ABSTRACT:
A buckle switch is described for use in automotive safety belt applications which is slidably located inside the buckle and in which an actuator is pivotally operated by the insertion of the tongue of the buckle. The tongue enters the buckle and engages the switch actuator so as to pivot the actuator and its contactor bar into camming wiping engagement or disengagement with a pair of leads supported in a resin case and which resin case also pivotally supports the actuator element. The leads provide an orienting bias against the actuator which restores the original condition of the switch upon release and withdrawal of the tongue from the buckle. The resin case is supported in the buckle by sliding contact with the web floor of the channel shaped buckle housing and detent means secures the resin case to the belt slot and buckle extension. An extension of the buckle cover closes on the resin case assuring top and lateral location support.
