Abstract
A locking buckle is formed of a male member with one or more flexible portions having a first position and a second position, and a female member adapted for receiving the flexible portions in the first position and allowing the one or more flexible portions to assume the second position to form a secure engagement with the male member. A rotatable member includes a periphery adapted for tactile engagement, the movable member preventing movement of the one or more flexible portions to the first position in a locked condition and allowing movement of the one or more flexible portions in an unlocked condition. A retainer retains the rotatable member in an opening of the female member. The male member may engage and move the rotatable member from the locked condition to the unlocked condition when inserted into the female member, and a detent may control the movement of the rotatable member. Related methods are disclosed.
