Abstract
At a present buckle device, lateral slits are formed in lateral portions of a slider of a buckle switch. A tab is formed at a portion, which is further toward a device upper side than the lateral slit, of a lateral portion that is at a device left side. A portion, which is further toward a device lower side than the lateral slit, at the lateral portion is an elastic portion, and a magnet is held thereat. Therefore, even if the tab receives pushing force from an ejector and is deformed, deformation arising at the elastic portion can be suppressed, and holding of the magnet can be stabilized.
Claims8
A buckle device comprising:
- a buckle main body configured such that a tongue provided at a webbing of a seatbelt device is inserted into an inner side of the buckle main body and is held at a predetermined position at the inner side of the buckle main body;
- and
- a moving body detecting unit that has a moving body that can move due to movement of the tongue inserted into the buckle main body, the moving body detecting unit detecting whether or not the tongue is inserted to the predetermined position in the buckle main body on the basis of a result of detection of the moving body;
- wherein the moving body detecting unit includes a holding unit which is movable with respect to the buckle main body, the holding unit including
- a holding portion at which the moving body is held, and
- a pressure receiving portion that is pushed directly or indirectly by the tongue inserted into the buckle main body,
- the holding portion and the pressure receiving portion being formed at the holding unit, and
- wherein the holding unit, the holding portion, and the pressure receiving portion move with respect to the buckle main body, together with the moving body which is held at the holding portion, due to the pressure receiving portion being pushed, and
- wherein the pressure receiving portion and the holding portion are separated such that deformation of the holding portion due to the pushing force applied directly or indirectly to the pressure receiving portion is suppressed.
