Independent Claim
160 words
A pair of lever-operated connectors including one
and an other connector which are connected together by
using a lever (10; 30; 50); said one connector comprising a connector housing (1;
20; 40) and said lever (10; 30; 50) for connecting said
pair of connectors; and said lever (10; 30; 50) comprising pins (13; 33; 53); wherein said connector housing (1; 20; 40) of said one
connector is characterised by further comprising: positioning notches (5; 25; 45) for positioning said
pins (13; 33; 53) of said lever (10; 30; 50) to insert, slanting guide surfaces (7; 27; 47) arranged beneath
said positioning notches (5; 25; 45) for elastically deforming
said lever (10; 30; 50) by insertion of said pins
(13; 33; 53) into said slanting guide surfaces (7; 27; 47),
and bearing holes (6; 26; 46) arranged beneath said slanting
guide surfaces (7; 27; 47) for receiving and pivotally
supporting said pins (13; 33; 53) of said lever (10; 30;
50).
