ABSTRACT:
An inexpensive safety belt buckle of relatively small size and lightweight, yet capable of meeting the legal requirements of safety, is disclosed. The buckle includes a latch plate attached to one portion of the safety belt or structural member for insertion with reduced effort into a buckle body attached to another portion of the safety belt or structural member. The length of the buckle is foreshortened by a bent latch lever pivotally mounted on the buckle body and biased for engagement with the latch plate to prevent withdrawal of the latch plate from the buckle body. The height of the buckle is reduced by pivoting the latch lever downward to a release position which is below the plane generally defined by an upper surface of the base plate. The buckle is readily assembled without expanding the side flanges of the base member.
