Abstract
A quick release fastener for an end fitting of a safety belt having spaced apart first and second frame, a lockable insert tongue insertable between the frame plates, and a locking element moveable between a locking position in which the insert tongue is locked between the frame plates, and a release position. A locking element has at least two anchor surfaces facing one another, which at least form the stop at one outer face of the frame plates or of the insert tongue. In this way, a shockproof quick release fastener is provided which can be released without a special tool.

- a first frame plate and a second frame plate, the second frame plate spaced apart from the first frame plate, the first frame plate and the second frame plate forming a frame,
- a lockable insert tongue insertable between the first frame plate and the second frame plate, and
- a locking element movable between a locking position in which the insert tongue is locked between the first and second frame plates, and a release position in which the insert tongue is released
- the locking element having at least two anchor surfaces arranged on opposite sides outside the frame and facing one another, the two anchor surfaces forming at least one stop on at least one outer face of the frame plates or of the insert tongue acting to restrict lateral movement of the locking element, each of the two anchor surfaces further extending parallel to and overlapping with the frame plates in the locking position.
