Abstract:
A connector connecting construction for achieving electrical connection between first and second connectors while mounting a first member and a second member, the first connector being mounted to the first member, the construction comprising:a supporting plate supported in spaced relationship to the second member, the supporting plate having a plurality of outer edges and opposed first and second surfaces and being formed with a hole extending between the surfaces and spaced from the outer edges, an insertion groove extending between the surfaces and further extending from the hole to one of said outer edges of the supporting plate, the groove defining a width that is less than cross sectional dimensions of the hole as measured in direction parallel to the first and second surfaces, the second connector being slidably disposed substantially adjacent the first surface of the supporting plate; a leg extending rigidly from the second connector and being dimensioned for slidable insertion through said groove, the leg passing through the hole of the supporting plate, the leg having a leading end and being dimensioned to define a clearance with respect to the hole so that the second connector can translate and rotate in sliding relationship to the first surface of the supporting plate within limits defined by the dimensions of the leg and the hole of the supporting plate; and a fastening portion at the leading end of the leg and slidably disposed substantially adjacent the second surface of the supporting plate, the fasting portion having cross sectional dimensions greater than the width of the groove and greater than the cross sectional dimensions of the hole in the supporting plate.
