Definitions
- the present invention relates to a seat belt buckle, in particular for racing vehicles, to which the following description refers purely by way of example, without losing generality.
- the various branches of the seat belt must immobilize the driver's shoulders, pelvis, and possibly also the legs, and may be connected to one another at a single point - normally located in front of the driver's torso, at the height of the pelvis - by a buckle, which is common to and provides for releasing all the branches of the seat belt simultaneously.
- the buckle comprises a casing housing a releasable coupling mechanism and defining five openings in which to insert and lock respective tabs, each fixed to the end of a respective branch of the seat belt.
- the buckle casing is also fitted with a manual release lever for releasing the coupling mechanism rapidly from all the tabs, and so enabling the driver, in an emergency, to free himself easily from the seat belt holding him in the driver's seat.
- the lever is shaped and sized to project from the buckle casing, but, when actually driving the vehicle, should be prevented from contacting and being accidentally rotated by the driver's legs, and so accidentally releasing the seat belt.
- the solution described in EP1514490 provides for a guard which fits over the end of the lever when this is in the rest position.
- the guard has a tab identical to those fitted to the branches of the seat belt, and which fits inside one of the five openings in the casing.
- a seat belt buckle in particular for racing vehicles, as defined in Claim 1.
- Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a seat belt buckle, in particular for racing vehicles.
- Buckle 1 comprises a casing 2, in turn comprising a front body 3 and a rear base 4 arranged one onto the other along an axis A and fixed one to the other, preferably by means of screws 6. More specifically, body 3 has a flat front face 8 perpendicular to axis A and comprising a projection 9.
- Casing 2 has a peripheral surface 10 provided with three openings defining respective inlets of a bottom slot 11 and of two top slots 12, which in use are engaged by respective tabs 15 (only one shown partly in Figure 2 ) fixed, in known manner not shown, to the ends of respective branches of a seat belt.
- Coupling mechanism 19 is connected to a lever 21, which is located, and preferably rests, on face 8, and is hinged to casing 2 so as to be rotatable manually about axis A from a rest position. As it rotates, lever 21 releases coupling mechanism 19 from all of tabs 15 simultaneously.
- the limit stops governing rotation of lever 21 are preferably defined by projection 9: for example, the rear face, not shown, of lever 21 has an arc-shaped groove engaged by projection 9.
- Lever 21 comprises a radial arm 22, which, when lever 21 is in the rest position, extends downwards in a vertical direction B and is located on a bottom portion 23 of casing 2.
- the outline or perimeter 24 of radial arm 22, viewed parallel to axis A preferably lies completely within the outline or perimeter 25 of bottom portion 23.
- radial arm 22 does not project from peripheral surface 10, thus preventing accidental release of coupling mechanism 19.
- Bottom portion 23 is elongated in direction B, and is lobe-shaped or triangular with a rounded vertex, when viewed parallel to axis A.
- the inlet of slot 11 is formed on a side 26 of base 4, and defines for respective tab 15 an insertion direction 28 which is non-radial with respect to axis A and directed towards the opposite side 27 of base 4.
- Bottom portion 23 is relatively narrow, so slot 11 is formed in a position which, in a direction parallel to axis A, is aligned with radial arm 22 when lever 21 is in the rest position.
- Cross member 29 faces a cross member 29, which is fixed with respect to casing 2 and serves to attach the end of another branch of the seat belt.
- cross member 29 and side 27 define an opening 31 in which to insert and loop said branch about cross member 29. Opening 31, the two slots 12 and slot 11 thus define four seat belt connection points.
- Cross member 29 is preferably formed in one piece with base 4.
- coupling mechanism 19 comprises three retaining pins 32, which are guided by respective seats 33 to slide, parallel to axis A, between a lowered position, in which they engage respective holes 34 in tabs 15 ( Figure 2 ) to retain tabs 15 inside respective slots 11, 12, and a raised position, in which tabs 15 are free to slide out.
- Retaining pins 32 are pushed into the lowered position by respective springs 35, and at their rear ends have respective inclined surfaces 36 facing the inlets of respective slots 11, 12. Inclined surfaces 36 serve to raise retaining pins 32 in opposition to springs 35, when tabs 15 are inserted forcefully inside respective slots 11, 12. Once the tabs are inserted, springs 35 click retaining pins 32 into holes 34 to lock tabs 15 in place.
- the seat 33 associated with slot 11 is located substantially in the centre of bottom portion 23, i.e. extends along an axis lying in a centreline plane defined by axis A and direction B.
- Coupling mechanism 19 also comprises a plate 38, which is guided inside cavity 17 and is translated axially by rotation of lever 21 and by the thrust exerted by a spring 39 interposed between plate 38 and body 3.
- lever 21 is fixed to a shaft 40, which extends along axis A, through body 3, and into cavity 17, and is connected to plate 38 by a cam and cam follower transmission 41 to lift plate 38 towards body 3 when lever 21 moves out of the rest position.
