ABSTRACT:
A seat belt buckle includes a body having a latch lever pivotally mounted thereon and including a tang struck therefrom. The latch lever has a pushbutton portion which registers with an opening in a cover attached to the body. A spring biases the latch lever to a latching position in which the tang engages into an aperture of a latch plate inserted into the buckle. A locking member, preferably of molded plastic, is slidably mounted on the underside of the buckle body and manually movable between a locking condition in which a locking abutment of the locking member blocks depression of the latch lever by the pushbutton and unlocking position enabling the pivoting of the latch lever to withdraw the tang from the aperture of the latch plate. The locking member includes an integral spring arm carrying a detent tab which engages the buckle body to retain the locking member in either its locking or unlocking positions.
