ABSTRACT:
A locking lever is formed to include a pair of legs16upright from the wall of a first connector10and a pair of free ends17which continuously cross the pair of legs and provide a locking portion18.A releasing lever20is formed to return to the legs from the free ends17.A second connector40is provided with a hitting portion which hits against the end of the second connector40.When the releasing lever is pushed, the free ends17are lifted by the theory of leverage at the furculum of the hitting portion, thereby releasing the locking between the engagement portions18, 50.The releasing lever20includes a pair of arms21and a pressing portion23which continuously crosses the pair of arms. This configuration provides a connector locking structure which can prevent the base of the locking lever from being deformed and improve the feeling of clicking in coupling and capability of releasing the locking.
