Abstract
A seatbelt locking device for a seatbelt system in a vehicle including a receiving member provided on a base, a pressing member pivotally supported adjacent the receiving member, an intermediate portion of the seatbelt extending between the receiving member and the pressing member and engaging with one end of the pressing member so that the intermediate portion of the seatbelt is pressed against the receiving member by the pressing member when the tension on the seatbelt exceeds some predetermined amount and a shock-absorbing member interposed between the receiving member and the base whereby deformation of the shock-absorbing member causes the receiving member to face in a direction from which the pressing force from the pressing member is received, thereby clamping a broad area of seatbelt between the receiving member and the pressing member.
