Abstract
A buckle system comprising a fixed part is disclosed. The fixed part has a front face and a rear face with a first leg and a second leg and, therebetween, an interior leg and an exterior leg and a central leg. A movable part has a front face and a rear face with an upper leg and a lower leg. Therebetween is an interior leg and an exterior leg and a central leg. A locking plate extends upwardly from the central leg of the fixed part with a section extending interiorly thereof. The locking plate forms a space between the locking plate and the remainder of the fixed part. The interior leg of the movable part has a height greater than the height of the locking plate and a diameter slightly greater than the space between the locking plate and the remainder of the fixed part.

A new and improved buckle system for the convenient coupling and upcoupling of separate parts to be releasably joined, comprising, in combination:
- a fixed part having a front face and a rear face with an upper horizontal leg and a lower horizontal leg and, therebetween, an interior vertical leg and an exterior vertical leg and a central vertical leg, the central vertical leg including a raised portion;
- a movable part having a front face and a rear face with an upper horizontal leg and a lower horizontal leg and, therebetween, an interior vertical leg and an exterior vertical leg and a central vertical leg;
- a resilient locking plate extending upwardly from the central vertical leg of the fixed part with a section extending interiorly thereof, the locking plate forming a sidewardly opening space between the locking plate and a portion of the front face of the fixed part for receiving the interior vertical leg of the movable part;
- and
- the interior vertical leg of the movable part being cylindrical having a height greater than the height of the locking plate and a diameter slightly greater than the space between the locking plate and the portion of the front face of the fixed part.

- a movable part having a front face and a rear face with an upper leg and a lower leg and, therebetween, an interior leg and an exterior leg and a central leg;
- a locking plate extending upwardly from the central leg of the fixed part with a section extending interiorly thereof, the locking plate forming a space between the locking plate and a portion of the front face of the fixed part;
- the interior leg of the movable part having a height greater than the height of the locking plate and a diameter slightly greater than the space between the locking plate and the portion of the front face of the fixed part;
- and
- an upwardly extending finger on the central leg of the fixed part with a projection extending over the central leg of the movable part for increased security.
