ABSTRACT:
A side release buckle has a female member and a male member which includes a central post that is received in a channel of the female member and a pair of spaced somewhat parallel flexible engagement or latching arms having protuberances or heads that have crescent shaped latching shoulders. The arms flex inwardly as they enter an opening into a cavity of the female member and then outwardly when the heads are aligned with the side aperture at which the crescent shaped shoulders engage surfaces of the side walls of the female member adjacent these apertures. The crescent shaped shoulders supply increased bearing area capable of resisting more efficiently the linear and torsional loads normally encountered by side released buckles.
