Patent ID: 8337234

Claim:
A locking connector comprising: a first head part which is a flat connector head having a mating part formed at a fore-end; a plate-like base covering a plate surface of the first head part, the plate surface located along a direction from a base end of the first head part to the fore-end of the first head part; a supporting part positioned along a plate surface of the base, one end of the supporting part being supported by the base; a first resilient part positioned along the plate surface of the base, one end of the first resilient part being supported by the supporting part, the first resilient part being resiliently deformable in a first direction along the plate surface of the base, the first direction being perpendicular to the direction from the base end toward the fore-end, the other end of the first resilient part being movable along the first direction; a first arm base end part extending along the base from the other end of the first resilient part to an outside of a first edge of the base, the first edge located along a first side surface of the first head part; a first arm part extending along the first side surface of the first head part from the first arm base end part in the direction from the base end toward the fore-end, the first arm part being positioned apart from the base and the first head part; a first latching part formed on the first arm part, the first latching part being a protrusion protruding outwardly away from the first side surface; a second resilient part positioned along the plate surface of the base, one end of the second resilient part being supported by the supporting part, the second resilient part being resiliently deformable in a second direction along the plate surface of the base, the second direction being perpendicular to the direction from the base end toward the fore-end, the other end of the second resilient part being movable along the second direction; a second arm base end part extending along the base from the other end of the second resilient part to an outside of a second edge of the base, the second edge located along a second side surface of the first head part; a second arm part extending along the second side surface of the first head part from the second arm base end part in the direction from the base end toward the fore-end, the second arm part being positioned apart from the base and the first head part; and a second latching part formed on the second arm part, the second latching part being a protrusion protruding outwardly away from the second side surface; wherein the supporting part is positioned between the first resilient part and the second resilient part, and the first head part is positioned between the first arm part and the second arm part.
