<p>Follower pins 12 of a female housing 10 are fitted into cam grooves 35 of a lever 30 supported by axles on a male housing 20. These two housings 10 and 20 can be fitted together or separated by means of pivoting the lever 30 between a starting position, and an ending position. An upper supporting member 40 is formed at a right side of a hood 23, and a lower supporting member 44. When the lever 30 is pivoted to the starting position or the ending position, a tip thereof is supported by the supporting member 40 or 44, respectively, thereby protecting this tip from contact with other components, etc. The supporting members 40 and 44 protrude into dead space relative to the position of the housing 20. Consequently, no extra space is required when the housing 20 is placed in position, yet the lever 30 has increased length and angle of travel.</p> |
