Abstract
A buckle comprising a plug having a base plate and a pair of resilient arms extending forward from the base plate; each arms having a coupling hook; a socket including a pair of upper and lower walls to define therebetween a chamber for receiving the arms and a pair of coupling lugs mounted in the chamber; as inserted into the chamber, the arms being first compressed laterally thereof by the lugs against its own resiliency and, after the coupling hooks pass beyond the respective lugs expanded under its own resiliency to bring the coupling hooks into coupling engagement with the coupling lugs; and a lock member mounted in the chamber so as to reciprocally move between a locking position and an unlocking position; the lock member comprising two or first or second pairs of locking members, each locking member in each pair being opposed to the other locking member, respectively, in said each pair; the lock member resiliently fitted in an elongated aperture of the upper wall, with the first and second locking members of the lock member adapted to come into locking engagement with the opposed locking means formed in the edge of the through aperture to thus selectively lock the lock member in the locking position and the unlocking position.
