ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to the field of bucking devices for securing two objects together, and more particularly to the field of buckles having a male member and a female member and being designed to allow quick release. Quick disconnect buckles are utilized in a variety of equipment. Such buckles have usually included a male member which is insertable into a female member and one of the members has a flexible part which engages a rigid part of the other member. The buckle is released by applying pressure to the flexible part to disengage the members. With such a construction, it is possible to accidentally release the buckle. The buckle of the present invention utilizes a male member having a rigid portion and a female member having a flexible portion for locking and a separate flexible portion of the male member for unlocking. During the locking action, the rigid male portion id inserted over the flexible female portion until the rigid part becomes engaged in a notch in the inside edge of the flexible female part. To release the members, the flexible portion of the male member is forced against the flexible portion of the female member and causes it to move out of engagement with the rigid part of the male member. The flexible part of the male member overlies the flexible part of the female member to prevent accidental release.
