  • Seatbelt buckle with shock-proof device
    Patent number: 8375531
    Abstract: A shockproof device installed to a seatbelt buckle, which is provided in an automobile, airplane, etc, fastened around a seat to keep a passenger safely secured, is installed behind a release button and lock pin, to prevent the release button from being unexpectedly released when the release button is moved in a non-release direction. Even when the release button and lock pin are moved in a release direction, on the basis of a rotation angular velocity of the inertia lever rather than a rotation torque thereof, surface contact between the lock pin and the inertia lever is accomplished and simultaneously, owing to an anti-rotation configuration thereof, the inertia lever reliably prevents unexpected disengagement between the tongue plate and the buckle under the influence of any magnitude of inertial force.
