Abstract

A lever having pivotal movement-purpose cam grooves is pivotally mounted on one connector. Engagement pins for the pivotal movement-purpose cam grooves are formed on the other connector. Auxiliary engagement pins are formed on the other connector in juxtaposed relation to the engagement pins, respectively. Sliding movement-purpose slanting portions, extending transversely of the lever for cooperating respectively with the auxiliary engagement pins, are formed in the lever. The pivotal movement-purpose cam groove has a communication groove for receiving the engagement pin. Movement-purpose elongate grooves for cooperating respectively with lever pivot pins are formed in the one connector, and extend in a direction of projection of the lever. A pair of retaining holes for a lock projection are formed in the one connector, and are spaced from each other in the lever-projecting direction.
