Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector including an attachment member which has an attachment hole and is provided on one of a connection object and a connection target, and a connection member which includes a slide member that has a lever and is slidable in a cylindrical member inserted into the attachment hole, and is attached to an other one of the connection object and the connection target by the slide member protruding from an end of the cylindrical member, in which the attachment member has a slit hole which is formed extending from one end of the attachment hole to an other end of the attachment hole and in which the lever is slidable.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A connector comprising: an attachment member which has an attachment hole and is provided on one of a connection object and a connection target; and a connection member which (i) includes a slide member that has a lever and is slidable in a cylindrical member inserted into the attachment hole, and (ii) is attached to an other one of the connection object and the connection target by the slide member protruding from an end of the cylindrical member, wherein the attachment member has a slit hole which is formed extending from one end of the attachment hole to an other end of the attachment hole and in which the lever is slidable, wherein the attachment member has formed therein a cutout portion in which the lever of the connection member is rotated centering on a central axis of the attachment hole and arranged in a manner to be rotatable in an axial direction of the attachment hole, and wherein the cutout portion is formed such that a length in the axial direction of the attachment hole is longer than an axial length of a portion of the slide member which protrudes from the cylindrical member and shorter than an axial length of an opening formed in an end portion of the cylindrical member. 2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the slide member is plurally arranged in end portions of the cylindrical member, and the lever is provided on each slide member. 3. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein the slit hole of the attachment member is covered by the other one of the connection object and the connection target. 4. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein the lever is arranged in the cutout portion of the attachment member and exposed on back surface sides of the connection object and the connection target. 5. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the slit hole of the attachment member is covered by the other one of the connection object and the connection target. 6. The connector according to claim 5 , wherein the lever is arranged in the cutout portion of the attachment member and exposed on back surface sides of the connection object and the connection target. 7. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the lever is arranged in the cutout portion of the attachment member and exposed on back surface sides of the connection object and the connection target. 8. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment member has an engaging portion which engages with a locking portion formed on the other one of the connection object and the connection target. 9. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment member is formed of a sintering metal acquired by metal powder being sintered. 10. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the connection object is a band. 11. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the connection target is a timepiece.
