In an old box, I found a very nifty buckle type, that I haven't seen for years: Stegschnalle, http://www.tappert-kurzwaren.de/shop_pri...s001_1.htm
Security depends on the friction of the belt to itself. Probably not suitable for unescable wrist or ankle ties but good for decorative strapping or to keep things in place (for example a monoglove or wrist cuffs for a belt-straightjacket). Lifting the side of the frame where the strap comes out, opens it.

I know this as a method to secure straps on guitars. It is closed like a stud fastener, In order to open it, you have to pull the button on the upper part. Good guitar strap fasteners are much more expensive but they are extremely reliable. It reminds me a bit of those magnetic pin locks used on hospital restraints. I have no ideas for pratical use yet.
