Emergency Seat Belt Cuer (Oponal Extra)
We strongly recommend that a seat belt cuer is kept in the vehicle
as a safety precauon for those harnesses ed with a Steel Safety Buckle.
A simple but eecve device for ensuring the occupants of a car are able

Steel Safety Buckle
This buckle has proven extremely successful when ed to our
harnesses as an alternave to the standard ‘quick release’ buckle.
It helps prevent those passengers with inquisive ngers,
challenging behaviour or learning dicules from releasing the
harness buckle.
The buckle operates in reverse to the standard vehicle buckles as
it is opened by raising a spring loaded lever or over-catch and will
not press release. The spring loaded over-catch locks the buckle
when assembled and prevents accidental opening.
There is a knurled sliding bar for adjustment designed to
prevent webbing slip.
The buckle is made from Type 316 Stainless Steel and Nylon
6 and is assembled with tamper proof screws.
The 40mm buckle has a Breaking Strain of 630 kg
We recommend that the buckle instrucons provided with each
harness are displayed in a prominent posion in the
vehicle - to instruct the carer how to release the buckle mechanism
in the event of an accident.
Webbing is threaded
through the sliding
bar buckle
Loose ends of webbing
are oen passed back
through these slides to
prevent slippage & to
prevent the Fixing Straps
from loosening during
transit.
