Abstract
A quick release buckle includes male and female members which are fastened together via a hinge connection. The male member includes a laterally extending pin which fits within a recess in the top front portion of the female member. The recess includes and undercut portion for receiving and retaining the male member pin. Both members include laterally extending top bars on the upper surfaces thereof. Pinching the top bars together releases the male member pin from the female member recess to unfasten the buckle.
