ABSTRACT:
A two piece buckle has a frame member and a bale member which is pivotally supported on the frame member. The frame member includes a central elongated substantially flat piece and a pair of arm members extending from the edges of the central piece at an angle of substantially 90 degrees. These arm members have a pair of apertures formed therein which provide sockets into which the opposite ends of the bale fit. A ramp is formed directly beneath each one of these apertures to facilitate the installation of the bale member in the apertures in a snap fit. A pair of detents which are on the form of projections extending outwardly from the frame arm members are located forward of the apertures in which the bale member is pivotally supported. The bale and arm members are both resilient such that the bale member can be pivotally moved over the detents and thus positioned on either side of the detents. The central piece of the frame has a pair of slots formed therein through which a strap may be reaved in retention on the frame while a second strap is attached to the bale member. The two straps with their extreme ends suitably retained are placed over the member to be tied down with the frame in a "release" position with the bale on one side of the detents. The strap which is reaved through the slots on the frame member is then adjusted for tiedown and the frame moved to its "tension" position with the bale on the other side of the detents.
