WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/010235
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a connector having no protrusion allowance (protruding portion) and is capable of one-touch operation. [Solution] In the connector, which comprises a connector housing, a male member mounted to the connector housing, and a lock member, the connector housing is provided with a lock member holding wall, which is formed at the outer periphery thereof, a u-shaped wall, which has an approximately u-shaped cross section having a sliding inclined surface across which the tip of the lock member slides, and a through hole, which is formed in a manner so as to engage an engagement section formed at the outer periphery of the male member mounted to the connector housing and through which a portion of the lock member held by the lock member holding wall passes, and the lock member engages the engagement section formed at the outer periphery of the male member by means of elastic force in an unloaded state and is released from the engagement section formed at the outer periphery of the male member by means of applying a pressing load, and so one-touch operation is possible and it is possible to eliminate protrusion allowance.
