Abstract: The present invention relates to a belt buckle (10) for a length-adjustable aircraft safety belt, wherein the belt buckle (10) comprises: a main body (12) which defines a receiving space (20); a holder (14) for attaching a belt strap (16) of an aircraft safety belt; and a locking device (18) for latching a buckle tongue on the main body (12) for closing the aircraft safety belt, wherein the main body (12) comprises a base plate (40) and side cheeks (42) projecting therefrom at two opposite sides, wherein the base plate (40) forms a substantially plane base surface (44), and wherein the holder (14) is mounted on the side cheeks (42) in a movable manner and a clamping edge (38) of the base plate (40) facing the holder (14) projects from the base surface (44) in the direction of the holder (14), so that the holder (14) is drawn to the clamping edge (38) when a tensile load is applied to the belt strap (16) and the belt strap (16) is clamped between the clamping edge (38) and the holder (14), so that a lengt

Abstract: A quick release buckle assembly having a housing, two cams, a knurl bar, and two springs. Each spring is operatively arranged to engage both a respective cam and the knurl bar. The housing includes integral bearing walls for the cams.

Abstract: A latch mechanism for retaining a sunroof closure panel in a vehicle body roof opening includes a pin projecting from the closure panel and received within a bore of a receptacle mounted on the vehicle body. The pin is bifurcated by a central slot defining a pair of legs. A latch lever is pivoted within a transverse bore in the receptacle and carries a cam member which is received within the slot of the pin and straddled by the legs when the closure panel is lowered into its closed position. Rotation of the latch lever and the cam member forcibly spreads the pin legs into engagement with the bore of the receptacle to latch the sunroof closure panel in the closed position. The pin slot and the cam member may have mating tapers by which an adjustment of the transverse position of the cam member will adjust the extent of forcible spread of the legs to adjust for wear and for manufacturing or assembly variations.
