ABSTRACT:
In a connecting mechanism which connects two members, one of the two members is provided with an elastically deformable engaging portion, and the other member is provided with a contact surface which is brought into contact with the elastically deformable engaging portion, which is elastically deformed at a front end. The two members are engaged with each other by elastically deforming the elastically deformable engaging portion so that the latter comes into contact with the contact surface. The elastically deformable engaging portion and the contact surface are shaped such that the engagement force of the two members during a connecting operation is stronger than the engagement force when the connecting operation is completed.
