ABSTRACT:
A tongue assembly is used in a safety apparatus having a belt for restraining movement of an occupant of a vehicle. The tongue assembly includes a base having a flat leading end portion, a flat trailing end portion which is offset from and extends parallel to the leading end portion, and a connector portion extending between the leading and trailing end portions. The base has an opening which extends through the trailing end portion and through the connector portion. A locking bar spans the opening in the base. The belt extends through the opening, across the bar and back through the opening. When the tongue assembly is disconnected from a buckle, the belt extends through the tongue assembly so that the belt has first and second straight portions with the angle between the first and second straight portions of the belt being at least 154.degree..
