Abstract:
A buckle with a first pawl that is biased by a pair of magnets that are oriented in opposition to each other to provide a repelling force, and with a second pawl that is biased by another pair of magnets that are oriented in opposition to each other to provide a repelling force.

Claim (Index 1):
A buckle; comprising:\n a main body comprised of at least first and second plates that define a space therebetween; and, first and second counter-rotating pawls that are each positioned in the space between the first and second plates and that are pivotally attached to the main body of the buckle, each pawl comprising an actuating portion that extends outward beyond a perimeter of the main body of the buckle and an engaging portion that comprises an engaging end with at least one tooth that is configured to engage with a shoulder of a forward end of a catch that is slidably insertable into the buckle;\n wherein the first pawl comprises a first-pawl biasing system that comprises a first magnet that is mounted on the engaging portion of the first pawl in a location forward of an axis of rotation of the first pawl, and a second magnet that is mounted on the main body of the buckle in an orientation that is at least generally in opposition to the first magnet, so that a repelling force between the first and second magnets provides a biasing force that urges the engaging end of the first pawl laterally inward, \n wherein the second pawl comprises a second-pawl biasing system that comprises a third magnet that is mounted on the engaging portion of the second pawl in a location forward of an axis of rotation of the second pawl, and a fourth magnet that is mounted on the main body of the buckle in an orientation that is at least generally in opposition to the third magnet, so that a repelling force between the third and fourth magnets provides a biasing force that urges the engaging end of the second pawl laterally inward.
