PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lock member for connector connection having a new structure which can connect a male connector and a female connector to each other with high reliability, and allows a male connector to be attached to or detached from a female connector by simple operation.SOLUTION: A pair of locking operation pieces 18, 18 are arranged which are located on an outer peripheral side of a sleeve 16 externally inserted and attached to a female connector 14 and extend in a lengthwise direction of the sleeve 16. An intermediate part in a lengthwise direction of each locking operation piece 18 is connected to the sleeve 16 by a connection part 20. One end side in the lengthwise direction of each locking operation piece 18 is provided with a locking pawl 22 locked to an outer peripheral part of a male connector 12, and the other end side in the lengthwise direction of each locking operation piece 18 serves as an operation part 26. The operation parts 26, 26 of the pair of locking operation pieces 18, 18 are pinched with fingers, whereby the locking pawls 22, 22 are mutually opened to release the locking to the male connector 12.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】雄コネクタと雌コネクタを高い信頼性をもって接続できると共に、簡単な操作によって雄コネクタと雌コネクタの着脱を可能とすることができる、新規な構造のロック部材を提供すること。【解決手段】雌コネクタ14へ外挿されて取り付けられるスリーブ16の外周側に位置して、スリーブ16の長さ方向に延びる一対のロック用操作片18,18が配されており、各ロック用操作片18の長さ方向の中間部分が連結部20によってスリーブ16に連結されていると共に、各ロック用操作片18の長さ方向一方の端部側には雄コネクタ12の外周部分に係止される係止爪20が設けられている一方、各ロック用操作片18の長さ方向他方の端部側が操作部26とされており、一対のロック用操作片18,18の操作部26,26を手指で摘むことで係止爪20,20を相互に開いて雄コネクタ12への係止を解除することができるようにした。【選択図】図2
