Abstract
A belt tongue () having a tongue body () extending in an insertion direction (), a clamping element () in the tongue body such that a belt strap () guided through a cavity () in the tongue body () and running through a gap () can be moved through the tongue body () in an unstressed free-running position and, in a stressed position brought about by a tensile force in the belt strap (), is clamped on a clamping edge () of the cavity () by the clamping element () that is pivotally mounted in the tongue body (). A pre-tensioning device exerts a retractive force on the clamping element (), at least in the stressed position, the force being oriented in the direction of the free-running position of the clamping element (). The pre-tensioning device is a torsion bar () that is non-rotatably secured in the tongue body () and non-rotatably connected to the clamping element ().
