Japanese Patent JP5405673
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A buckle includes a pair of legs (20) on a male member (A), and an engagement portion (24) provided on an end of the legs (20) that is to be engaged with an engaged portion (46) of a female member (B) in a form of a recessed groove, the engagement portion (24) being detachably engaged with the engaged portion (46) when the male member (A) is inserted into the female member (B) to a predetermined position. A guide (30) for guiding the insertion of the male member (A) is provided between the legs (20) of the male member (A). A hook-shaped movement restricting portion (25) projecting in the direction for the pair of legs (20) to face with each other is provided on an inner side of the legs (20). A deformation restricting portion (32) projecting in a form of a flange toward the leg (20) is provided to the guide (30). The movement restricting portion (25) is in contact with the deformation restricting portion (32) when the leg (20) is outwardly deformed. When the male member (A) and the female member (B) are to be engaged/detached, only an operation for elastically deforming the legs (20) is necessary, requiring a minimum operation force. Even when the leg (20) is outwardly deformed, since the movement restricting portion (25) is in contact with the deformation restricting portion (32), damage on the leg (20) can be prevented.
