ABSTRACT:
A buckle for securing plastic strapping around an object. A pair of independently movable fingers are hingedly mounted by flexible plastic strips in spaced relationship on a rectangular base. The base has spaced pairs of integral side and end members which form a rectangular aperature therebetween. The fingers are adapted to be folded into superimposed, overlapped position along the side frame members. A post is formed on each of the end members at the midpoints thereof. The posts lie between the spaced ends of the fingers and in close proximity thereto when the fingers are in folded position. The fingers extend through loops formed in the ends of the strapping material with the finger ends being drawn inwardly against the posts upon tensioning of the strap. The posts absorb much of the tensioning force exerted on the fingers and distribute the remaining force equally on the fingers, thereby reducing twisting and breaking of the fingers during installation.
