Zusammenfassung:A strap buckle (24), particularly for use in a snowshoe binding, operates somewhat as a cam lock buckle but instead of exhibiting pinching force on the strap which increases with increased back-pulling force, the buckle's spring loaded lever (38) engages a nipple or protrusion (48) more deeply into a hole (40) in the hole-punched strap (26) as back-pulling force increases. The buckle lever (3 8) has a strong downward bend, so that a front end (55) of the lever tucks the strap tail (26b) against the user's boot (14) and aids in the releasing of the lever (38) from the strap (26).
