ABSTRACT:
A buckle assembly for a motor vehicle belt restraint system. The buckle assembly includes a mounting plate and a buckle strap carrying the buckle which is rotatably affixed to the mounting plate. A torsion spring acts on the buckle strap to rotationally bias it toward a desired position. The buckle assembly includes a retainer for maintaining the buckle strap in a mounting position, allowing convenient mounting of the device to the motor vehicle structure. Following mounting, the retainer is released to enable the buckle strap to move to its normal range of positions, allowing the buckle assembly to operate in its normal manner.
