A buckle device is disclosed for releasably fastening together a first, second and third strap. The device includes a first plug attached to the first strap and a second plug attached to the second strap. A socket is attached to the third strap and a release button is molded separately from the socket and cooperates with the socket such that when the button is disposed in a first disposition relative to the socket, the first and second plugs are secured relative to the socket and when the button is disposed in a second disposition relative to the socket, the first and second plugs are released from the socket. The socket defines a catch which engages an opening when the tongue is inserted into a first hole such that the first plug is secured relative to the socket. Also, the socket defines a further catch which engages a further opening when the further tongue is inserted into a second hole such that the second plug is secured relative to the socket. The arrangement is such that when the button is disposed in the first disposition, the tongue and further tongue are secured within the socket and when the button is disposed in the second disposition thereof, the button deflects the tongue and the further tongue away from the catch and further catch respectively so that the opening disengages from the catch and the further opening disengages from the further catch such that the first and second plugs are released from the socket.
