Latch plate and method for producing a latch plate
First Claim
1. A locking tongue (10) for a seat belt comprising an inserting portion (12) adapted to be inserted into a belt buckle and a deflecting portion (14) for a webbing (16), wherein the deflecting portion (14) includes a webbing passage (20) through which the webbing (16) is guided and a clamping element (22) for the webbing (16), the clamping element (22) being displaceable between a home position in which the webbing (16) is freely movable and a blocking position in which the clamping element (22) is displaced against a wall (36) of the webbing passage (20) so that the webbing (16) is clamped between the clamping element (22) and the wall (36) of the webbing passage (20), the clamping element (22) including a clamping surface (24) which in the blocking position clamps the webbing (16) against the wall (36) of the webbing passage (20),wherein the clamping element (22) is guided along a curved guide path (40) extending in an area of the blocking position substantially perpendicularly to the wall (36) so that in the blocking position the clamping element (22) is moved against the wall (36) substantially perpendicularly with the clamping surface (24),wherein an effective height of the clamping surface (24), measured in a longitudinal direction of the webbing (16), is larger than a height of the guide path,and wherein the clamping surface (24) in the blocking position is arranged in parallel to the wall (36) and is in full-surface contact with the latter.

Abstract
A locking tongue for a seat belt has a deflecting portion for a webbing. The deflecting portion includes a webbing passage and a clamping element. The clamping element is displaceable between a home position in which the webbing is freely movable and a blocking position in which the clamping element is displaced against a wall of the webbing passage so that the webbing is clamped between the clamping element and the wall of the webbing passage. The clamping element includes a clamping surface which in the blocking position clamps the webbing against the wall of the webbing passage. The clamping element is guided along a curved guide path extending in an area of the blocking position substantially perpendicularly to the wall so that in the blocking position the clamping element is moved against the wall substantially perpendicularly with the clamping surface.
