Device for locking two mating connectors

摘要

A locking device for joining first and second mating connectors together comprises a pair of first locking members and a pair of second locking members respectively retained in opposite sides of the first and second connectors. Each first locking member has a globular engaging portion extending beyond the first connector. Each second locking member has a latch extending beyond the second connector which includes an opening and a transverse bar at a free end thereof. The transverse bar defines an inclined surface and has an arcuate construction for facilitating guidance of a corresponding engaging portion of the first locking member into the opening of the latch. The pair of engaging portions of the first locking members is accommodated in the pair of openings of the second locking members, thereby securely engaging the first and second locking members together.
