ABSTRACT:
A seat belt buckle (16) includes a latch mechanism (22), a pushbutton (24), an inertia member (100) and a spring (102). The pushbutton (24) has a release position in which it releases a seat belt tongue (14) from the latch mechanism (22). The inertia member (100) has a blocking position in which it prevents the pushbutton (24) from moving to the release position. The buckle (16) further includes structure (126, 128) which supports the inertia member (100) for inertial movement from a non-blocking position to the blocking position against a bias of the spring (102). The supporting structure (126, 128) is free of a pivotal bearing.
