Abstract
In a case connection structure for connecting connection end portions of both case members, a boss portion is formed in one of the connection end portions to protrude to the other one of the connection end portions, and a recess portion into which the boss portion is fitted is formed in the other one of the connection end portions. A slit is provided in the boss portion, and a press-fitting portion is provided in the recess portion to be press-fitted into the slit. While the boss portion is fitted into the recess portion, the press-fitting portion is press-fitted into the slit to expand the boss portion to an outer side, so that an outer surface of the boss portion press-contacts the recess portion.
