A child's safety belt connection buckle with a belt buckle inserted into an inserting space in an inserting base in the horizontal direction, and locked by a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism has a sliding member capable of moving reciprocally along the horizontal direction, and a locking member capable of moving reciprocally in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction. The locking mechanism has a locking position and an unlocking position. When the locking mechanism is at the locking position, the belt buckle is pressed against the sliding member, and the locking member is buckled with the belt buckle. When the locking mechanism is at the unlocking position, the locking member is separated from the belt buckle and pressed against the sliding member.

A buckle device including: a tongue plate; and a buckle main body configured to be engaged with the tongue plate, the buckle main body including: a cover having a tongue plate guide portion; a resin release button forming a tongue plate insertion port between the tongue plate guide portion and the release button; and a frame configured to slidably support the release button and having a bottom wall and a pair of side walls, wherein protruding portions protruding inward so as to overlap with the tongue plate inserted from the tongue plate insertion port are provided on end portions of the pair of side walls of the frame on the side of the tongue plate insertion port, respectively, and wherein the release button has a front wall and at least one extending portion extending from the front wall through a space between the protruding portions and the bottom wall.

An illuminated belt buckle for a seat belt device of a motor vehicle including a housing (1), a push button (2) displaceable in the housing (1), an insertion slot (12) delimited by an edge section (23) of the housing (1) and the push button (2) for insertion of a belt tongue that can be locked in the belt buckle, and at least one light-emitting surface (13,14). The light-emitting surface (13,14) having a linear contour, the shape of which matches the shaping of a laterally positioned edge side (24) of the push button (2) when viewed toward the insertion slot (12).

A belt buckle (1) for a seatbelt system including a spring-loaded lock mechanism (3) having a securing pin (2) for locking a belt tongue (5) inserted into a buckle housing (4), a pushbutton (7), a frame (6) which is displaceably guided on the buckle housing (4) under spring effect to impact upon the lock mechanism (3) for unlocking of the belt buckle (1). In the frame (6) a recess (9) including at least one contact region (8) is formed for guiding and/or retaining the securing pin (2) contacting the contact region (8) upon an actuation of the belt buckle (1). At least one contact region (8) of the recess (9) formed on the pushbutton (7) having a noise-damping element (10, 11) for reducing noise emission in the region where the securing pin (2) abuts against the pushbutton (7).

A device and system that can be used to assist actuation of a buckle release is disclosed. A device can comprise a first arm and a second arm joined by a U-shaped connecting portion. The device can also comprise a button contact feature. The device can be inserted over a buckle with the button contact feature over a buckle release button, and the device used to assist engagement of the buckle release button by a person operating the device. A system can comprise a device and various additional features or accessories.

A seatbelt buckle device includes a buckle switch (40) having a switch substrate (42) and a slider part (50) which slides on the switch substrate (42) and a frame (20) which has a substantially U-shaped section and slidably holds an ejector (30) which operates synchronously with attachment/detachment of a tongue plate (1). The buckle switch (40) and the frame (20) are assembled integrally with each other as the a leg part (43) as a rear end of the switch substrate (42) is fixed to a side wall (22A) of the frame (20) through a switch substrate housing (45) and thus supported by the frame (20).

A seatbelt buckle device includes a housing, a frame, a latching arrangement and a release button. The frame is disposed in the housing, fixed in position in the housing and includes a bottom wall and first and second laterally spaced walls. The latching arrangement is operatively associated with the frame for selectively retaining a latch plate within the housing. The release button is in sliding engagement with the frame and movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The release button includes a proximal end, a distal end and a first and second laterally spaced apart legs extending between the proximal and distal ends. The proximal end, the distal end and the first and second laterally spaced apart legs cooperate to define an opening into which a projecting portion distally from the proximal end. At least one shield member laterally extends from the projection portion toward the first and second laterally spaced apart legs. Each shield member includes an outboard side spaced from an adjacent leg of the first and second legs by a gap. Each gap slidingly receives one of the first and second laterally spaced walls of the frame.

In a cover of a buckle device, an engagement hook of a side wall of an upper cover is fit together with an engagement groove of a side wall of a lower cover to assemble the upper cover to the lower cover. When the side wall of the upper cover receives an external force, a holder of a buckle switch is sandwiched between a side plate of a buckle body and a rib of the lower cover such that the side plate receives the external force. Accordingly, the rigidity at the engagement hook of the cover is able to be increased.

A device and system that can be used to assist actuation of a buckle release is disclosed. A device can include a first arm and a second arm joined by a U-shaped connecting portion. The device can also include a button contact feature. The device can be inserted over a buckle with the button contact feature over a buckle release button, and the device used to assist engagement of the buckle release button by a person operating the device. A system can include a device and various additional features or accessories.

A belt buckle for a vehicle seat belt. The belt buckle includes a frame in which at least one locking element adapted to lock a plug-in tongue insertable into the belt buckle and an ejection element adapted to eject the plug-in tongue are provided. Each of the ejection element and the locking element is adapted to adopt a locked position and a home position. The locking element is adjacent to a web of the ejection element in the home position and thus blocked in its home position. The front end of the web has a ramp-like bearing surface against which the locking element slidingly engages.
