得ない場合があって、その場合成型時に連結片の材料の
収縮などの原因により、係止部の位置が所要寸法通りと
はならずに不安定な位置に形成されることがある。However, depending on the dimensions of the connector, it may be necessary to make the connecting piece longer, and in that case, the position of the locking part may not match the required dimensions due to factors such as shrinkage of the material of the connecting piece during molding. They may form in unstable positions.
その結果、使用中に例えばコネクタの姿勢や不時の加速
度等によってロック機構が外れる虞れが多分にあった。As a result, there is a high possibility that the locking mechanism will come off during use due to, for example, the posture of the connector or unexpected acceleration.

The purpose of the mechanism is to provide a cantilever arm-like connection in which a protrusion attached to the first connector is attached to the second connector of a pair of connectors consisting of a first and a second connector. A locking mechanism that is hooked onto an engaging portion provided at the tip of a piece, the protrusion of the first connector facing downward, and a connecting piece of the second connector having elasticity in the vertical direction. , a support piece having elasticity in the vertical direction is provided substantially parallel to the connection piece, the base of the support piece is integrally connected to the second connector by a bridge part, and the tip of the support piece and the connection piece are connected together. The intermediate portions of the pieces are connected by a rib, and the connecting piece is elastically suspended by the supporting piece so as to prevent excessive downward deformation.
本考案を図示の実施例に基づいて詳細に説明する。The present invention will be explained in detail based on illustrated embodiments.
第１図は第１の実施例を示すものであり、１は例えば合
成樹脂製の雌コネクタであり、その上面には錠止のため
の突起２ａを保持する堅牢な保持部３が設けられている
。FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment, in which 1 is a female connector made of, for example, synthetic resin, and a robust holding part 3 for holding a locking protrusion 2a is provided on the top surface of the female connector. There is.
突起２ａは保持部３の内側にコネクタ本体１ａに向けて
突出され、その入口部側は斜面部４ａとなっている。The protrusion 2a is protruded from the inside of the holding portion 3 toward the connector main body 1a, and has a slope portion 4a on the entrance side.
５は同材質の雄コネクタであり、前記突起２ａと共働し
て錠止作用する片持ちアーム状の連結片６ａがコネクタ
５の本体５ａの上方から前方に延出されている。Reference numeral 5 designates a male connector made of the same material, and a cantilevered arm-shaped connecting piece 6a that cooperates with the protrusion 2a to perform a locking action extends forward from above the main body 5a of the connector 5.
この上下方向に弾性を有する連結片６ａの先端には、突
起２ａと係合する係合部としての溝部７が設けられてお
り、結合に際して連結片６ａは雌コネクタ本体１ａと突
起２ａとの間に挿入し得るようになっている。A groove 7 as an engaging part that engages with the protrusion 2a is provided at the tip of the vertically elastic connecting piece 6a, and when coupled, the connecting piece 6a is inserted between the female connector body 1a and the protrusion 2a. It can be inserted into.
連結片６ａの基部の両側には側壁部８ａが設けられてい
て、この側壁部８ａの後端部間に構設された橋絡部９ａ
から連結片６ａの上方に、連結片６ａとほぼ並行に、上
下方向に弾性を有する条片状の支持片１０ａが延出され
ている。Side wall portions 8a are provided on both sides of the base of the connecting piece 6a, and a bridge portion 9a is constructed between the rear ends of the side wall portions 8a.
A strip-shaped supporting piece 10a having elasticity in the vertical direction extends above the connecting piece 6a and substantially parallel to the connecting piece 6a.
そしてこの支持片１０ａ゛と、連結片６ａの中間部との
間はリブｌｌａによって接続されている。The supporting piece 10a'' and the intermediate portion of the connecting piece 6a are connected by a rib lla.
尚、１２ａ及び１３ａは雌コネクタ１及び雄コネクタ５
に設けられた電気接続部材の挿入孔であり、挿入孔１２
ａは雄コネクタ本体５ｂとの嵌合孔をも兼ねている。In addition, 12a and 13a are the female connector 1 and the male connector 5.
This is an insertion hole for an electrical connection member provided in the insertion hole 12.
A also serves as a fitting hole for the male connector main body 5b.
