ABSTRACT:
A buckle comprises a male member having a pair of resilient legs releasably engageable with a socket portion of a female member to couple the male and female members, the female member having a pair of cantilevered resilient arms resiliently flexible toward each other to urge the legs out of interlocking engagement with the socket portion. The arms are disposed between a pair of opposed plates of the socket member and have stop fingers loosely received in apertures in one of the plates. With this construction, the resilient arms are protected against damage or breakage when subjected to forces tending to flex the arms in a direction either parallel to or perpendicular to the general plane of the socket portion. The male member includes a generally U-shaped reinforcing rib disposed between and connected with the legs with a U-shaped slit defined therebetween so as to increase the resiliency of the legs.
