A separable buckle (10) for interconnecting two parts of a strap (A) or other tension member comprises a first buckle member (11) adapted to be attached to the first strap part and a second buckle member (12) adapted to be interconnected with the first buckle member and to slidably receive the second strap part. When interconnected, the two buckle members (11,12) are relatively pivotable about a transverse axis (C) with the first buckle member (11) acting as a two-armed lever, one lever arm (18) of which is engageable with the second strap part on the second buckle member (12) so that the second strap part can move in one direction relative to the second buckle member but is prevented from moving in the opposite direction by said one lever arm (18). The second buckle member (12) comprises a reverse bent hook portion (23/24) including a hinge element (25) receptive of a hinge element (16) of the first buckle member (11). |
