A seat belt retractor having a structure preventing a gear or pinion having external teeth from being improperly assembled to a spool gear. The pinion includes concave portions on its inner periphery and the spool gear includes corresponding convex portions on its outer periphery. The concave and convex portions are configured to be fit together may be inclined in the circumferential direction and thus have no symmetrical plane. If during assembly the pinion is positioned adjacent the spool gear with the wrong side out, the pinion and the spool gear would not fit together and the mistake would be noticed and, therefore, prevented.
