Abstract
A coupler for animal collars characterized by a novel combination of a releasable locking member in the form of a strip of metal which conveniently functions as a name plate. This strip is adapted to receive a pair of post members provided on a channel-like base member which in turn receives respective ends of the collar which are held on the posts until the strip member is removed. One of the posts includes a stop means and the other post is a threaded member adapted to receive a complementary threaded member disposed through spaced holes in the locking strip to effectively couple the ends of the collar together. Merely removing the threaded member from the threaded post permits quick removal of the strip from both posts.
