Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A lever-type connector has a housing ( 20 ) and shafts ( 33 ) project from opposite side surfaces of the housing ( 20 ). Outward deformation preventing walls ( 35 ) define open inner spaces ( 37 ) on sides of the shafts ( 33 ). A U-shaped lever ( 60 ) has a coupling ( 61 ) and two arm plates ( 62 ). The arm plates ( 62 ) are mounted on the shafts ( 33 ) for rotation between an initial position and a connection position. Each arm plate ( 62 ) includes a thin portion ( 66 ) and a thick portion ( 68 ). The thin portions ( 66 ) of the arm plates ( 62 ) deform out due to interference with the shafts ( 33 ) and enter the inner spaces ( 37 ) of the outward deformation preventing walls ( 35 ) of the housing ( 20 ) at the assembled position. The thick portions ( 67 ) of the arm plates ( 62 ) enter the inner spaces ( 37 ) of the outward deformation preventing walls ( 35 ) when moving toward the connection position.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A lever-type connector, comprising: a housing connectable to a mating housing and including shafts projecting on opposite side surfaces and outward deformation preventing walls each with an open inner space on the side of the shaft; and a U-shaped lever having a coupling and two arm plates projecting from opposite ends of the coupling, each of the arm plates having an outer periphery, a curved cam groove formed in each of the arm plates and extending from…
