Abstract
A universal snapping connector includes two fixed members each provided with a hollow extension having a guide slot, two movable members each pivotally connected with a respective fixed member and each provided with a protrusion having a locking hole that is movable to align with the guide slot of the respective fixed member, and two elastic plates each movably mounted in the guide slot and each inserted into and locked in the locking hole of a respective movable member. Thus, a user only needs to push each of the elastic plates to lock each of the movable members onto each of the fixed members so that the universal snapping connector is locked easily and quickly.
