ABSTRACT:
A movable connector movably provisionally held by means of resilient arms onto an instrument panel of a motor vehicle, which has a connector portion held on a frame, a nut on a tubular wall of the frame to be engaged with a bolt on a fixed connector, and a primary resilient arm provided on the frame for provisionally engaging with a panel-opening, thus disengaging the primary arm from a panel portion by tightening the bolt, wherein the primary arm is provided on the tubular wall with a flexure-fulcrum of the primary arm being located on the side of the fixed connector and with an end portion of the primary arm being located on the side of the panel portion. The primary arm itself is located in a hole on the frame with an end side of the primary arm projecting over the hole. And, an inclined guide piece relative to the panel-opening is formed at the end portion of the primary arm. Further, a secondary resilient arm in contact with the panel portion is provided on the frame in the transverse middle portion of the frame and is located in a hole on the frame with a tip of the secondary arm projecting over the hole. Thus, down-sizing and space-saving of the movable connector can be realized.
