ABSTRACT:
An improved subassembly can be used in either a top release buckle or an end release buckle. The subassembly includes an elongated metal base. A latch bar is pivotally supported in openings in side portions of the base for movement between an engaged condition and a disengaged condition. A slide is movable along the base to move the latch bar between the engaged and disengaged conditions and to hold the latch bar in the engaged condition. The slide has a pair of side sections which are engaged by either the actuator pad of a top release buckle or the actuator slide of an end release buckle. The side sections of the slide have cam surfaces which move the latch bar between the engaged and disengaged conditions. The side sections of the slide member have blocking surfaces which hold the latch bar in the engaged condition. An ejector member ejects a safety belt tongue from a buckle upon movement of the latch bar to the disengaged condition and blocks movement of the latch bar from the disengaged condition until the tongue is again inserted into the buckle.
