ABSTRACT:
The mating structure includes a bracket defined to be fitted to a base body. The bracket has a guide portion consisting of an inclined portion and a lock opening turned from the inclined portion. The structure further has a first connector pivotably attached to the bracket and a second connector provided on a fitting panel constructed to be attached to the base body. The second connector has an engagement piece associated with the guide portion of the bracket. The fitting panel is pivotable toward the base body side when the first and second connectors have mated completely. The first and second connectors are completely mated with each other when the engagement piece has reached the lock opening. The lock opening is directed perpendicularly to the disengagement direction of the first and second connectors when the fitting panel has completely pivoted toward the base body. The structure may include a third connector mounted on the base body and a fourth connector that is provisionally held by a resilient holding arm formed on the fitting panel. The attachment completion of the fitting panel also allows the complete mating of the third and fourth connectors.
