  • Patent number: 4555832
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a buckle assembly suitable for use in a vehicle seat belt. The buckle assembly includes a clinched anchor block fixed on a wire and having an interlocking portion projecting downwardly therefrom, a buckle base having a bottom wall defining a matching interlocking portion, which is in engagement with the interlocking portion of the anchor block, and a pair of side walls extending downwardly from the bottom wall. The anchor block is connected directly to both of the side walls of the buckle base. The interlocking portion of the anchor block is press-fit in the matching interlocking portion in the bottom wall of the buckle base. The clinch force of the anchor block against the wire is thus not reduced by the fixing work of the anchor block to the buckle base.

  • Patent number: 4520538
    Abstract: A buckle assembly which comprises a clinched anchor block fixedly connected to a wire and provided with a first interlocking portion at an upper part and a second interlocking portion at a lower part, a buckle base having at least one bottom wall provided with an interlocking portion which is staked with the second interlocking portion, and a support member held on the buckle base and engageable with the first interlocking portion. Owing to the adoption of the above structure, the buckle assembly according to this invention is generally flat and can withstand relatively great loads.

  • Patent number: 4482102
    Abstract: The specification describes a webbing-locking mechanism suitable for use in vehicle seat belt. The mechanism includes a guide roller, a ratchet gear rotatable integrally with the guide roller, a ratchet lever capable of assuming either engagement position where the ratchet lever is in complete engagement with the ratchet gear or non-engagement position where the ratchet gear is allowed to undergo free rotation, and a pawl capable of assuming either a first position where the pawl is in engagement with the guide roller or a second position where the pawl is out of engagement with the guide roller. When a tensile force of a predetermined value or greater is applied to the webbing, the ratchet lever is brought into engagement with the ratchet gear. When the guide roller has been turned further and the ratchet lever has been moved to the engagement position, the pawl is caused to move to the first position.

  • Patent number: 4482103
    Abstract: The specification describes a webbing-locking mechanism suitable for use in a vehicle. The webbing-locking mechanism includes a guide roller allowing a webbing, which is fastened at one end thereof to a take-up reel, to extend over a predetermined length of the circumference of the guide roller. It further comprises a locking member capable of assuming either first position to permit free rotation of the guide roller or second position to inhibit any rotation of the guide roller; and guide means adapted to guide the locking member from the first position to the second position when a tensile force of a predetermined value or greater has been applied to the webbing and from the second position to the first position when the tensile force has been released. Since the movement of the locking member is controlled by the guide means, the structure of the above webbing-locking mechanism has been simplified around the locking member. This permits easier assembly work of webbing-locking mechanisms.
