Abstract:
1. A quick-release buckle assembly, comprising: a female portion comprising a hollow body, an open top and at least one locking slot extending through the hollow body; a male portion comprising a base and at least one locking leg, such that inserting the male portion into the cavity through the open top of the female portion causes the at least one locking leg to engage the at least one locking slot to lock the male portion to the female portion; and a release assembly being separate from and disposed adjacent an end of the at least one locking leg and being slidable toward and away from the base, the release assembly comprising at least one arm that is adapted to contact the at least one locking leg, such that sliding the release assembly toward the base causes the at least one locking leg to be pushed toward an interior of the male portion by the arm of the release assembly and release from the at least one locking slot when the male portion has been inserted into the female portion, wherein the release assembly is connected to a pulling device that runs through the male portion, wherein pulling the pulling device causes the release assembly to slide toward the base and release the at least one locking leg from the at least one locking slot.
