Retractor for seat belt

To provide a retractor for a seat belt which achieves miniaturization / long service life of a motor concerning clutch operation by enhancing quickness of the clutch operation and at the same time makes it possible to correspond to request of high power / high speed belt winding.SOLUTION: In a clutch mechanism 20, a final gear 10 and an additional gear 11 rotate in opposite directions mutually when a motor 4 rotates by first rotational frequency in a belt winding direction. At this time, a friction ring 50 rotates integrally with the additional gear 11 by connection by friction force which intervenes between the additional gear 11 and the friction ring 50 and moves to an engagement position by pressurizing a pawl 40 and then switches in clutch ON state thereby. The friction ring 50 rotates along with the final gear 10 via the pawl 40 relatively to the additional gear 11 and in a direction opposed to the additional gear 11 because torque caused by rotation of the final gear 10 transmitted to the friction ring 50 via the pawl 40 exceeds the friction force when the motor 4 further rotates in the belt winding direction after the first rotational frequency.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7
