Abstract
A connecting structure includes a connecting pin, a pin catch, a biasing member, and a holder. The connecting pin has a first portion, a second portion thicker than the first portion, and a step therebetween and connects a connecting object and a connected object (objects) by being inserted into their insertion holes. The pin catch moves in a recess in one of the objects in moving directions that are not an extending direction of the insertion holes and has a pin engagement portion that engages the step. The biasing member biases the pin catch in one of the moving directions. The holder is on the one of the objects and transitions, in response to user operation, to a first state where the holder and the biasing member holds the pin catch or a second state where the pin catch is detachable from the recess.