- plate 38 moves retaining pins 32 simultaneously into their raised positions to release holes 34.
- buckle 1 has no ejector devices, which means tabs 15 are not expelled from slots 11, 12 when holes 34 are released.
- buckle 1 is the tension exerted by the branch of the seat belt on cross member 29 that detaches buckle 1 from the other branches of the seat belt, and so extracts tabs 15 from respective slots 11, 12.
- seats 33 are formed in a wall 42 formed in one piece with base 4, and which defines the bottom of cavity 17 on one side, and a front face of slots 11, 12 on the other.
- slots 12 are formed in base 4, in a top portion 43, which is symmetrical with respect to said centreline plane, and is preferably shaped to form two lobes.
- buckle 1 The advantages of buckle 1 will be clear from the above description.
- the position of slot 11 and the presence of opening 31 greatly reduce the size of bottom portion 23 and therefore the weight of buckle 1.
- the three-lobed design of casing 2 also provides for reducing the material, and therefore weight, of top portion 43. And the action of the seat belt on bottom portion 23 is nevertheless balanced by virtue of the positions of cross member 29 and slot 11.
- bottom portion 23 obviously provides for permanently guarding radial arm 22 against accidental operation.
- buckle 1 has a relatively small number of component parts.
- buckle 1 in no way impair driving comfort, operation and safety of the seat belt, or the dependability of buckle 1 itself.
- top portion 43 may be shaped differently and/or the insertion directions of tabs 15 inside slots 11, 12 may differ slightly from those illustrated by way of example.

Description
- The present invention relates to a seat belt buckle, in particular for racing vehicles, to which the following description refers purely by way of example, without losing generality.
- As is known, automotive standards require that motor vehicles be equipped with seat belts connected directly or indirectly to the vehicle body, at so-called anchoring points, to hold the driver in the driver's seat in the event of a crash.
- In racing vehicles, the various branches of the seat belt must immobilize the driver's shoulders, pelvis, and possibly also the legs, and may be connected to one another at a single point - normally located in front of the driver's torso, at the height of the pelvis - by a buckle, which is common to and provides for releasing all the branches of the seat belt simultaneously.
- In the solution described in
EP1514490 , which corresponds to the preamble in Claim 1, the buckle comprises a casing housing a releasable coupling mechanism and defining five openings in which to insert and lock respective tabs, each fixed to the end of a respective branch of the seat belt. - The buckle casing is also fitted with a manual release lever for releasing the coupling mechanism rapidly from all the tabs, and so enabling the driver, in an emergency, to free himself easily from the seat belt holding him in the driver's seat.
- The lever is shaped and sized to project from the buckle casing, but, when actually driving the vehicle, should be prevented from contacting and being accidentally rotated by the driver's legs, and so accidentally releasing the seat belt. To prevent this from happening, the solution described in
EP1514490 provides for a guard which fits over the end of the lever when this is in the rest position. The guard has a tab identical to those fitted to the branches of the seat belt, and which fits inside one of the five openings in the casing. - A need is felt to simplify the known solution described above, and in particular to reduce its size and therefore weight, and preferably also the number of component parts, but without affecting the efficiency and dependability of the buckle and the degree of protection provided by the seat belt.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a seat belt buckle, in particular for racing vehicles, designed to achieve the above goals.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a seat belt buckle, in particular for racing vehicles, as defined in Claim 1.
