German term or phrase: Steckrahmen
Instructions for putting on a safety harness.

Beingrute einstellen:
Beide Steckrahmenteile im rechten Winkel zum Gurtband ankippen. Dann das Gurtband durch den Steckrahmen straffziehen und Steckrahmenteile zurückkippen lassen.

Brustgurt schließen:
Freies Gurtbandende mit kleinem Steckrahmen durch die Textilschlaufe fädeln und in den großen Steckrahmen einstecken.

I can envisage what they mean - I think there are similar adjustable fastenings on rucksacks and numerous other everyday items. Just can't think what they are called - help!

clip fastener
Explanation:
... a little ;-)

I've seen this kind of fastening called a Steckschliesse. Not aware of a special name in English, though - but there are a few relevant Google hits for "clip fastener" and "quick fastener".

Which would still leave you with the problem of how to name the two parts, hence my low confidence level...

There are also proprietary names for what look to be the same kind of animal, such as "quicklock buckle"...

Just seen that the first words/sentences I wrote under this answer have been lost. Probably just \"Maybe this will help ... a little ;-) \" - but I also had a link or two to \"Steckschliesse\". Never mind...
