ABSTRACT:
A belt buckle with a fastener fitting for vehicle-fixed mounting comprising a carrier plate fixedly connected to the belt buckle. The carrier plate being connected to the fastener fitting. The carrier plate includes an opening by which the carrier plate is mounted rotatably on a pin extending through the opening and fixed to the fastener fitting. A return element is provided which urges the belt buckle relative to the fastener fitting rotationally about the centerline of the pin and rotationally about an axis perpendicular to the centerline of the pin and to the longitudinal axis of the belt buckle into a resting position. For the belt buckle being, for one thing, movable with respect to the fastener fitting, so that it can either be oriented at any time in a position optimal for the function or it permits being moved from a temporarily unwanted position, and for another, the belt buckle automatically returned after such a maladjustment into a resting position which is optimal for introducing the insert tongue into the belt buckle, the opening in the carrier plate is an elongated hole, the longitudinal axis which is roughly parallel to the longitudinal axis of the belt buckle, and the return element further urges the belt buckle into a resting position relative to the fastener fitting translationally in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the belt buckle.
