Abstract
A quick-disconnect buckle for engaging and tightening the ends of a strap, the buckle having a channel-shaped frame member with upwardly extended flanges fixed to one end of the strap, the flanges having downwardly extending slots with narrow apertures. A channel-shaped handle member is adjustably secured to the other end of the strap and has downwardly extending flanges with transversely extending pins. The pins, having non-circular cross sections, are detachably pivotally engaged within the slots when the handle member is in an open position and are fixedly pivotally engaged within the slot when the handle member tightens the strap by pivoting from an open to an over-the-center closed position.
