ABSTRACT:
A substantially cylindrical socket (10) and a plug (20) to be inserted into the socket (10) are provided. The socket includes a string opening (11), a plug opening (12), an accommodation section (13) in communication with the string opening and the plug opening, a plurality of holding sections (14) for holding string ends (1A) accommodated in the accommodation section, and a widening section (17). The plug (20) is provided with a plurality of pressing legs (24) capable of being widened toward the respective holding sections. The widening section abuts to the pressing legs when the plug is almost fully inserted into the socket (i.e. when at least substantially more than half of the plug is inserted) to press the string ends to the holding sections.
