A method of installing a seat belt buckle that includes inserting the seat belt buckle into a rear end of a seat belt opening, such that an engagement slot of the seat belt buckle faces a front end of the seat belt opening. The method further includes engaging the engagement slot of the seat belt buckle with a seat belt tongue of a seat belt buckle installation jig and translating the seat belt buckle from an embedded position within the seat belt opening to an extended position with the seat belt buckle installation jig, wherein the seat belt buckle is nearer to the rear end of the seat belt opening in the embedded position than in the extended position. The seat belt buckle installation jig comprises a body comprising a first distal end and a second distal end, and the seat belt tongue is coupled to the first distal end.

An insert for repositioning at least one of the harness straps of a child safety seat in order to accommodate an occupant smaller than the harness is configured to accommodate, wherein the insert is adapted to locate between the child safety seat and the occupant and includes a pair of waist strap guides, each waist strap guide configured to allow a waist strap of the harness to extend through and exit the waist strap guide at a position narrower than where the waist strap exits the child safety seat.

A magnetic buckle assembly includes first buckle component, a second buckle component for mating with the first buckle component, a switch movably disposed on the second buckle component, an operating component slidably disposed on the second buckle component and for driving the switch to move. The first magnetic component, a first magnetic component disposed on the first buckle component, a second magnetic component disposed on the switch and for magnetically attracting or repelling the first magnetic component, and a latch movably disposed on the second buckle component and for engaging with the first buckle component. The latch moves along with sliding movement of the operating component. The operating component drives the switch to move to change a direction of a magnetic force of the second magnetic component acting on the first magnetic component when the operating component is operated to slide to disengage the latch from the first buckle component.

A buckle device capable of displaying a locked state includes a main body unit, a latch unit, a fastening unit, an electromagnetic unit, and a control unit. The main body unit includes a main body and the latch unit includes a detachable tongue element. The fastening unit includes a bolt body interfering with the tongue element. The electromagnetic unit includes an electromagnetic module and an electromagnetic rod. The electromagnetic module controls the electromagnetic rod to interfere with the bolt body. The control unit includes a control module, a display module and a magnetic rod detection module for detecting the position of the electromagnetic rod. The control unit receives detection information of the magnetic bolt detection module and controls the display module to display a current state according to the position of the at least one electromagnetic rod.

A buckle has a buckle mechanism with a lock pawl and a latch pin. The latch pin is designed to travel only in a longitudinal or horizontal direction relative to the buckle mechanism. When a latch plate assembly is secured, the latch pin holds the lock pawl in a latched position and prevents accidental release of the latch plate assembly. A release button is coupled to the latch plate retention bar so that all of the effective actuation and other motions are in the longitudinal direction of the buckle mechanism. The buckle mechanism has an ejector mechanism with an ejection spring for ejecting the latch plate assembly.

A seat buckle support includes a base having a thin profile with a width and a length each substantially greater than a depth. The base further includes an inner edge defining an opening. An elongated neck made of a flexible and resilient material includes a proximal end extending from an upper surface of the base. The elongated neck includes a bend adjacent the distal end which disposes the elongated neck at an angle relative to the upper surface. The inner surface of the elongated neck defines a channel running from the distal end to the proximal end. An entrance to the channel aligns with the opening at the upper surface. A seat buckle strap fits through the opening and the channel so that the elongated neck supports the buckle away from the car seat, preventing an individual from sitting on the buckle.

A magnetic buckle assembly includes a first buckle component, a second buckle component, a switch, an operating component, a first magnetic component, a second magnetic component and a latch. The switch is movably disposed on the second buckle component. The operating component is linked to the switch. The first magnetic component is disposed on the first buckle component. The second magnetic component is disposed on the switch. The latch is movably disposed on the second buckle component and for engaging with the first buckle component to prevent separation of the first buckle component and the second buckle component. The operating component drives the switch to move to change a direction of a magnetic force of the second magnetic component acting on the first magnetic component when the operating component is operated to disengage the latch from the first buckle component.
