Abstract

PURPOSE:To check any contact between a base end part and a rising part and thereby to keep off the occurrence of noise volume by making up a pair of rising parts in a buckle setting bracket, and forming a rib to be interposed between these rising parts and the base end part of a seat belt buckle on the backside of a seat belt buckle cover. CONSTITUTION:A seat belt buckle 1 is composed of an anchor part 3 consisting of a buckle body 2 and a base end. And this anchor part 3 is secured to a buckle setting bracket 4 in which a pair of rising parts 6 are formed at both sides of the anchor part 3, and on the other hand, each rib 9 to be engaged with these rising parts 6 are installed on the backside of a seat belt buckle cover 8. When the seat belt buckle cover 8 is attached tight to the setting bracket 4, any contact between the anchor part 3 and the rising parts 6 is checked because the ribs 9 lie between then. Therefore, even if the anchor part 3 moves to some extent, any noise volume will in no case be produced at all.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a seat belt buckle, which is composed of a buckle body 2 and a metal anchor portion 3 serving as a base end portion.
Is fixed to a metal buckle mounting bracket 4 mounted on a seat cushion (not shown) via bolts 5. The buckle mounting bracket 4 has a pair of cut-and-raised portions 6 for preventing the seat belt buckle 1 from rotating in the front-rear direction, on both sides of the metal anchor portion 3 of the seat belt buckle 1, and a seat belt described later. A predetermined number of mounting holes 7 for fastening the buckle cover are provided.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a seat belt buckle cover made of synthetic resin, which covers the anchor portion 3 of the seat belt buckle 1. The seat belt buckle cover 8 has a pair of ribs 9 that engage with the inside of the cut-and-raised portion 6 on the inner lid.
Are provided to face each other. The flange portion of the seat belt buckle cover 8 is provided with a predetermined number (three places in the illustrated example) of claw portions 10 that engage with the mounting holes 7 and fasten the seat belt buckle cover 8.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which the rib 11 is L-shaped, and FIG. 3 is an embodiment in which the rib 12 is oval.

According to the above structure, in order to attach the seat belt buckle cover 8, the rib 9 of the seat belt buckle cover 8 is engaged with the inside of the cut-and-raised portion 6 of the buckle mounting bracket 4, and the claw portion 10 is attached. Mounting hole 7

Since the rib 9 is thus provided inside the cut-and-raised portion 6 of the buckle mounting bracket 4, even if the anchor portion 3 of the seat belt buckle 1 rotates back and forth,
Since the anchor portion 3 is locked to the cut-and-raised portion 6 via the rib 9, abnormal noise such as chattering noise does not occur. Moreover, since the load applied to the seat belt buckle 1 is received by the cut-and-raised portion 6, the seat belt buckle cover 8 does not move or come off. When the seat belt buckle cover 8 is assembled, the rib 9 is guided by the cut-and-raised portion 6, so that the positioning becomes easy and the assembling property is improved.

Next, in the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the rib 1
Since 1 is L-shaped, the longitudinal direction 11a, that is, the longitudinal direction portion hits the inside of the cut-and-raised portion 6 to prevent abnormal sound from being generated, and the lateral direction 11b portion cut-and-raised portion 6 is formed.
It is locked at the tip of and serves as a positioning device. Also in this embodiment, since both sides of the anchor portion 3 of the seat belt buckle 1 are locked via the ribs 11, no abnormal noise is generated.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the oval rib 12 covers the entire cut-and-raised portion 6 of the buckle mounting bracket 4. In this way, it is possible to perform positioning for abnormal noise countermeasures and assembly.

FIGS. 4 to 7 show another embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the seat belt buckle cover 8 is provided with a pair of arms 13 facing each other on the back surface thereof. Engaging recesses 14 are formed on the opposing surfaces of 13. On the other hand, the cut-and-raised portion 15 of the buckle mounting bracket 4 is cut-and-raised so that a cut-out portion 17 is formed at an inner edge portion of the cut-and-raised hole 16, and the engagement recess 14 is formed in the cut-out portion 17. Are engaged, the arm 13 is attached, and the seat belt buckle cover 8 is attached to the buckle attachment bracket 4.

In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the arm 13 is inserted into the cut-and-raised hole 16 of the buckle mounting bracket 4, and the engaging recess 14 is engaged with the notch 17.
In this way, the seat belt buckle cover 8 can be operated by one operation.
Can be attached to the buckle mounting bracket 4.

[0019]

As described above, according to the seat belt buckle cover mounting structure of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. The mounting structure of a seat belt buckle cover for covering a base end portion of a seat belt buckle mounted on a buckle mounting bracket according to claim 1, wherein a pair of cut-and-raised parts are sandwiched between the buckle mounting bracket with the base end portion of the seat belt buckle interposed therebetween. Forming a part,
Since a rib interposed between the cut-and-raised portion and the base end portion of the seat belt buckle is formed on the back surface of the seat belt buckle cover, contact between the base end portion of the seat belt buckle and the cut-and-raised portion of the buckle mounting bracket is made. It is possible to prevent the generation of abnormal sound. The mounting structure of a seat belt buckle cover for covering a base end portion of a seat belt buckle mounted on a buckle mounting bracket according to claim 2, wherein a pair of cut-and-raised portions sandwich the base end portion of the seat belt buckle in the buckle mounting bracket.
