Abstract
The invention relates to a device in a vehicle safety belt lock comprising a lock member (13) mounted to engage a lock tongue (17), the lock member being pivotable between engaged and disengaged positions. Furthermore, the lock comprises an ejector (22) which can be displaced against spring bias by insertion of the lock tongue, the biasing spring of said ejector comprising a helical spring which is engaged between the ejector or a member (20) operatively associated therewith, and the lock member. On the lock member, the spring is passed onto a guide projection (27) at the end position thereof, the movable contact member (42) of an electric contact being mounted for rocking movement on the one end of the biasing spring in order to be engaged with and disengaged from stationary contact members (33, 34) as the ejector is moved against or under spring bias by a rocking movement of the movable contact member caused by the spring.
