ABSTRACT:
A buckle assembly includes a socket member and a plug member adapted to be releasably coupled with the socket member. The socket member includes a resilient locking arm releasable engageable with a pair of locking legs of the plug member when the locking legs are inserted into the socket member. The plug member includes a resilient tongue disposed between the locking legs and lying in a plane extending above the locking legs. The socket member includes a resilient flap disposed above the locking arm and having on its inner surface a presser lug engageable with the resilient tongue to flex the latter downwardly, and a releasing lug engageable with the locking arm to flex the latter downwardly for disengaging the latter from the locking legs. Upon this disengagement, the resilient tongue flips resiliently upwardly back to its initial flat position, in which instance a beveled upper surface of the resilient tongue slides up a rounded edge of the presser lug, affording a moment to urge the plug member to spring out from the socket member.
