Abstract:
A connector includes a housing ( 10 ) that is connectable to a mating connector by rotating a lever ( 40 ) from an initial position to a connection position on the housing ( 10 ). The lever ( 40 ) has two arm plates ( 41 ) coupled by an operating portion ( 42 ). Ridge pieces ( 44 ) are on facing surfaces of the arm plates ( 41 ). Front and rear rails ( 22 A,  22 B) extend perpendicular to a pull-out direction of wires to guide the ridge piece ( 44 ) laterally. An introducing portion ( 26 ) is open on one end of the rear rail ( 22 B) to receive the ridge piece ( 44 ) between the rails ( 22 A,  22 B) from a position behind the housing ( 10 ). An escaping portion enables the ridge piece ( 44 ) to rotate from a position between the rails to the position behind the housing ( 10 ) as the lever ( 40 ) is rotated from the connection position to the initial position.

Claim (Index 1):
A lever-type connector, comprising:\n a housing ( 10 ,  210 ); a lever ( 40 ) rotatably mounted on the housing ( 10 ,  210 ) and rotatable between an initial position and a connection position; and wires pulled out rearward from the housing ( 10 ,  210 ); the lever-type connector being connectable to a mating connector by rotating the lever ( 40 ) from the initial position to the connection position; wherein: the lever ( 40 ) is U-shaped and has two arm plates ( 41 ,  141 ) coupled by an operating portion ( 42 ) and a ridge piece ( 44 ) on a facing surface of the arm plate ( 41 ,  141 ); the housing ( 10 ,  110 ) includes a fitting portion ( 13 ) fittable to the mating connector and a lever guide ( 70 ,  270 ) provided behind the fitting portion ( 13 ); and the lever guide ( 70 ,  270 ) includes: front and rear rails ( 22 A,  22 B) extending in a direction perpendicular to a pull-out direction of the wires and configured to guide the ridge piece ( 44 ) from a first end toward a second end, the lever ( 40 ) being assembled at the connection position when the ridge piece ( 44 ) reaches the second end; an introducing portion ( 26 ) open on a first end of the rear rail ( 22 B) and configured to introduce the ridge piece ( 44 ) into between the rails ( 22 A,  22 B) from a position behind the housing ( 10 ,  110 ); and an escaping portion ( 28 ) open on a second end of the rear rail ( 22 B) and configured to rotate the ridge piece ( 44 ) to a position behind the housing ( 10 ,  210 ) as the lever ( 40 ) is rotated from the connection position to the initial position.
