Abstract
To provide a buckle switch and buckle device wherein a first switch section and a second switch section are unitized to provide improved assembling workability and increased production efficiency. As a tongue plate is inserted to a buckle body to move a slider, a pressing segmentof the slider rotates a leaf springin a direction a and, hence, a depressible portionis depressed to cause a movable memberto move in a direction X. At this time, a stationary contactmoves into and is pinched by pinch membersof a movable contactdisposed on the movable member, rendering the switch section SWto assume a conductive state. Concurrently, since a magnet Mis placed in opposition to a magnetic detecting element, a second switch section SWis switched over. By unitizing the first and second switch sections, assembling workability of a buckle switchto the buckle body can be improved, enabling an increase in production efficiency.
