<p>The present invention relates to a buckle assembly (1) for use in a restraint system for protecting a vehicle passenger during a crash event. The buckle assembly (1) includes a connector (20), an airbag buckle (40) and a means for ensuring that the connector (20) may only be inserted into an airbag buckle (40) in a single orientation. The connector (20) includes a mechanical stop (24) with an offset edge (36). This offset edge (36) must engage within a clearing slot (48) located within the airbag buckle (40) in order for the connector (20) to latch into the airbag buckle (40). Latching of the connecting element with other non-airbag buckle or with the airbag buckle when the connector (20) is not in the proper orientation is thus prevented.</p> |
