Passenger safety belt buckles are disclosed. In embodiments, a safety belt buckle includes a base member and a release member coupled to the base member. The release member is configured to release a tongue held between the release member and the base member when the release member is pulled away from the base member. In an example embodiment, the release member is formed by a plurality of printed device layers and a metal coating disposed over the plurality of printed device layers. In another example embodiment, the release member is formed by a plurality of printed metal layers. In yet another example embodiment, the release member includes a recess with an in-mold feature disposed within the recess.

A safety belt latch structure includes a base, a locking hook member, a positioning shaft, and a press switch. The locking hook member is provided with a first locking portion. The press switch includes a push knob, a covering member, and an elastic member. The push knob has a pressing portion, a resting portion, a depression, and a second locking portion. The first locking portion is locked with the second locking portion, and received in the depression. Thus, the user only needs to press the push knob to unlock the locking hook member and to release the safety belt latch structure, such that the safety belt is released quickly. In addition, the press switch is surrounded by the base, such that the push knob will not be contacted due to impact, thereby preventing the locking hook member from being unlocked from the press switch.

A strap-fastening apparatus for fastening safety straps is provided, wherein the strap-fastening apparatus has at least one fastening rail and at least one fastening clip. The at least one fastening clip has a strap-fastening element and the strap-fastening element, in a state of the at least one fastening clip arranged with the at least one fastening rail, is arranged within the at least one fastening rail.

In this buckle device, a base end portion of a belt is folded back on itself to form a ring-shaped portion, and the belt is wound onto a spool in a state in which the ring-shaped portion of the belt has been inserted through an insertion hole in the spool. This enables a winding radius of the belt to be increased by the base end portion of the belt and enables a load at which the belt is permitted to be pulled out to be reduced, when the belt is pulled out from the spool.

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 seat belt locking buckle may include a locking buckle and a buckle clip. The locking buckle has a connecting hole at one end to be inserted by the buckle clip; the locking buckle is pivotally connected to a pulling member which is adapted to engage with and secure the buckle clip, and the buckle clip comprises a first penetrated portion at one end, and an elongated tongue portion at the other end to form a horizontal T-shape. Two sides of the tongue are non-parallel to form two sloping edges respectively, and two sloping edges taper gradually from the first penetrated portion toward the end of the tongue to form the tongue in tapered shape, and a hook hole is formed on the narrow end of the tongue to fasten the pulling member thereon.

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.

In a clasp (1), a male member (2) has a columnar insertion portion (23) and a female member (4) has a cylindrical housing portion (43). The clasp (1) has magnets which attract the insertion portion (23) into the housing portion (43). A male engagement body (3) is provided on an outer peripheral surface (23a) of the insertion portion (23) of the male member (2) while a female engagement body (5) is provided on an inner peripheral surface (43a) of the housing portion (43) of the female member (4). The male engagement body (3) and/or the female engagement body (5) is provided as a long protruding edge structure or a long recessed notch structure along the axis of the clasp (1), has a guiding portion (53), and also has a retaining portion (52) which prevents the insertion portion (23) from getting out of the housing portion (43).

A seat belt assembly, a garnish to cover a vehicular pillar and a method of making a vehicular pillar garnish. The garnish used in the assembly cooperates with a belt with a connected latch such that when the latch is disengaged from a corresponding seat belt buckle, a latch-receiving structure with a recessed portion formed in the garnish prevents contact with latch such that vibratory movement imparted to the disengaged latch as a result of vehicular movement does not result in the latch knocking or banging against the garnish. The recessed portion includes more than one region that may be used to provide extra functionality to the garnish, such as one or more of temporary storage for a portable electronic device and seat belt rerouting.
