Abstract:
A slide-type lever release mechanism comprising:a lock lever having a base section at front end thereof, a first lock engaging member provided relatively close to said base section for engagement with a second lock engaging member of a mating connector to lock plugging with the mating connector and a first acting surface at a rear end thereof; andslidable means with a second acting surface slidable on said first acting surface of said lock lever by a predetermined stroke for flexing said lock lever at said base section away from said second lock engaging member to thereby release said engagement between said first and second lock engaging members, whereinsaid first acting surface of said lock lever consists of a single sloping surface and,said second acting surface of said slidable means comprises at least two sloping surfaces having slope angles different to each other; a first sloping surface having a slope angle substantially identical to that of said first acting surface of said lock lever and a second sloping surface having a slope angle less than that of said first sloping surface, thus providing at least two acting surface sections.
