Patent attributes
A buckle assembly has a first buckle portion, a second buckle portion and a locking lid. The first and second buckle portions have magnets that attract each other. The locking lid is connected to the first buckle portion and has a sliding element, a spring connected to the siding element, a pivot axle for connecting the locking lid to the first buckle portion, and front and rear attachment elements. The second buckle portion has engagement flanges for engaging the front and rear attachment elements. The first and second buckle portions are connected together by placing the first and second buckle portions together so that the magnets attract each other, sliding the sliding element against a force of the spring until the attachment elements engage the engagement flanges, and then releasing the sliding element to return the spring to a resting position.
