Abstract
A safety belt buckle comprises a housing with an insertion path, a spring loaded ejector positioned in the insertion path, and a recess communicating with the insertion path. An insertion tongue with a cutout is insertable into the insertion path. A latch inside the housing locks the insertion tongue by engaging the cutout of the insertion tongue and the recess of the housing. A spring-loaded slide key is slidably connected to the housing and slidable in the direction transverse to a plane of movement of the latch. A spring-loaded slide key serves to release the latch. A compensation mass member is displaceably arranged within the housing for compensating acceleration forces acting on the safety belt buckle. A securing element is displaceably arranged within the housing such that the securing element secures the latch in its locking position and is movable into a release position by the slide key. The compensation mass member and the securing element are connected by a connecting rod arrangement with a scissor-type movement. The connecting rod arrangement is comprised of two connecting rods and a journal point at the housing. Due to the connecting rod arrangement, the compensation mass member and the securing element move in opposite directions relative to one another.
