in the radial direction of the second rotating body, and
• a circumferential direction extension portion that extends from an end portion of the radial direction extension portion, which end portion is at the opposite side from the main body portion, towards the one side of the rotation direction of the second rotating body;
• and
• the engagement groove is formed to comprise
• a radial direction groove whose one end opens at an outer peripheral face of the second rotating body, and whose another end is set at an inner side in the radial direction of the second rotating body, a groove width of the radial direction groove being set larger than a thickness dimension of the radial direction extension portion of the reduction balance spring that is inserted from the one end of the radial direction groove, and
• a circumferential direction groove whose base end is connected to the another end of the radial direction groove, and whose leading end is positioned further to the one side of the rotation direction of the second rotating body than the base end, a groove width of the circumferential direction groove being set larger than a thickness dimension of the circumferential direction extension portion of the reduction balance spring, and a length from the base end to the leading end of the circumferential direction groove being set longer than a length of the circumferential direction extension portion.