突起２ａと連結片６ａとを結合して錠止作用をさせるに
は、コネクタ１，５同志を嵌合すると共に、コネクタ本
体１ａと突起２ａとの間に連結片６ａを挿入すればよい
わけであるが、その際に連結片６ａの先端は突起２ａの
斜面部４ａに案内され、連結片６ａ及びリブｌｌａで接
続された支持片１０ａは下方に撓められながら、突起２
ａの下部を滑動して通過することになる。In order to couple the protrusion 2a and the connecting piece 6a to have a locking effect, it is sufficient to fit the connectors 1 and 5 together and to insert the connecting piece 6a between the connector body 1a and the protrusion 2a. However, at that time, the tip of the connecting piece 6a is guided by the slope part 4a of the protrusion 2a, and the connecting piece 6a and the support piece 10a connected by the rib lla are bent downward and attached to the protrusion 2a.
It will slide under the lower part of a.
突起２ａが連結片６ａの溝部７に達すれば、連結片６ａ
及び支持片１０ａの復元力により連結片６ａは元の姿勢
に戻り、突起２ａが溝部７に係合して第１図Ｃに示すよ
うに錠止がなされる。When the protrusion 2a reaches the groove 7 of the connecting piece 6a, the connecting piece 6a
The connecting piece 6a returns to its original position due to the restoring force of the supporting piece 10a, and the protrusion 2a engages with the groove 7, thereby locking as shown in FIG. 1C.
この錠止に伴い、それぞれのコネクタ１，５の挿入孔１
２ａ、１３ａ内に内装されている図示しない電気接続部
材同志は互に電気的な接続がなされる。Along with this locking, the insertion holes 1 of each connector 1 and 5
Electrical connection members (not shown) housed inside 2a and 13a are electrically connected to each other.
連結片６ａには本来の弾性力に更に支持片１０ａの弾性
力が加わるために、極めて強い弾性力となり、錠止を外
そうとする意志による外力以外の不時の力によっては、
コネクタ１，５は殆ど解離することはない。Since the elastic force of the support piece 10a is added to the original elastic force of the connecting piece 6a, it becomes an extremely strong elastic force, and can be prevented by an unforeseen force other than an external force caused by the will to release the lock.
Connectors 1 and 5 are almost never separated.
又、支持片１０ａの存在は、成型時に於いて連結片６ａ
を吊り下げる役割をも果しているので、連結片６ａが変
形したまま固化することが防止され、連結片６ａは所定
の形状に成型されることになり、錠止作用がより確実な
ものとなる。Furthermore, the presence of the supporting piece 10a means that the connecting piece 6a is
Since it also plays the role of suspending the connecting piece 6a, the connecting piece 6a is prevented from solidifying while being deformed, and the connecting piece 6a is molded into a predetermined shape, making the locking action more reliable.
第２図は第２の実施例を示すものであり、雌コネクタ１
に設けられた突起２ｂは挿入孔１２ｂの入口側天井部に
配置され、雄コネクタ５の連結片６ｂの先端部は前記挿
入孔１２ｂ内に入り込むようになっている。FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment, in which the female connector 1
The protrusion 2b provided in the insertion hole 12b is arranged on the entrance-side ceiling part of the insertion hole 12b, and the tip of the connecting piece 6b of the male connector 5 enters into the insertion hole 12b.
連結片６ｂは第１の実施例と同様に、支持片１０ｂによ
りリブｌｌｂを介して吊り下げられ、その先端部には突
起２ｂと係合する係合部としての切欠部１４が設けられ
ている。Similar to the first embodiment, the connecting piece 6b is suspended by the supporting piece 10b via the rib llb, and a notch 14 is provided at the tip thereof as an engaging part to engage with the protrusion 2b. .
この実施例に於いても、作用効果は第１の実施例とほぼ
同様であり、コネクタ１，５同志は強固な錠止をなし得
ることになる。In this embodiment as well, the operation and effect are almost the same as in the first embodiment, and the connectors 1 and 5 can be firmly locked together.
上述したように本考案に係るコネクタのロック機構は、
連結片を支持片によって吊り下げるようにしたために、
成型時の寸法精度がより正確となり、更に連結片の弾性
力を強化することによって結合状態に於けるコネクタ同
志の不時の解離が防止できる効果を有している。As mentioned above, the locking mechanism of the connector according to the present invention is
Because the connecting piece is suspended by the supporting piece,
The dimensional accuracy during molding becomes more accurate, and furthermore, by strengthening the elastic force of the connecting pieces, it is possible to prevent the connectors from unintentionally separating from each other in the connected state.
