This buckle, which is particularly for automobile safety belts and is intended to fix in a movable manner a side thereof to a fixed point in the body of the vehicle, comprising a hook assembly and a bolt (19) which is connected to the side to be fixed, with the hook assembly comprising, housed in a housing (1), a body (4) intended to be fixed to a holding means which is connected to the vehicle and which defines a passage and a sliding plane for said bolt, means for locking the bolt in the buckle, means for releasing the bolt and means for ejection thereof, is characterized in that the locking means are composed of a part (17) projecting from the body (4) extending into said passage, intended to be engaged into a cavity (20) of the bolt (19), in the locked position, and in that holding means (7) are provided for holding the bolt (19) in the locked position on said projecting part (17) of body (4).

Safety belt buckle, particularly for automobiles

Storage device for a drive band, particularly of a passive safety belt for a motor vehicle, the said drive band (2) passing over a drive member (3) actuated by an electric motor (4), characterized in that it is formed by a cassette (7) containing the said drive member (3) of the band, in which cassette is provided a guide passage (13) for the band (2) rolling up on itself from the periphery of the cassette (7).

This anchoring device, in which a maintaining member is disposed between a guiding rail (5) and a device for driving a slidable unit including a tongue, comprises a case (25) having a front side (26) in which is provided a slot (27) through which the tongue projects and of which the edges define two bearing surfaces adapted to cooperate with the tongue so as to withstand tensile forces exerted on the tongue. This device further comprises a device (32) for locking the slidable unit in an active position, adapted to prevent the displacement of the unit in a direction parallel to the guiding and retaining rail (5). This locking device comprises at least one locking element (33, 34) disposed in a cavity (35, 36) provided in the front side (36) of the case, the or each locking element being mounted to be movable between a retracted position, allowing the insertion or the withdrawal of the tongue from the active position, and a locking position in which the active parts of this locking element cooperate with complementary parts of the tongue and with the cavity for retaining the tongue in the active position.
