A system includes a vehicle body and a seatbelt assembly attached to the vehicle body. The seatbelt assembly includes a webbing and a tongue slidably engaged with the webbing. A pocket is fixed to the webbing. The pocket and the webbing define a cavity therebetween. A magnet is disposed in the cavity and is engageable with the tongue. The magnet is fixed to the webbing.

A seatbelt latch plate assembly includes a latch plate, a D-ring, and a pivot stop. The D-ring is pivotably connected to the latch plate. The pivot stop is disposed between and rotatably fixes the latch plate to the D-ring. The pivot stop includes a deformable element. The deformable element is deformable at a predetermined pivot torque between the D-ring and the plate.

A locking tongue for a seat belt has a deflecting portion for a webbing. The deflecting portion includes a webbing passage and a clamping element. The clamping element is displaceable between a home position in which the webbing is freely movable and a blocking position in which the clamping element is displaced against a wall of the webbing passage so that the webbing is clamped between the clamping element and the wall of the webbing passage. The clamping element includes a clamping surface which in the blocking position clamps the webbing against the wall of the webbing passage. The clamping element is guided along a curved guide path extending in an area of the blocking position substantially perpendicularly to the wall so that in the blocking position the clamping element is moved against the wall substantially perpendicularly with the clamping surface.

A seat belt buckle tongue (1) with a tongue body (3) extending in the direction of plug-in (2), in which a strap slot (4) is formed for the passage of a strap (5), and a deflection element (6) movably the tongue body (3), The strap (5), in an unloaded passage position of the deflection element (6), is movable through the strap slot (4), and is at least prevented from moving by the deflection element (6) in the loading position of the deflection element (6) induced by a tensile force to the strap (5). The deflection element (6) is movable from the passage position into the loading position with a constriction portion (18) along the contact surface (19) of the tongue body (3), so that the strap (5) in the loading position with a strap portion is flat in contact with both the contact surface (19) of the tongue body (3) and with the constriction portion (18) of the deflection element (6). In the loading position, the tongue body (3) engages with a region having the contact surface (19), through at least the portion of the deflection element (6).

A seat-belt tongue includes a plate having a longitudinal portion that is insertable into a buckle, and a broader portion that is located on an opposite side of a tip end of the longitudinal portion and is formed wider than the longitudinal portion, wherein the broader portion has a base that is connected to the longitudinal portion, a beam that extends in a long-side direction of the broader portion, a connecting portion that connects the base and the beam at each end in the long-side direction, and a through hole that is formed by the base, the beam, and the connecting portion and through which a seat belt is inserted, and the beam or the base is formed such that a cross-sectional area of the beam or the base when viewed in the long-side direction becomes smaller at both ends than at a center in the long-side direction.

A vehicle seatbelt assembly includes a first member, a second member, a buckle mechanism, and a clutch mechanism. The first member is configured to attach to one of a vehicle floor structure and a seat structure. The second member is supported on the first member. The second member is configured for limited sliding movement relative to the first member. The buckle mechanism is attached to the second member for movement therewith. The buckle mechanism has a latch device configured to releaseably retain a seatbelt latch tongue member. The clutch mechanism is disposed between the first member and the second member and is operable to switch between a dis-engaged state and an engaged state. In the dis-engaged state, the clutch mechanism allows movement of the second member relative to the first member. In the engaged state, the clutch mechanism prevents movement of the second member relative to the first member.

A harness system is provided and includes an upper buckle, an upper strap and a restraining assembly. The upper strap includes shoulder portion and a waist portion divided by the upper buckle. A through slot is formed on the upper buckle. The restraining assembly includes an anti-sliding structure, a beam structure disposed on the upper buckle and a stopping component. The through slot includes a first portion and a second portion divided by the beam structure and respectively adjacent to the shoulder portion and the waist portion. The upper strap passes through the first portion of the through slot from bottom to top and passes through the second portion of the through slot from top to bottom. The stopping component is detachably disposed on the shoulder portion and configured to abut against the upper buckle for restraining a sliding movement of the upper buckle relative to the upper strap.

A multi-point seat belt assembly has a buckle assembly, two webbing-locking mechanisms, two main webbings, and at least one retractor. The buckle assembly has a buckle member and a tongue member detachably inserted into the buckle member. The webbing-locking mechanisms are mounted on the buckle assembly, and each webbing-locking mechanism has a connecting member and a movable member mounted moveably on the connecting member. The connecting members of the two webbing-locking mechanisms are connected respectively with the buckle member and the tongue member. The main webbings are mounted respectively through the webbing-locking mechanisms and each main webbing has an end. The at least one retractor is connected with the ends of the two main webbings.

A latch plate for a vehicle safety belt includes a latch plate tongue element and a grip element. The grip element includes a gripping portion that is held on a plane that is offset from a plane defined by the latch plate tongue element. The gripping portion plane may be parallel to the plane defined by the latch plate tongue element. The gripping portion may be held at a plane defining an included angle to a plane defined by an associated safety belt webbing element when the latch plate tongue element is secured to a safety belt buckle element.

According to one embodiment, an occupant restraining apparatus includes a webbing W, a tongue 4, an airbag 20 provided along the webbing W, a bag cover 40 surrounding the airbag 20, and a webbing guide 30 through which the webbing W is passed. The webbing guide 30 extends continuously from one end to the other end of the bag cover 40. The lower end of the bag cover 40 surrounds the lower end of the webbing guide 30, and the lower end of the bag cover 40 and the lower end of the webbing guide 30 are bound together. The upper end of the bag cover 40 surrounds the upper end of the webbing guide 30, and the upper end of the bag cover 40 and the upper end of the webbing guide 30 are bound together.
