Abstract
A buckle includes a buckle body with spaced apart wall and a pivot bar extending between the side walls and a handle with a cam member and a pair of support slots. The support slots receive the pivot bar to engage the handle with the body such that the handle can pivot between an open position, in which a strap may be threaded upon the handle, and a closed position, in which tension is applied to the strap threaded upon the handle. The engagement between the support slots and the pivot bar permits the handle to slide relative to the buckle body.
