Abstract
A pet collar buckle structure comprised of a plastic male member and female member. The male member consists of a stepped round face at its front end, an outer circular surface protruding from the round surface and, furthermore, a lateral notch formed in the two sides of the round face. The female member has an interior space between a surface section and two elastic clips, each elastic clip having a narrow slot formed along the outer side as well as a convex section and a concave section contiguously articulated along the inner side. As such, the male member becomes tightly ensconced following insertion into the female member, but when the male member and the female member are subjected to a certain pulling force, the male member is safely released without dead angle occurrence from the trailing end and bottom surface of the female member.
