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 pair of detents which are in the form of protrusions extend outwardly from the frame arm members. The bale member is resilient such that the bale member can be pivotally moved over the detents and thus positioned on either side thereof. The central piece of the frame has a first cross arm with an elongated slot formed on either side thereof and a second cross arm spaced from the first cross arm by one of said slots, a clamp member being slidably mounted on the second cross arm. A first strap is reeved through the slots and runs around the slidable clamp member, a second strap being attached to the bale member. When tension is placed on the first strap, the slidable clamp member is drawn towards the first cross member to clamp the strap against this cross member preventing slippage thereof particularly under repeated load cycling.
