ABSTRACT:
A seat belt buckle release guard apparatus has a box like device including first and second portions having recessed opposing ends and sides that are shelf hinged on one side, and bear a latch on a side opposing the hinged side. When the first and second portions are closed, opposing end apertures are formed for receiving a seat belt buckle segment and a tongue segment with the buckle sandwiched between the first and second portions. In one embodiment the latch bearing first portion side is recessed and a latching lug is formed within the recess; the latch bearing second portion side includes a latch for engaging the lug to close the box like device. When closed the recess forms a guide to the latch. The bottom of the recess is thickened to stiffen the latch bearing side and to position the seat belt buckle in the box like device. In operation the recess thickened bottom coacts with the box like device sides and seat belt buckle to rigidify the box and enhance the latching strength of the latch thereby making it difficult for a child to open the box like device and push the seat belt release button.
