Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A seat belt buckle for use by occupants of vehicles including first and second metal members, and first and second belts respectively attached to said first and second members, said buckle being the fastening member of a seat belt assembly.
  • the first member has a lip bent under the main portion of the first member and the second member has a lip bent over the main portion of the second member for mating with and engaging the lip of the first member.
  • Magnetic or spring means are provided to hold the respective lips of said first and second members together when there is a lack of tension on the respective belts, and the mating engagement of the lips of the first and second members insures that the seat belt buckle will remain linked together when the respective belts are placed under tension.
  • This invention relates to seat belt assemblies including a seat belt buckle for use by occupants of vehicles, and also to arrangements for adjusting the length of the belt used with the seat belt buckle.
  • the mechanism generally consists of a latching device which operates automatically when a tongue member having a slot at its front end is manually pushed into a buckle housing member, which housing member contains the latching device.
  • the tongue must be forced sufficiently deep within the housing member in order that the spring loaded latching member will engage the slot in the tongue so as to hold the seat belt buckle assembly closed.
  • the threading of the tongue into the housing member requires such precision that one must use two hands skillfully in order to close this device.
  • One type of unlatching mechanism consists of lifting a lever to unlatch the buckle, and in the other type of seat belt buckle, a button on the face of the buckle member is depressed to unlatch the buckle.
  • the lever lifting release mechanism isactivated when the lever is physically moved away from ones body, thus requiring an unobstructed area in which the arc, formed by the length and the movement of the lever, can be made. Therefore, if there is a serious accident, such that the space required for opening the seat belt buckle is obstructed, one would be unable to release himself, or be released, from the seat belt and thus from the car.
  • the button In the seat belt buckle containing the button release mechanism, the button is normally positioned below the face of the buckle so that one must place his finger on the button and press inward to disengage the buckle members. If one has a deformity such as arthritis in his fingers or is wearing gloves during cold weather, it can in fact become difficult to depress the button so as to disengage the buckle members.
  • a seat belt buckle for installation in a vehicle including first and second metal members, first and second belts respectively attached to said first and sec ond members, said first member having a lip bent under the main portion of said first member, said second member having a lip bent over the main portion of said second member for mating with and engaging the lip of said first member, at least one of said members including means for holding the respective lips of said first and second members together when there is a lack of tension exerted on the first and second belts, whereby the mating engagement of the lips of said first and second members insure that said seat belt buckle will remain engaged until the respective belts are placed under tension.
  • a feature of the invention provides that the lips of the respective first and second members form a J'shaped groove with the main portion of the respective first and second members.
  • Another feature of the invention provides that the main portions of the first and second members may be curved to simulate the contours of an occupants torso.
  • the holding means includes a formed spring having one end thereof fastened to at least one of said members, and the other end thereof positioned between the lip and main portion of said one member.
  • the holding means includes a permanent magnet attached to the main portion of at least one of said first and second members, and both of said first and second members being comprised of magnetically permeable material for matingly engaging and holding the lips of said first and second members together.
  • an arrangement for adjusting the length of a belt for use with a seat belt buckle comprising a member having an aperture formed therein, a roller positioned over the aperture, said belt passes through the aperture fitting around said roller and exiting through the aperture, and a housing placed and fastened over said roller and the aperture, said housing being internally structured to allow sufficient lateral movement of said roller and belt.
  • a feature of the other aspect of said invention provides that the internal structure of said housing consists of a pair of ribs positioned parallel and spaced apart from said roller and belt.
  • an arrangement for fastening a belt to a buckle member of a seat belt buc kle said buckle member including first and second parallel slots, said buckle member being bent along said second slot and forming a lip extending from a remaining portion of said member, said belt having a portion extending through said second slot, around the outer edge of said lip, through said first slot and again through said second slot, said lip being sufficiently bent towards the remaining portion of said member to lock the portions of said belt therebetween.
  • a method of fastening a belt to a buckle member ofa seat belt comprising the steps of bending said buckle member along said second slot to form a lip extending from the remaining portion of said member, passing said belt through said second slot, around the outer edge of said lip, through said first slot and again through said second slot, and pressing said lip sufficiently toward the remaining portion of said member to lock the portions of said belt therebetween.
