Abstract
The present invention relates to a seat belt buckle device comprising: a buckle to which a tongue is detachably coupled; a strap coupled to the lower part of the buckle, and mounted at a seat frame so as to be rotatable in the forward and backward directions; a bracket which is disposed at one side of the strap and fixed to the seat frame, and which restricts the rotational angle of the strap; and a torsion spring for providing restoring force so that the strap is disposed upwards, and thus the buckle can be maintained in an erected state so that the tongue can be easily coupled to the seat belt buckle, and noise and damage generated during the rotation of the strap connected to the buckle can be prevented.
