もあった。However, in the above-described conventional structure, the door trim 53 is pushed toward the door inner panel 51 to connect the two connectors 55 and 56, so that the door trim 53 is warped to be sure. In some cases, it was difficult to make a connection. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to provide a beam or the like at the connector arrangement portion of the door trim 53 or the door inner panel 51 to reinforce it, resulting in an increase in cost and weight. In addition, when the connector 55 is arranged on a beam provided in advance, there is a problem in that the wiring position of the flat harness 52 is restricted. Furthermore, when closing the door, pulling the handle of the door trim 53 causes the door trim 53 to warp in the pulling direction, so that the connection of the connectors 55 and 56 is easily released. In addition, connectors 55,
There is also a problem that a large force is required to fit the 56 and the workability of assembling the door trim 53 is deteriorated.

ムが変形しても、接続が何ら解除されることがない。As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the shaft portion slides along the inclined surface of the support claw at the time of connection, the force required for connection can be reduced, so that the door trim or the door trim can be reduced. It is not necessary to reinforce the door inner panel, and at the same time, the workability of assembling the door trim is improved. Also, since the spring member is compressed at the same time that the support claw supports the shaft portion,
The circuit body is securely connected by the urging force of the spring member. Also,
Since the terminal portion of the circuit body is supported by the connector housing on the door inner panel side together with the spring member by the engagement of the shaft portion with the locking groove, even if the door trim is deformed when the door is closed,
There is no disconnection. According to the second aspect of the invention, the structure is simplified. According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the support claws smoothly enter the inside of the support plate, even if there is a slight displacement between them, a smooth connection can be made. According to the invention of claim 4, since a large force is not required to bring the conductive spring member into surface contact with the conductive contact portion, there is no need to reinforce the door trim or the door inner panel. Also, since the circuit body is pressed by the strong biasing force of the metal conductive spring member, the reliability of the electrical connection is improved, and even if the door trim is deformed when the door is closed, the connection is released at all. There is no.
