Abstract
A seat belt buckle means which provides a connection for one or more opto-electric circuits (control circuits employing light for control of electrical circuits) as an incident to the establishing of the mechanical supporting connection of the buckle means, the respective portions of the opto-electrical connection being respectively operatively aligned with the buckle member components which establish the mechanical supporting connection, thus providing that the opto-electrical connectors are operatively engageable with one another whenever but only whenever the mechanically-acting buckle member components are operatively engaged, and thus correspondingly assuring that establishment and dis-establishment of the opto-electrical circuitry will be coincident with the establishment and dis-establishment of the mechanical supporting connection of the buckle means, in an arrangement in which the thief-resistant starter switch is provided as a part carried on one of the seat buckle components.
