ABSTRACT:
A lever with a projecting part is rotatably mounted to the female connector via a supporting shaft. The lever has a projecting part entering in a fitting hole formed therein and butts against a strut formed in the male connector at the fitting time, thereby to turn the lever to the operating position and further press the strut when the lever is turned from the operating position, so that the male and female connectors are perfectly engaged with each other. Thus, the degree of freedom of the position of a lever before engaging male and female connectors is improved. Moreover, a first locking means is arranged for the male and female connectors to lock the connectors at the temporary engaging position where the lever is turned at the operating position, and a second locking means is provided for the lever and the other connector to lock the connectors when the lever is turned to the real engaging position.
