<p>A seat belt buckle assembly includes a seat belt buckle having a frame (26) defining a tongue-receiving slot (409. A latch plate (34) is positioned in relation to the tongue-receiving slot and is movable between an unlocked position and a locked position. A latch spring (64) biases the latch plate toward the locked position. An ejector mechanism (28) is located behind the tongue-receiving slot and rearwardly movable in response to inward movement of a tongue. The ejector mechanism (28) is located behind the tongue-receiving slot and rearwardly movable in response to inward movement of a tongue. The ejector includes a first portion beyond the location of the latch plate, and a second portion (80) that slidably receives and supports the latch plate. The second portion remains in contact with the latch plate, preventing the latch plate form moving to its locked position even when the first portion has moved beyond the latch plate.</p> |
