Buckle for a belt and the like

摘要

A buckle for a belt or the like has two buckle members detachably connectable with each other and each adapted to retain a respective end portion of the belt. Each of the buckle members include a first portion detachably connectable with a first portion of the other buckle member, and a second portion adapted to confine the end portion of the belt therein. The second portion of the buckle member has at least two sections movable relative to each other between a first position in which the end portion of the belt is firmly retained in the second portion of the buckle member, and a second position in which the end portion of the buckle is released so as to be removable from the buckle member. Means are provided for arresting the sections of the second portion in the first position. The arresting means include a pivotable arresting element operative for urging the sections of the second portion into said first position.
