Abstract
A seat belt retractor is formed of a reel for a seat belt having a rotary shaft with an end, a bearing for rotationally supporting the end of the rotary shaft, and a rotary shaft end support formed in the bearing. The end of the rotary shaft has a curved surface, and the rotary shaft end support has an opposing surface opposing the end of the rotary shaft for supporting the end of the rotary shaft. The opposing surface has a curved surface corresponding to that of the end of the rotary shaft to thereby properly support the rotary shaft without wobbling.
