Claim:
A webbing take-up device comprising: a take-up shaft that takes up a webbing belt for restraining a vehicle passenger; a metal frame that axially supports the take-up shaft at both ends of the take-up shaft and which has a pair of opposing sides; and a lock mechanism comprising a lock plate that blocks rotation in the pullout direction of the webbing of the take-up shaft, said lock mechanism engaging the take-up shaft; wherein the lock plate is formed by performing press-punch processing and press-bend processing on a same metal plate and has a lock having teeth on a first surface latching with a lock gear so as to block rotation in the pullout direction of the take-up shaft; a connecting portion that spans between the opposing sides of the frame and being formed so that one end side thereof includes a right angle bend that is continuous with a second surface of the lock that is opposite to said first surface of the lock and that supports the lock; and the lock is formed to be larger along a widthwise direction than the measurement of the connecting portion in the widthwise direction that is the direction perpendicular to both the spanning direction and the thickness direction of the connecting portion, wherein a surface of the connecting portion perpendicular to in the thickness direction and cut surfaces of the second lock surface closest to the one end side of the connecting portion and on opposite sides of the right angle bend in the widthwise direction are made to be substantially parallel, and said cut surfaces of the second lock surface are coplanar, wherein said lock teeth of said lock face away from the connecting portion, and lie spaced away from the ends of the lock in the widthwise direction, and said lock and connecting portion have a same thickness, and wherein said lock includes at least one support shaft attached thereto.
