Claims7
A buckle assembly, comprising:
- a first buckle member which comprises a first buckle body comprising an insertion member, and a covering member movably coupled to said first buckle body, said covering member being a panel-like member which is pivotally connected to said first buckle body, said covering member having a front extension portion;
- a second buckle member, which comprises:
- a second buckle body having a receiving slot formed at a position corresponding to said inserting member of said first buckle body;
- a first buckle latch and a second buckle latch connected to said second buckle body, each of said first buckle latch and said second buckle latch being arranged to move between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein in said unlocked position, each of said first buckle latch and said second buckle latch is pivotally moved to allow said insertion member of said first buckle body to be inserted in said receiving slot, wherein in said locked position, each of said first buckle latch and said second buckle latch is pivotally moved to lock up said insertion member of said first buckle body in said receiving slot;
- and
- a plurality of resilient elements mounted in said second buckle body to normally exert an urging force to normally retain said first buckle latch and said second buckle latch in said locked position respectively;
- and
- a locking arrangement, which comprises a first locking member extended from one of said first buckle member and said second buckle member to retain one of said first buckle latch and said second buckle latch at said locked position, said locking arrangement being provided on said covering member so as to restrict unwanted movement of said first buckle latch and said second buckle latch, each of said first locking member and said second locking member being downwardly extended from two side edges of said covering member respectively for restricting a pivotal movement of said first buckle latch and said second buckle latch when said second buckle member is coupled with said first buckle member.
