A buckle mechanism comprising: a housing with forward and rearward ends, an opening formed within the forward end of the housing ; a slide secured over the housing and adapted for movement between locked and unlocked positions; a pair of locking pins rotatably positioned within the housing, each of the locking pins including an internal opening and a cam positioned adjacent the internal opening, each locking pin having locked and unlocked orientations, with movement of the slide in a first direction bringing the locking pins into the unlocked orientation and movement of the slide in an opposing second direction bringing the locking pins into the locked orientation; and a striker plate having an outer face including opposing lugs , wherein the lugs are lockingly received within the internal openings of the locking pins when the locking pins are in the locked orientation, and wherein the lugs are ejected from the internal openings by urging engagement of the cams against the outer face of the striker plate when the locking pins are rotated to the unlocked orientation; and an ejector being an ejector block coupled to the housing , wherein the ejector is coupled to a torsion spring which is biased to a loaded position when the lugs are lockingly received within the internal openings of the locking pins when the locking pins are in the locked orientation, wherein, when the locking pins are rotated to the unlocked orientation the bias stored within the torsion spring is released whereby the ejector is urged to an unloaded position thereby ejecting the lugs from the internal openings of the locking pins. a housing with forward and rearward ends, an opening formed within the forward end of the housing ; a slide secured over the housing and adapted for movement between locked and unlocked positions; a pair of locking pins rotatably positioned within the housing, each of the locking pins including an internal opening and a cam positioned adjacent the internal opening, each locking pin having locked and unlocked orientations, with movement of the slide in a first direction bringing the locking pins into the unlocked orientation and movement of the slide in an opposing second direction bringing the locking pins into the locked orientation; and a striker plate having an outer face including opposing lugs , wherein the lugs are lockingly received within the internal openings of the locking pins when the locking pins are in the locked orientation, and wherein the lugs are ejected from the internal openings by urging engagement of the cams against the outer face of the striker plate when the locking pins are rotated to the unlocked orientation; and an ejector being an ejector block coupled to the housing , wherein the ejector is coupled to a torsion spring which is biased to a loaded position when the lugs are lockingly received within the internal openings of the locking pins when the locking pins are in the locked orientation, wherein, when the locking pins are rotated to the unlocked orientation the bias stored within the torsion spring is released whereby the ejector is urged to an unloaded position thereby ejecting the lugs from the internal openings of the locking pins. <EOS>
