Abstract (en)
A two-part lanyard release buckle including a keeper part (20) defining a socket space between a floor (22) and a resilient cover (30) from an interior surface of which keeper surfaces project. A complementary securing part (60) includes a floor (62) above which two resilient locking fingers (78a,78b) extend from a rear wall portion (66) to adjacent a leading edge (64). Each locking finger (78a,78b) has a catch tab (80a,80b) which is displaceable by and lockable against a complementary one of the keeper surfaces when the securing part (60) is locked into the socket space of the keeper part (20). Flexing of the cover (30) away from the keeper part floor (22) lifts the keeper surfaces out of engagement with the catch tabs (80a,80b) of the locking finger (78a,78b) permitting separation of the buckle parts (20,60). The keeper part (20) may include a resilient member to urge the buckle parts away from each other to assist buckle release. <IMAGE>
