  • an aim of the present invention is to provide a buckle that is simple and convenient to use.
  • the present invention concerns buckle for a belt or a strap, wherein said buckle comprises at least two articulated levers via an axis, wherein a first of said levers is further articulated to a base of the buckle and a second of said levers is articulated to a pin unit carrying at least one pin, and a releasable locking mechanism between said levers, wherein by relative rotation of said second lever with respect to said first lever, the pin unit is moved from a first position to a second position, one of said position being a tight position of the belt and the other of said position being a loose position of the belt.
  • the buckle or strap may comprise a belt loop lever articulated on the buckle base via a spring axis and which can be locked in position with respect to the base via a releasable locking mechanism.
