ABSTRACT:
A shell buckle for releasably securing together a pair of ends of a belt, strap or the like includes a shell buckle latch member and a shell buckle body member. The latch member has a pair of opposed resilient arms which are movable toward and away from each other. The body member includes a central body portion which has a pair of resilient arch members extending from the opposite sides thereof so as to form a C-shaped section. The resilient arms are receivable in the central body portion and are releasably interengaging with means of the body member to connect the latch and body members together. The resilient arch members include opposite side guard members which are movable inwardly relative to each other with a curling action to form the C-shaped section with a smaller radius to cause inward movement of the resilient arms on the latch member to disengage the latch member from the body member.
