ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for webbing retention and adjustment that includes a body member having opposing side members interconnected by first and second transverse members. A resilient projecting member extends upwardly from a lower portion of the body member and includes a front side portion biased toward the second transverse member and engageable with a portion of the webbing between the second transverse member and the resilient projecting member so as to increase the friction on the webbing and prevent slippage of the webbing in at least one direction with little or no tension on the webbing. The resilient projecting member is flexible away from the second transverse member to at least partially disengage the webbing and ease adjustment of the webbing by reducing the friction on the webbing and reducing the webbing release angle required to adjust the webbing. The body member may be configured as a unitary plastic buckle with a third transverse member interconnecting the opposing side portions wherein a portion of the webbing is looped around the third transverse member and secured to itself by stitching or other means known in the art, or as part of a buckle system with mating male and female portions.
