Abstract: A buckle includes a first connector with a first housing where the first housing includes a locking protrusion and a first magnetic portion. The buckle also includes a second connector that includes a second housing where the second housing includes a second magnetic portion and a trench for receiving the locking protrusion of the first connector. Here, the second magnetic portion is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic portion. The buckle further includes a locking mechanism mounted on the second connector at the trench. The locking mechanism includes a pivotable lever with a blocking portion. During mating of the first connector and the second connector, the pivotable lever pivotably receives the locking protrusion until the locking protrusion seats within the trench in a locked position. The blocking portion blocks the locking protrusion from movement in the locked position.

Abstract: A divider member positioned at an intermediate location within a pocket associated with a garment for receiving at least one armor plate member, the divider member extending only partially along the height of the pocket and segregating the pocket into two separate compartments, each compartment being adaptable for receiving an minor plate member. The divider member is attachable to opposed portions forming the pocket and functions to restrict movement of the armor plate members within their respective compartments to maximize protection to the wearer during tactical maneuvering. One or both end portions of the divider member may be removably attachable to the opposed pocket portions for enabling a single armor plate member to be utilized within the space provided by the pocket, and the opposed end portions of the divider member may be attached to the opposed pocket portions in an offset manner.