- To better understand the present invention, a preferred, non-limiting embodiment of the present invention will be described by way of example with reference to the attached drawings, in which :
-
Figure 1 shows an exploded view in perspective of a preferred embodiment of the buckle according to the invention; and -
Figure 2 shows a larger-scale view of a component part of theFigure 1 buckle, together with a tab fixed in a manner not shown to a branch of a seat belt. - Number 1 in
Figure 1 indicates as a whole a seat belt buckle, in particular for racing vehicles. Buckle 1 comprises acasing 2, in turn comprising a front body 3 and arear base 4 arranged one onto the other along an axis A and fixed one to the other, preferably by means of screws 6. More specifically, body 3 has a flat front face 8 perpendicular to axis A and comprising aprojection 9. -
Casing 2 has aperipheral surface 10 provided with three openings defining respective inlets of abottom slot 11 and of twotop slots 12, which in use are engaged by respective tabs 15 (only one shown partly inFigure 2 ) fixed, in known manner not shown, to the ends of respective branches of a seat belt. - Body 3 and
base 4 together define acavity 17, which houses acoupling mechanism 19 designed to retaintabs 15 releasably insideslots -
Coupling mechanism 19 is connected to alever 21, which is located, and preferably rests, on face 8, and is hinged tocasing 2 so as to be rotatable manually about axis A from a rest position. As it rotates, lever 21releases coupling mechanism 19 from all oftabs 15 simultaneously. The limit stops governing rotation oflever 21 are preferably defined by projection 9: for example, the rear face, not shown, oflever 21 has an arc-shaped groove engaged byprojection 9. -
Lever 21 comprises aradial arm 22, which, whenlever 21 is in the rest position, extends downwards in a vertical direction B and is located on abottom portion 23 ofcasing 2. Whenlever 21 is in the rest position, the outline orperimeter 24 ofradial arm 22, viewed parallel to axis A, preferably lies completely within the outline orperimeter 25 ofbottom portion 23. In other words, whenlever 21 is in the rest position,radial arm 22 does not project fromperipheral surface 10, thus preventing accidental release ofcoupling mechanism 19. -
Bottom portion 23 is elongated in direction B, and is lobe-shaped or triangular with a rounded vertex, when viewed parallel to axis A. - With reference to
Figure 2 , the inlet ofslot 11 is formed on aside 26 ofbase 4, and defines forrespective tab 15 aninsertion direction 28 which is non-radial with respect to axis A and directed towards theopposite side 27 ofbase 4.Bottom portion 23 is relatively narrow, soslot 11 is formed in a position which, in a direction parallel to axis A, is aligned withradial arm 22 whenlever 21 is in the rest position. -
Side 27 faces across member 29, which is fixed with respect tocasing 2 and serves to attach the end of another branch of the seat belt. In other words,cross member 29 andside 27 define anopening 31 in which to insert and loop said branch aboutcross member 29.Opening 31, the twoslots 12 andslot 11 thus define four seat belt connection points. -
Cross member 29 is preferably formed in one piece withbase 4. - With reference to
Figure 1 ,coupling mechanism 19 comprises threeretaining pins 32, which are guided byrespective seats 33 to slide, parallel to axis A, between a lowered position, in which they engagerespective holes 34 in tabs 15 (Figure 2 ) to retaintabs 15 insiderespective slots tabs 15 are free to slide out. - Retaining
pins 32 are pushed into the lowered position byrespective springs 35, and at their rear ends have respectiveinclined surfaces 36 facing the inlets ofrespective slots surfaces 36 serve to raise retainingpins 32 in opposition tosprings 35, whentabs 15 are inserted forcefully insiderespective slots springs 35 click retainingpins 32 intoholes 34 to locktabs 15 in place. - The
seat 33 associated withslot 11 is located substantially in the centre ofbottom portion 23, i.e. extends along an axis lying in a centreline plane defined by axis A and direction B. -
Coupling mechanism 19 also comprises aplate 38, which is guided insidecavity 17 and is translated axially by rotation oflever 21 and by the thrust exerted by aspring 39 interposed betweenplate 38 and body 3. For example,lever 21 is fixed to ashaft 40, which extends along axis A, through body 3, and intocavity 17, and is connected toplate 38 by a cam andcam follower transmission 41 to liftplate 38 towards body 3 whenlever 21 moves out of the rest position. More specifically,plate 38moves retaining pins 32 simultaneously into their raised positions to releaseholes 34. - According to one aspect of the present invention, buckle 1 has no ejector devices, which means
tabs 15 are not expelled fromslots holes 34 are released. In buckle 1, it is the tension exerted by the branch of the seat belt oncross member 29 that detaches buckle 1 from the other branches of the seat belt, and so extractstabs 15 fromrespective slots - With reference to
Figure 2 , according to a preferred aspect of the present invention,seats 33 are formed in awall 42 formed in one piece withbase 4, and which defines the bottom ofcavity 17 on one side, and a front face ofslots - As
regards slots 12, these are formed inbase 4, in atop portion 43, which is symmetrical with respect to said centreline plane, and is preferably shaped to form two lobes. - The advantages of buckle 1 will be clear from the above description. In particular, the position of
slot 11 and the presence ofopening 31 greatly reduce the size ofbottom portion 23 and therefore the weight of buckle 1. The three-lobed design ofcasing 2 also provides for reducing the material, and therefore weight, oftop portion 43. And the action of the seat belt onbottom portion 23 is nevertheless balanced by virtue of the positions ofcross member 29 andslot 11. - The shape of
bottom portion 23 obviously provides for permanently guardingradial arm 22 against accidental operation. - Because
cross member 29 and/orwall 42 are/is formed in one piece withbase 4, and there are no devices for ejectingtabs 15, buckle 1 has a relatively small number of component parts. - The design and structure of buckle 1 in no way impair driving comfort, operation and safety of the seat belt, or the dependability of buckle 1 itself.
- Clearly, changes may be made to buckle 1 as described and illustrated herein without, however, departing from the protective scope of the present invention, as defined in the attached Claims.
- More specifically,
top portion 43 may be shaped differently and/or the insertion directions oftabs 15 insideslots
