Abstract
A retainer ( ) has left and right pivotally displaceable locking pieces ( ) and is held at a partial locking position on a housing ( ) by the engagement of engageable portions ( ) at the leading ends of the locking pieces ( ) with partial locking projections ( ) on the housing ( ). Thus, even if the retainer ( ) is pushed inadvertently, such a push is restricted by the contact of the contact surfaces with the restricting surfaces ( ). Pressable portions ( ) of the locking pieces ( ) can be pressed while holding the opposite side surfaces of the retainer ( ) by fingers. This causes the locking pieces ( ) to displace pivotally outward and the engageable portions ( ) disengage from the restricting surfaces ( ). Thus, the retainer ( ) can be pushed to a full locking position.
