ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A strap connector buckle is formed from a single piece of wire such buckle being rectangular in outline and including a pair of strap engaging arms on opposing sides of the buckle. Each pair of arms includes a first and second arm both of which are straight and approximately parallel to one another and to the arms of the opposing pairs. The first and second arms of each pair are spaced apart sufficiently to permit, in use a strap with which the connector buckle is to be used to be passed therebetween. The first arm of each of the pairs is a terminal portion of the wire and has a free end while the second arm of each pair is an intermediate wire segment. A first run of the wire connects the first arm of one such pair to the second arm of the other pair and a second run of the wire connects the second arm of said one pair to the first arm of the other pair. A further run of wire connects the second arms of the pairs to one another. In a preferred embodiment, the first run of wire has an end portion adjacent the first arm of said one pair provided with an elbow portion which extends partially around the second arm of the one pair in such a manner as to permit strap tension forces tending to spread the second arms apart to be transmitted from one of the second arms to the other thereby to resist the spreading apart of the second arms. In addition, the free ends of the first arms are arranged to engage and be supported by the further run of wire when the strap is under tension. The further run of wire has an upstanding elbow at each of its ends, with the free ends of the first arms tending to come into engagement with the elbows when the strap is tensioned thereby to hold them in approximate parallelism with their associated second arms.
