Abstract: A shell element for the buckle cover of a seat belt buckle is disclosed. The shell element comprises a base body made of a hard elastomer and an outer and an inner surface. So that when the buckle cover bears against a further vehicle element with a hard surface, no wear and no undesirable noise is generated and so that the seat belt buckle permanently has attractive visual and haptic properties, a further element made of a soft elastomer is directly connected to the base body and is connected thereto by a material and/or positive connection, said further element forming at least one part of the outer surface of the shell element.

Abstract: What is described is a buckle cap for a belt buckle having two interconnected half-shells (10, 20) and connecting units which connect both half-shells (10, 20) to one another. Each connecting unit comprises at least one hole in each half-shell (10, 20) and a connecting pin (30) which is ribbed at least in certain sections, wherein one section of the connecting pin (30) is situated in the hole of the first connecting unit (10) and a second section of the connecting pin (30) is situated in the hole of the second half-shell (20). In order to achieve an easy mounting capability the hole in the first half-shell (10) is a through-hole (12) through which the connecting pin (30, 30?) extends completely, and the connecting pin (30, 30?) has a head (34, 34?) which is thickened with respect to the sections situated in the holes, said head adjoining the section of the connecting pin (30) which extends through the through-hole (12) and being situated outside the through-hole (12).
