Abstract
Abstract A PUSHBUTTON ACTUATED BUCKEL ASSEMBLY HAVING AN APERTURED TONGUE THAT IS ENGAGEABLE WITH A LUG IN THE BASE OF THE BUCKLE TO FORM A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TONGUE AND THE BUCKLE. A ROTATABLE LATCH IS SUPPORTED IN THE BUCKLE IN A POSITION SUCH THAT THE TONGUE, WHEN INSERTED INTO THE BUCKEL, IS RECEIVED BETWEEN THE LATCH AND THE BUCKLE BASE. A LATCH SPRING BIASES THE LATCH TOWARD A LOCKING POSITION IN WHICH IT MOVES THE TONGUE TOWARD THE BASE SO THAT ITS APERTURE IS JOINED WITH THE LUG. A LIFTING SPRING, BETWEEN THE TONGUE AND THE BASE, MOVES THE TONGUE AWAY FROM THE BASE AS THE LATCH IS ROTATED TO A RELEASE POSITION BY DEPRESSION OF THE PUSHBUTTON.
