ABSTRACT:
A two-part vehicle safety buckle has an integral metal pressing with a flat base and overturned side walls defining a socket. A latch assembly extends around the pressing and is guided in cut-outs in the side walls and base for manual release movement generally at right angles to the base from a latch position in which a latch portion protrudes through an aperture in the base to engage a latching edge in a flat tongue received in the socket. One or more springs act between the latch assembly and the pressing or a housing. Release movement may be by direct actuation or through a pivotable or slidable release member acting on the latch assembly. A spring urged ejection member may oppose entry and assist withdrawal of the tongue, and may actuate a microswitch to indicate that an associated seat belt is in use.
