Abstract

A tongue and buckle fastener for a safety belt harness in which the tongue has a head portion securable by a spring-loaded latching member in the buckle. A spring loaded tongue ejector ejects the tongue from the buckle after operating a push-button to move the latching member to a release position. The latching member is biased and guided for movement transversely of the tongue insertion direction. A camming member, between the push-button and the latching member, is guided for movement in the tongue insertion direction. The camming member has ramps, one at each side, which co-operate with respective shoulders on the latching member. A pair of spring arms exert a return bias on the camming member and extend between the shoulders and the ramps.
