A buckle device for a safety strap for use with skis. The buckle device is comprised of a housing having a cavity therein and a slotlike opening providing communication to the cavity. The upper wall of the cavity is defined by a resilient tab having a push button or the like thereon to facilitate a flexing of the tab downwardly into the cavity. A catch part having generally the thickness corresponding to the width of the slotlike opening in the housing is adapted to be slid through the slotlike opening in the housing so that the free end of the catch part becomes positioned within the cavity in the housing. The catch part has a flexible tab thereon forming a barb or hook which, upon entry into the cavity, will engage a projection in the cavity to prevent a removal of the catch part from the cavity. A depressing of the push button will effect an engagement between the upper wall of the cavity and the barb or hook to locate the barb or hook in alignment with the slotlike opening. Once this alignment has occurred, the catch part can be pulled from the cavity. |
