Abstract
A releasable locking type buckle is made of two pieces of essentially flat material, the pieces forming two members which cooperate with preferably webbed type belts to form a securing assembly usable as a cargo securing device. One of the locking members receives a preferably webbed type belt fixedly secured thereto, while the other locking member includes a loop receiving portion, an end of which is fixedly secured. The second member is slidable along the first member between a locking position and an unlocking position. The loop includes a first leg positioned against the underside of the first member and is looped over the loop receiving portion of the second member with a second leg of the loop spaced from the first leg. By pulling the first leg of the loop, the second member is caused to slide along the first member with the web being gripped between the loop receiving portion and a fixed locking element of the first locking member, the interposed portion of the first leg of the loop being secured therebetween for as long as tension is applied. To release the buckle, the free end of the first locking member is lifted relative to the first leg of the loop.
