Abstract
A connector includes a cylindrical connector housing having through-holes extending in a circumferential direction formed on right and left, a cylindrical male member to be entered into the connector housing and having a circumferential groove conforming with the through-holes in a state wherein the male member enters into the connector housing; and an elastic lock member including an intermediate portion, and right-and-left leg portions projecting to right and left from the intermediate portion to be received into the through-holes. Sliding inclined surfaces to be engaged with loose ends of the leg portions of the lock member are provided on an outer periphery of the connector housing. The lock member takes an engagement position where the leg portions enter into the circumferential grooves from the through-holes; and a release position where the leg portions escape toward the through-holes from the circumferential groove.
