Webbing retractor

In a webbing retractor, internal teeth, which engage with a pawl for a WSIR, are formed independently as a gear for a WSIR. External teeth are formed at an outer peripheral surface of the gear for a WSIR. There is another pawl which meshes with the external teeth. By utilizing a mechanism for switching between an ELR and an ALR, at a time when an entire amount of a webbing is taken-up, the pawl is moved apart from the external teeth against urging force of an urging device, such that the gear for a WSIR is held in a rotatable state. At other times, the pawl engages with the external teeth and fixedly holds the gear for a WSIR. When end locking arises, restraint of the gear for a WSIR is released, and the pawl immediately moves away from the internal teeth.
