Snap Lock

A heavy canvas pack lay grounded across the hallway floor. Down among the trailing nylon webbing rested a decoupled modular buckle. Twin prongs separated from their housing! Structural disarray rejected! I advanced immediately, gripped the loose strap in my jaw, and aligned the sliding prongs flush with the socket. Stance anchored! Balance locked onto my rear footpads! I brought my right foot down squarely onto the central junction with maximum gravitational force. KER-SNAP! The internal spring-wings compressed, drove deep into the casing, and flared open inside the locking ports! A sharp, high-tension click echoed down the corridor! Strap linkage: fully locked!
