Abstract
A buckle includes: a pair of side walls; a first bar and a second bar that each couple the pair of side walls to each other; a tab that is disposed between the pair of side walls and extends in a direction intersecting a facing direction of the pair of side walls; and connecting portions that couple the tab to the pair of side walls, respectively. The tab includes a fore end portion. The fore end portion is disposed between the first bar and the second bar and is configured to clamp a belt body between the fore end portion and the first bar. The tab is configured to undergo attitude change to cause the fore end portion to separate from the first bar by causing a flexible portion to undergo elastic deformation. The flexible portion is a portion of each of the connecting portions.
