ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A buckle comprises a male member including a pair of resiliently flexible legs each having an abutment surface, and a female member having a socket portion releasably couplable with said legs and including a pair of spaced sidewalls defining therebetween a slot for receiving therein said legs, each of the sidewalls having a retaining surface engageable with the abutment surface to interlock the male and female members. The socket portion further has a pair of cantilevered arms disposed inwardly of the sidewalls and resiliently flexible toward and away from the sidewalls. An actuating lug is disposed on a distal end of each arm which is located outside of the slot, the lug being engageable with one of the legs. The arms are resiliently flexible toward each other to cause the actuating lugs to urge the legs to flex resiliently toward each other for bringing the abutment surface and the retaining surface out of engagement with one another. The advance in the art is in that the arms are protected from being damaged or broken when subjected to undue lateral pulling forces tending to spread the arms.
