Definitions

  • This invention relates to a buckle for safety belts which can restrain the movement of a web in two directions.
  • the buckle systems comprise members for adjusting the length of the webbing, which are frequently objected to because they are efficiently locked in only one direction. Now cases may arise wherein it may be desirable to lock the device against release in both directions.
  • the present invention provides improvements in safety belts or harnesses of this type which consist notably in forming a double loop in the webbing and in addition to providing on the locking member a surface having a certain roughness, for instance by knurling, milling, etc.
  • buckle means of this invention it can pivot and to this end the buckle associated with the bolt plate is divided into two parts, one carrying the device for adjusting the length of the webbing and the other constituting the bolt plate proper. These two parts are assembled through a pivot pin or through permanent swivel means.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective View showing the buckle assembly
  • FIGURE 2 is a detail View showing the locking pin
  • FIGURE 3 is a side elevational view, with parts broken away, of the complete pivotal assembly.
  • FIGURES 4 and 5 are sections taken upon the lines IV-IV and V-V of FIG. 3 respectively.
  • the pivotal mounting comprises a buckle 1 consisting of two sheet-metal blanks pressed, bent and welded together along their registering inner at faces 2 in order to constitute on one side a strap 3 on which a bolt 4 is pivotally connected by means of a pin or rivet 5, and on the other side two parallel flanges 6 adapted to receive therebetween the two sides of the retaining webbing 7.
  • the flat intermediate portions 2 exist only at the two lateral ends of the buckle in order to provide a central inner recess (FIGURE 3) in which a knurled cylindrical pin 8 is adapted to move by sliding along said lateral portions 2 by means of slotted ends 9.
  • the cavity 10 in the intermediate portion 2 is so dimensioned that the webbings 7 pass through the lianges 6 and over the pin 8.
  • the inner lower contours 61 of said flanges 6 are rounded to avoid damaging the webbing 7.
  • the webbing 7 can slide to permit the desired adjustment.
  • a safety belt buckle assembly comprising a pair of blanks, said blanks having each a central coinciding recess formed by longitudinal sides, said blanks being secured together at their longitudinal sides, the lateral sides of each blank at one end of said buckle being spaced apart to form a slot, said slot communicating with said coinciding recesses, a sliding pin in said coinciding recesses having its ends slotted to extend externally of said blanks for manual manipulation, said slot permitting the passage of two plies of a web which passes over said sliding pin whereby a manual movement of said pin towards said slot causes a twofold wedging of said web between said pin and each edge of said slot to prevent movement of said web in any direction.
  • each slotted end of said pin provides spaced abutments which slide upon said blanks at opposite sides of said recess.
