Abstract
A buckle device for safety belts having a latch member pivotally mounted to a base member which serves as a load member and engageable with notches of a tongue member when the tongue is inserted into the base member so as to latch the base member and the tongue member together, resilient member for biasing the latch member in notches engaging direction, and a manually operable member for moving the latch member against the bias of the resilient member to unlatch the tongue member. Either of the latch member and the operable member has camming surfaces which engage engaging portions of the other of the above two members, whereby the sliding movement in the tongue insertion direction of the operable member is transformed to the substantially pivotal movement of the latch member.
