Abstract
The present invention relates to improvements on buckles used for belts, and more particularly it is used for fastening a belt which is provided with a plurality of shallow engagement grooves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of fastening of the belt. According to this buckle, an engagement piece is projected on the buckle body which is to be engaged with said grooves provided on the belt and which is capable of elastic deformation. The engagement piece can be pressed by a cam piece of a manipulating member which is pivotally fixed to the buckle body for swinging motion. The cam piece presses the engagement piece to release the same from the groove, thereby to unfasten and let the belt loosen.
