Definitions

  • the invention relates to a buckle for seat belts, with a swivel bolt that is in a load-bearing Frame is stored and in its locked position engages a locking edge of a tongue, a locking member, that on the frame transversely to the swivel direction of the swivel bolt between an open position in which there is the swivel bolt releases, and a locking position in which there is the swivel bolt blocked in its engaged position, movable is stored, a release button also mounted on the frame, by actuating the locking member in the open position is slidable, and a helical Compression spring with one end on the swivel bar and is supported with the other end on the locking member.
  • Such buckles for seat belts are because of their robust and simple mechanics, their high reliability and the low actuation forces even under load in use for many years.
  • Such a closure is shown for example in DE-A-33 37 508.
  • FIGs 1 and 2 is a fastener for seat belts shown, in which in a load-bearing frame 14th a pivot bolt 16 is mounted, which is in its locked position engages on a locking edge of a tongue 10.
  • a pivot bolt 16 in the Frame 14 is a locking member 20 transverse to the pivoting direction of the Swivel lock 16 between an open position in which it releases the swivel bolt, and a locked position stored in which there is the swivel bolt in its Intervention position blocked.
  • Frame 14 there is also one Release button 24 stored, the actuation of the locking member 20 is displaceable in its open position.
  • helical compression spring 30 is supported with one End on the pivot bolt 16 and with its other end 40th on the locking member 20 and is held in a spring receptacle, which is limited by two webs 50 of the frame 14 and comprises a pin 35 on the locking member 20.
  • the compression spring 30 acts on both the pivot bolt 16 in its open position and the locking member 20 in its locked position.
  • the compression spring 30 is defective be mounted so that they are not centered by the pin 35 becomes. It then leans on one next to the peg 35 lying section of the side facing the compression spring the locking member 20 from. A wrong assembly of this kind is in the manufacture of these closures is obviously undesirable, because through it the actual spring force of that prescribed value may differ.
  • Embodiment of the invention is the locking member side End 40 of the compression spring 30 with a flange larger diameter than their working turns.
  • This larger diameter of the spring end 40 is through at least one more, regarding the working turns the compression spring 30 after increased winding diameter kind of a lead turn that is how best in Fig. 4 can be seen, following the working turns final, depressed turn in the plane of this turn is formed.
  • This spiral-shaped, enlarged in diameter Winding is with almost adjacent turns up to such an outer diameter of the spring end 40 executed that in cooperation with the webs 50 of Frame 14 a positive centering of the spring end 40 in the Spring intake occurs. Through this compulsory centering the incorrect assembly of the spring end shown in Fig. 3 40 prevented in the spring mount.
