Abstract
Abstract A connection structure of a movable connector includes: a movable connector having a housing body; a panel wall having a panel hole in which the movable connector is inserted; a complementary connector to be coupled with the movable connector; and an elastic water-proofing packing which is fit over an outer periphery of the housing body. The elastic packing has a peripheral groove in which an inner peripheral edge of the panel wall abutting the panel hole is fit. In this configuration, the connection structure for a movable connector can be used in the place containing water.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A connection structure of a movable connector comprising: a movable connector having an insulating housing body; a panel wall having a panel hole therein in which said movable connector is inserted; a complementary connector to be coupled with said movable connector; and an elastic water-proofing packing which is fit over an outer periphery of said housing body, wherein said elastic water-proofing packing has an inner sealing portion extending toward said complementary connector in a coupling direction between said movable connector and said complementary connector and overlaying said housing body and said complementary connector has a covering portion into which said inner sealing portion is to be fit; said covering portion has a taper formed on its side of said movable connector; and said inner sealing portion has a protrusive strip formed in a direction orthogonal to said coupling direction and to be engaged with an inner face of said covering portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
