Abstract: A releasable locking clip for selective engagement with a connecting pin, the releasable locking clip comprising a fastening member displaceable from a pin engaging position to a pin disengaging position. The application of opposed compressive forces to the releasable locking clip displaces the fastening member to the pin disengaged position. In an alternative embodiment, a releasable fastener is formed by an elongate strap, a housing formed at a first end of the strap and having an aperture extending therethrough for receiving a second end of the strap, a fastening member displaceable from a pin engaging position to a pin disengaging position, and an actuation member responsive to the application of opposed manual compressive forces to actuate the fastening member from the pin engaging position to the pin disengaging position.
