ABSTRACT:
The connector includes a male member with an engaging portion on its outer face, a female member with an inner space for receiving the male member and a pair of manipulating members provided in the female member from opposite sides. The engaging portion of the male member is received through and behind the pair of manipulating members in the inner space. Each manipulating member has a part which enters the track region of the engaging portion and an elastic piece. The coupling of the male and female members is reliably obtained by two opposite side engagements between the engaging portion of the male member and the pair of manipulating members and maintained by the thrusting force by the elastic piece.
