First Claim
1. A locking tongue (10) for a seat belt system comprising:
- a base (11), the base having a locking portion (14) extending in a plane, a webbing slot (16) in the base extending transverse to the plane, the webbing slot extending in a direction transverse to an insertion direction of the locking tongue, the locking portion extending in the insertion direction from the webbing slot, the webbing slot configured to guide a belt webbing from a first side of the base to a second opposite side of the base when the belt webbing extends through the webbing slot and transverse to the plane; and
a locking cam (20) associated to the webbing slot (16) and supported at the base, the locking cam (20) being movable between a rest position and a clamping position, wherein a biasing means (26;
70) is provided which biases the locking cam (20) towards the rest position, the entire locking cam only pivoting relative to the base about a single pivot axis.

Abstract
A locking tongue has a base part, a webbing slot in the base part and a locking cam. The locking cam is movable between a rest position and a clamping position. A biasing means biases the locking cam towards the rest position. The locking cam can assume the rest position in which the belt webbing can pass freely through the webbing slot, a clamping position in which the locking cam presses the belt webbing against the clamping edge of the webbing slot, the biasing means being able to return the locking cam from the clamping position into the rest position, and a locking position in which the locking cam locks the belt webbing in the webbing slot, the biasing means not being able to return the locking cam from the locking position towards the rest position.
