Abstract
A structure for locking two workpieces includes: a first workpiece provided with a provisional locking arm and a complete locking arm which are in parallel; a second workpiece provided with an arm receiving portion having a provisional engaging area and a complete engaging area which are to be engaged with the provisional locking portion and the complete locking portion, respectively and a pair of arm guiding portions and on both sides of the arm receiving portion, the arm receiving portion being to advance in between the provisional locking arm and the complete locking arm. One of the arm guiding portions is provided with a slope for slidably supporting a tip of the complete locking arm when the complete locking arm climbs over the complete engaging portion. In such a configuration, inadvertent complete-locking or release thereof of two workpieces can be prevented.
