Abstract
A buckle apparatus employed in a seatbelt system for a vehicle is engaged with a tongue plate attached to one end portion of an occupant restraining webbing. The apparatus includes a pair of plate-like buckle bodies which are disposed substantially parallel to each other so that it is possible for a plurality of tongue plates to be inserted into the space defined between the pair of buckle bodies. The tongue plates are engageable with respective lock plates mounted on the buckle bodies. An engagement projection which projects from one of the buckle bodies is received in an engagement recess formed in the other buckle body, whereby the movement of the relative positions of the buckle bodies is limited. The plurality of lock plates are simultaneously disengaged from the respective tongue plates by actuating a single pushbutton, thereby allowing the tongue plates to be pulled out of the buckle bodies.
