ABSTRACT:
The device is a snap buckle with a safety feature--a blocking element 16 which blocks the action of the side catch arms 11a&b and prevents the buckle from being inadvertently disengaged.
A male plug 10, having side catch arms 11a&b and a central member 12, forms one part of the device. A female socket 13, having openings 14a&b, a depressible member 15, and a blocking element 16 forms the other part of the device.
To engage, plug 10 and socket 13 are urged together. Side catch arms 11a&b ride over blocking element 16 to engage openings 14a&b, and are then blocked from disengagement by blocking element 16. To disengage, depressible member 15 is depressed to disable the blocking action of blocking element 16, and side catch arms 11a&b are then pressed inward to disengage said side catch arms 11a&b from socket 13.
