ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat belt buckle mechanism designed for use with belt pretensioning means and being rendered immune to the effects of rapid buckle deceleration following pretensioning action the mechanism having a resiliently movable plate 82 carried by the buckle release button, the resilience being effectively much lighter than release button return springs 49c so that although the plate 82 normally has no effect, in the event of pretensioning action, it slides into an abutting position in the mechanism to inhibit subsequent spurious release resulting from button movement in a crash situation.
