A buckle (10) for connecting the ends of a belt used in clothes and the like. The buckle (10) consists of a socket (11), which has a hollow socket-body (13) and a locking-device (1), and a plug (12), which has a pair of engaging members (42, 42). The locking device (1) has a locking-plate (14) and a pressuring projection (33). A resilient engaging member (24) is provided in the socket-body (13) so as to engage with and disengage from the engaging members (42) of the plug (12). According to this buckle (10), when the pressuring projection (33) is located at the bottom shell-side, even if the locking-plate (14) is pressured, the locking-plate (14) and the resilient engaging member (24) are provided so as not to be brought into contact with each other and hence the engagement of the plug and the socket is ensured. On the other hand, when the locking device (1) is slid to the plug-side, if the locking-plate (14) is pressured, since the pressuring projection (33) can be brought into contact with the resilient engaging member (24), said member (24) is deformed resiliently, so that the engaging members (42, 42) disengage from the resilient engaging member (24) so that the plug is removed from the socket in an easy operation.
