A buckle includes a buckle body, two first retainers, and two second retainers connected respectively and detachably to the first retainers. The buckle body includes an insert groove having two upwardly facing openings, two stop portions, and a resilient pressing arm. The first retainers are inserted into the insert groove via the openings, respectively. Each of the first retainers includes a resilient retaining plate biased to a retaining position to prevent removal of the corresponding first retainer from the buckle body. Each of the resilient retaining plates is removable from the retaining position. When the resilient pressing arm is pressed, each of the resilient retaining plates is removed from the retaining position by the resilient pressing arm.

The buckle as claimed in claim 1, further comprising two second retainers, each of said first retainers including a first coupling portion, each of said second retainers including a second coupling portion connected removably to a respective one of said first coupling portions of said first retainers. 3. The buckle as claimed in claim 2, wherein each of said first coupling portions of said first retainers is configured as one of a groove and a tongue, and each of said second coupling portions of said second retainers is configured as the other one of said groove and said tongue. 4. The buckle as claimed in claim 2, wherein said first coupling portions are configured as grooves each having an open end, and said second coupling portions are configured as tongues engaged respectively into said grooves via said open ends of said grooves, each of said second retainers having an end surface, said end surfaces of said second retainers facing toward and being adjacent to each other so as to prevent removal of said second retainers from said first retainers. 5. The buckle as claimed in claim 4, wherein said open end of each of said grooves is defined by a wall having opposite top and bottom wall portions that are formed with aligned notches, respectively, each of said second retainers further including an engagement portion engaging said notch in said bottom wall portion of a corresponding one of said first retainers. 6. The buckle as claimed in claim 2, wherein said second coupling portions are configured as grooves each having an open end, and said first coupling portions are configured as tongues engaged respectively into said grooves via said open ends of said grooves, each of said second retainers having an end surface, said end surfaces of said second retainers facing toward and being adjacent to each other so as to prevent removal of said second retainers from said first retainers. 7. The buckle as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said first retainers includes a plate body that is inserted into said insert groove and that is cut to form a tongue plate constituting said resilient retaining plate and having a free end, said free ends of said tongue plates of said first retainers abutting respectively against said stop portions of said buckle body to prevent removal of said first retainers from said buckle body. 8. The buckle as claimed in claim 7, wherein each of said actuating portions includes a rib aligned with said resilient retaining plate of a corresponding one of said first retainers and having a bottom end and a top end nearer to said resilient retaining plate of the corresponding one of said first retainers than said bottom end. 9. The buckle as claimed in claim 1, wherein said positioning brackets are disposed on said release member, said release member including two positioning holes permitting extension of said first plate bodies therethrough, respectively, and two positioning hooks disposed respectively opposite to and spaced apart from said positioning brackets, each of said positioning brackets including a positioning block, said positioning blocks of said positioning brackets being aligned respectively with said positioning hooks, each of said first plate bodies including a first connecting portion abutting against a respective one of said positioning blocks, and a second connecting portion abutting against a respective one of said positioning hooks. 10. The buckle as claimed in claim 1, wherein said buckle body further includes a biasing unit for providing a biasing force to eject said first retainers from said upwardly facing openings, respectively. 11. The buckle as claimed in claim 1, wherein said biasing unit includes two first plate bodies each having an end, two second plate bodies extending respectively from said ends of said first plate bodies and pressing respectively against said first retainers for biasing said first retainers to eject from said upwardly facing openings, respectively, and a connecting plate body coplanar with and connected fixedly between said first plate bodies. 12. The buckle as claimed in claim 11, wherein said release member includes two positioning holes, said second plate bodies extending through said positioning holes, respectively, so as to position said biasing unit relative to said buckle body. 13. The buckle as claimed in claim 1, further comprising two second retainers, each of said first retainers including a first coupling portion, each of said second retainers including a second coupling portion connected removably to a respective one of said first coupling portions of said first retainers. 14. The buckle as claimed in claim 13, wherein each of said first coupling portions of said first retainers is configured as one of a groove and a tongue, and each of said second coupling portions of said second retainers is configured as the other one of said groove and said tongue. 15. The buckle as claimed in claim 13, wherein said first coupling portions are configured as grooves each having an open end, and said second coupling portions are configured as a tongue engaged respectively into said grooves via said open ends of said grooves, each of said second retainers having an end surface, said end surfaces of said second retainers facing toward and being adjacent to each other so as to prevent removal of said second retainers from said first retainers. 16. The buckle as claimed in claim 13, wherein said second coupling portions are configured as grooves each having an open end, and said first coupling portions are configured as block engaged respectively into said grooves via said open ends of said grooves, each of said second retainers having an end surface, said end surfaces of said second retainers facing toward and being adjacent to each other so as to prevent removal of said second retainers from said first retainers. 17. A buckle comprising: a buckle body including an insert groove having two upwardly facing openings; andtwo retainer sets each including a first retainer having a first coupling portion, and a second retainer having a second coupling portion connected removably to said first coupling portion, one of said first and second retainers of each of said retainer sets being configured as a groove having an open end that permits insertion of the other one of said first and second retainers of a corresponding one of said retainer sets thereinto and that is orientated in a direction different from that of each of said upwardly facing openings of said insert groove;wherein the other one of said first and second retainers of each of said retainer sets is configured as a tongue that is inserted into said groove and that has an end surface, said end surfaces of said tongues of said retainer sets facing toward and being adjacent to each other so as to prevent removal of said second retainers from said first retainers, andwherein the direction is perpendicular to that of each of said upwardly facing openings of said insert groove. 18.
