Abstract

An emergency buckle device used in a seatbelt system wherein the outer end of an occupant restraining webbing is engaged with a door, whereby the intermediate portion of the webbing is adapted to approach or recede from the seated occupant in accordance with the closing or opening action of the door so as to automatically fasten the webbing to or unfasten same from the occupant. A tonque plate secured to the outer end of the webbing is inserted into a main body of the buckle, where said tongue plate is held in a clamp like manner between a lock pin and a release pin. When the tongue plate is to be inserted, the lock pin is separated from the release pin to form therebetween a path for receiving the tongue plate, and, when the tongue plate is to be extracted, the release pin is separated from the lock pin to form therebetween a path for allowing the tongue plate to escape therethrough, so that the device as a whole can be rendered compact in size and an anchor point for the outer end of the webbing can be disposed comparatively backwardly in the vehicle.
