PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To be capable of miniaturizing an insertion type buckle, making easy elastic deformation of an insertion leg part, and executing smooth inserting/detaching operation by suppressing deformation of the leg part within a definite range. SOLUTION: A buckle body 1 made of a resin is a flat housing 10 having an insertion port 15 on one end, opening parts 16 on both sides and an engaged part 20 in the inner part. An insertion body 2 is provided with a pair of flexible insertion leg parts 31 equipped with an engaging part 32 on one end. An operating rod 33 extended in the cantilever manner from the tip is provided on the outside of the insertion leg part 31. A mechanism capable of suppressing inward and outward deformations of the leg part 31 within the definite range is included. The operating rod 33 is provided with an operating part 34 protruded outward from the opening part 16 provided on the buckle body 1 at the time of inserting into the buckle body 1. The insertion leg part 31 is deformed by pressing to disengage the engaging part 32 from the engaged part 20, thereby removing the insertion body 2 from the buckle body 1. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
