A buckle for securing plastic strapping around an object. A pair of independently movable fingers are hingedly mounted by flexible plastic strips in spaced relationship on a rectangular base. The base has spaced pairs of integral side and end members which form a rectangular aperature therebetween. The fingers are adapted to be folded into superimposed, overlapped position along the side frame members. A post is formed on each of the end members at the midpoints thereof. The posts lie between the spaced ends of the fingers and in close proximity thereto when the fingers are in folded position. The fingers extend through loops formed in the ends of the strapping material with the finger ends being drawn inwardly against the posts upon tensioning of the strap. The posts absorb much of the tensioning force exerted on the fingers and distribute the remaining force equally on the fingers, thereby reducing twisting and breaking of the fingers during installation.

Buckle construction for securinG the ends of flexible strapping about an object, including a. a rectangular base having a pair of opposite side members and a pair of opposite end members forming a single rectangular aperture therebetween; b. first and second individual posts formed integrally with the base, each of said posts projecting upwardly from the midpoint of a respective one of the base end members; c. a pair of spaced fingers movable between open and closed positions, each of said fingers having a straight bar-like portion terminating in end portions, with said end portions each having an inner surface; d. individual strips of flexible material hingedly connecting the fingers to one of the end members; e. the fingers extending in spaced parallel relationship outwardly from the said one base end member when in open position with the inner surfaces of opposite finger end portions forming spaces therebetween, and with the width of said spaces being predetermined and generally equal to the width of the posts; f. the fingers being foldable individually toward the base in a direction generally transverse to the end members and parallel with the side members when moving from open to closed position; g. the posts being located each in a respective space between the finger end portions when the fingers are in closed strap engaging position; and h. the finger inner end surfaces engaging the respective interposed post during tensioning of the strapping to equally distribute the tensioning force on the fingers and posts.
