Abstract
A locking device is provided in a pre-tensioner for a safety belt or safety harness in a vehicle. The pre-tensioner is mounted on a plate secured to the seat of the vehicle. In order to prevent the pre-tensioner being triggered by forward adjustment of the seat, a plate is provided which is pivotally mounted, so that the plate can swing to a locking position on forward movement of the seat. When in the locking position, an arcuate edge of the plate is located adjacent a lever forming part of the pre-tensioner preventing forward movement thereof and thus preventing triggering of the pre-tensioner.
