ABSTRACT:
A quick-release buckle of economical construction for use in situations where rapid release of a strap is required, such as, for example, a buckle for a strap holding a scuba air tank to a backpack. The buckle has a main body portion which has a pair of oppositely positioned similar side walls with a pair of spaced apart cross bars or arms running therebetween. An operating handle for use in retaining the strap to the main body portion and releasing it therefrom is pivotally supported between the side members of the main body of the buckle. The operating handle as a pair of side arms which are connected together by a cross arm, the side arms being pivotally retained in apertures formed in the side plates of the main body portion of the buckle. A pair of detents are formed along the outer walls of the side plates of the main body portion, with the side arms of the operating handle being resiliently separable such that the operating lever can be moved past the detents and latched in position between the detents and stop members formed in the side plates, thereby retaining the strap in a secured position.
