ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for ascertaining whether a male connector is engaged with a female connector through a rotatable ring is provided. The mechanism includes a detection tool, an accommodating part formed on a connector housing of the male connector, and an engagement recess formed on the ring. The detection tool includes a body part, an engagement projection formed on the body part, and a strut part formed on the body part. The accommodating part has a large groove for receiving the body part of the detection tool and a small groove formed on a bottom of the large groove, for receiving the strut part of the detection tool. The engagement recess is provided for engagement with the engagement projection. When the engagement recess is brought into a position opposing the engagement projection, the detection tool can be slid in the accommodating part, so that the engagement projection engages with the engagement recess. On the contrary, when the engagement projection is not fitted into the engagement recess, the perfect fitting condition of the connectors cannot be realized.
