Abstract
A buckle is formed by an upper plate (,) pivotally connected to an end of a first band, and a lower plate (,) and pivotally connected to the upper plate, and a slidable frame (,) pivotally connected to an end of the lower plate. A push plate (,) is attached to the slidable frame so that a second band (,) can be inserted in the space between the push plate and a bottom plate (,), and a pushing projection (,) is formed at an end of the lower plate for pressing the push plate to the second band. A stopper rod (,) is provided in the slidable frame so as to abut against the pushing projection at a position where the pushing projection strongly presses the push plate, thereby preventing the lower plate from rotating downwardly over the slidable frame fixing position.
