Definitions

  • the invention relates to a buckle for a seat belt according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a buckle is known from GB 1 406 864 A and comprises a latching mechanism which is disposed in a buckle housing and provided to latch onto a tongue which is connected to the safety belt, a slot-shaped aperture which allow insertion of the tongue into the latching mechanism, and a pushbutton with which the latching mechanism can be opened to release the tongue.
  • the slot-shaped aperture is disposed in not centered manner in the buckle housing and at a distance from the pushbutton.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a buckle of the kind initially specified, in which the buckle housing is reduced in size while maintaining the prescribed actuation width of the pushbutton, and specifically in which the thickness of the buckle housing is reduced.
  • the aperture for the tongue is spaced apart further at its one aperture end from one housing side defining the width of the buckle housing than the other aperture end is spaced apart from the opposite housing side defining the width of the buckle housing.
  • the width of the pushbutton may be 15 mm, as stipulated, thus providing a sufficiently large actuation area on the pushbutton for actuating the latter in order to release the tongue from the latching mechanism.
  • the buckle housing may be embodied in thinner form and have a thickness of approximately 20 mm to 24 mm. This makes it possible to provide a surface of approximately 4.5 cm 2 in pushbutton area.
  • the buckle housing advantageously has a uniform thickness across its entire width.
  • the aperture for the tongue may be formed by a peripheral recess in the pushbutton and an adjacent housing surface, or by a recess in the housing wall and an adjacent edge of the pushbutton.
  • an eyelet with which the safety belt is connected to the tongue may be advantageously disposed with an angle of twist relative to the side surfaces of the tongue.
  • a side surface of an eyelet member that includes the eyelet is oriented towards the surface region of the pushbutton where the aperture end is spaced further apart from the housing side defining the width of the housing.
  • the angle of twist is selected such that it matches the ergonomic path of the lap and shoulder belt.
  • the angle of twist is approximately 10°. This angle of twist is the angle between horizontal middle lines of the tongue and the eyelet.
  • a vertical middle line of the eyelet or eyelet member may also have an angle of inclination relative to a vertical middle line of the tongue, in order to obtain a better match with the ergonomic path of the lap and shoulder belt when worn.
  • the thickness of the buckle housing can be reduced by up to 10 mm, while the width of the buckle housing can be approximately 54 mm.
  • the embodiments shown in the Figures pertain to a buckle 1 for a safety belt, in particular a safety belt in a passenger vehicle.
  • the buckle has a buckle housing 2 in which there is disposed a latching mechanism like the one known from US patent 6,202,269 B1 or US patent 6,266,855 B1 , for example.
  • Buckle housing 2 may be formed of one or of several parts, or specifically of two parts.
  • On the top side of the buckle housing there is a pushbutton 4 and a slot-shaped aperture 5 for inserting a tongue 3 connected to the safety belt.
  • a latch in the latching mechanism engages in familiar manner with a latching aperture 15 in tongue 3. In the latched state, tongue 3 is held in the latched position against the force of an ejector spring.
  • the surface of pushbutton 4 is asymmetrical.
  • a widened actuation area 16 is created on the pushbutton surface above slot-shaped aperture 5.
  • This widened actuation area is achieved by slot-shaped aperture 5 being spaced apart further at its one aperture end 8 from a housing side 6 defining the width of the buckle housing 2 than the other aperture end 9 from the opposite housing side 7 defining the width of the buckle housing.
  • Actuation area 16, shown by hatching in Fig. 1 and having a width B conforming to regulations, is obtained as a result. Width B may be 15 mm. In the region of slot-shaped aperture 5, the width of the pushbutton surface is less.
  • a buckle housing 2 can be formed which has a thickness of approximately 20 mm to 24 mm and a width from housing side 6 to housing side 7 of approximately 54 mm. The thickness of buckle housing 2 is uniform across its entire width.
  • slot-shaped aperture 5 is formed by a recess in pushbutton 4 and an adjacent housing surface. To facilitate insertion of the tongue, the pushbutton surface is beveled towards aperture 5.
  • aperture 5 is disposed asymmetrically in a recess of the lateral housing wall, as in Figure 1 , and is defined by an edge region of pushbutton 4.
  • actuation area 16 is formed between aperture end 8 and housing side 6.
  • a guide surface for guiding fingers in the direction of actuation area 16 when actuating pushbutton 4 is formed an a side surface 14 when the tongue is inserted ( Fig. 2 ).
  • actuation area 16 shown by hatching an adjacent part of the pushbutton surface beside slot-shaped aperture 5 is also available for exerting pressure on pushbutton 4, as indicated in Fig. 2 by the slanting lines in actuation area 16.
  • eyelet member 13 may also have an angle of inclination relative to a vertical middle line of tongue 3, should this provide a better match, depending on the specific installation conditions, with the path of the shoulder belt, as can be seen from Figures 5 and 6 .
  • actuation area 16 produced on the top end of the buckle due to the asymmetrical arrangement of aperture 5 is disposed towards the rear, when viewed along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
  • the buckle is preferably installed laterally on the inner sides of the two front seats in the vehicle.
