ABSTRACT:
A seat belt buckle for a child's seat is formed of an inexpensive construction having a latching member with an integral push-button, latch dog, and return spring formed from a single piece of spring steel. The buckle body may be molded in one piece of plastic with a central cavity to receive the latching member and grooves or tracks in the plastic body guiding and holding the tongue plate for latching engagement with the latch dog. Interlocking portions of the latching member and the buckle body hold the assembled buckle components together. For heavier load conditions, a metal insert may be added to the buckle body to assist in transferring tensile loads from the tongue plate and through the latching member to an anchor member for the buckle.
