Abstract
A buckle for a seat belt of a motor vehicle includes a release button (24) which is provided to release the latch plate from the locking means. A resilient protrusion or protrusions on the button presses the latch plate, when inserted in the buckle, against the frame of the buckle thereby reducing the tendency of the latch plate and frame to rattle against each other and consequently the noise generated by vibration of the buckle is reduced.
