Abstract: A buckle includes a buckle body with spaced apart wall and a pivot bar extending between the side walls and a handle with a cam member and a pair of support slots. The support slots receive the pivot bar to engage the handle with the body such that the handle can pivot between an open position, in which a strap may be threaded upon the handle, and a closed position, in which tension is applied to the strap threaded upon the handle. The engagement between the support slots and the pivot bar permits the handle to slide relative to the buckle body.

Abstract: A buckle (2) comprising a buckle body (4) with spaced apart side walls (6, 8) and a pivot bar (12) extending between the side walls (6, 8), and a handle (10) with a cam member (24) and a pair of support slots (15), the support slots (15) being configured to receive the pivot bar (12) to engage the handle (10) with the body (4) such that the handle (10) can pivot between an open position, in which a strap (30) may be threaded upon the handle (10), and a closed position, in which tension is applied to the strap (30) threaded upon the handle (10), wherein the engagement between the support slots (15) and the pivot bar (12) permits the handle (10) to slide relative to the buckle body (4).

Abstract: A buckle (2) comprising a buckle body (4) with spaced apart side walls (6, 8) and a handle (10), the handle comprising a cam member (24) and being pivotally mounted between the side walls (6, 8) such that it is movable between an open position, wherein a strap (30) may be threaded upon the handle (10), and a closed position, wherein tension is applied to a strap (30) threaded upon the handle (10), characterised in that the buckle (2) further comprises strap trapping means (26, 28) arranged such that when the handle is in the closed position the strap trapping means (26, 28) defines a channel for the strap (30) threaded upon the handle, to prevent or reduce slippage thereof.
