<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lock structure in which a lock coupling between a body and a cap of a protector or the like is hardly disengaged and an insertion force upon the lock coupling is decreased. <P>SOLUTION: A sidewall of the body has a flexible piece by forming a pair of slits from an upper end face of the sidewall, and a locking pawl is formed protruding on an outer face of the flexible piece to form a lance-shaped male lock portion. A holding frame is protrudingly formed from an outer surface outside the pair of slits, like a bridge over the flexible piece, forming an insertion space between the holding frame and the locking pawl. The cap has a female lock portion constituted of a locking frame having a lock hole. The locking frame of the female lock portion is pushed into the insertion space between the male lock portion and the holding frame; a lower frame of the locking frame is made to climb over the locking pawl and locked with a lower face of the locking pawl, while the locked portions are enclosed by the holding frame; and a lower portion of the flexible piece is protruding from a lower end of the holding frame. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
