Abstract
Comprising, as is conventional, a base (1) and two headers (4) and (5) which couple by matching and insert in the housing defined in base (1), the buckle of the invention is mainly characterised in that button (12), which is mounted on body (1) and by means of which headers (6) and (7) are locked and released, incorporates two retaining teeth (16) and (17), considerably separated from each other, one placed frontally and the other laterally, which act on respective ledges (18) and (19) of sector (4), which they reach by means of the lateral displacement of said button (12) against the action of a spring (14), when sectors (4) and (5) of the headers are inserted in base (1), and which are released by a manual transverse operation of button (12).
