Abstract

In one embodiment a buckle includes at least one rectangular frame having two side members, at least one cross member parallel to and between the side members for dividing an opening formed by the frame into a plurality of slots, and two end members; and at least one strap; wherein a portion of the strap sequentially passes the slots by engaging over each of the at least one cross member is not overlapped with the end of the strap secured to one face of either side member or one face of the cross member. An easy adjustment of the tension of the strap is made possible.
