Fixing mechanism for connector to structural object

In a fixing mechanism for a connector to a structural object by which a pair of connectors are combined with an opening portion of the structural object through a panel combining arm, in which a locking arm for locking connector housings together is provided at one connector housing of said pair of connectors, and a locking part for said locking arm and a panel combining arm for said structural object are provided at the other connector housing of said pair of connectors, said fixing mechanism for the connector to the structural object comprising:

• an engagement securing member having a resilient locking piece mounted on the one connector housing in such a manner as moving freely toward engaging direction thereof;
• a combination securing member having both an elastic locking arm with an activating projection activated by said resilient locking piece and an engagement locking projection for said panel combining arm mounted on the other connector housing in such a manner as moving freely toward the engaging position;
• an engagement-release driving rod for said resilient locking piece;
• and
• a front locking projection and a rear locking projection for said elastic locking arm, wherein when said connector housings are not in engagement with each other, causing said elastic locking arm of said engagement securing member to engage with said front locking projection, said engagement stopping projection inhibits the displacement of said panel combining arm so as to avoid the combination toward said structural object, while when said connector housings are in engagement with each other, said engagement-release driving rod causes said resilient locking piece to displace so as to release a temporal lock of said resilient locking piece caused by the entering of said resilient locking piece toward the other connector housing, and it causes said elastic locking arm to displace upward by contact between said resilient locking arm and said activating projection activated thereby, said engagement securing member is capable of being retreated by releasing the engagement between said resilient locking piece and said activating projection, whereby said opening portion of said structural object is capable of combining with said panel combining arm with said displacement-inhibition of said panel combining arm released.
