Abstract
A seatbelt buckle tongue has a buckling part and an aperture through which seatbelt webbing passes. The extent of sliding of the tongue on the webbing is limited by at least one protrusion provided on the inside of the aperture in the tongue. A protrusion may be round, square or formed of a line of a plurality of buttons dimensioned and arranged to apply pressure to the webbing passing through the tongue and resist sliding of the tongue on the webbing.
