The headrest side unit 41 includes a second connector 43. The guiding mechanism 60 includes a guiding rib 62 and a guiding groove 63. The guiding rib 62 is projected from an outer wall of the first connector 4. The guiding groove 63 is concaved from an inner wall of the second connector 43. When the connectors 4, 43 are connected to each other, the guiding rib 62 is inserted into the guiding groove 63 to position the connectors 4, 43 around respective axes of the connectors 4, 43.

Abstract: The connector unit includes: a first holder to be attached to a first article; a first connector to be received in the first holder; a second holder to be attached to a second article; and a second connector to be received in the second holder to be coupled with the first connector, wherein the first holder includes a hold engaging part having an arm body and a projection which engages with the first connector, the connector unit further includes: an engagement-removing part which removes an engagement between the hold engaging part and the first connector when the first and second connectors are coupled with eachother; and an entrance-permitting part provided on the second holder to allow the projection of the disengaged hold engaging part to enter therein after the first and second connectors move with respect to the first holder.

Abstract: A connector is provided, by which deformation or damage of a locking arm is prevented, a secure holding force of the locking arm is assured, and the connector is stably held in a hole of a panel. The connector includes: a first connector housing to be allowed to pass through a hole of a panel; a locking arm formed on the first connector housing, the locking arm being resiliently deformed to be locked to an inner edge of the hole when the first connector housing is allowed to pass through the hole; a second connector housing to be fit to the first connector housing; and a displacement preventing means for preventing the locking arm from being displaced in a direction crossing a direction in which the locking arm is resiliently deformed.

Abstract: A connecting mechanism for a connector, which can align the connector in a rotating direction and smoothly align the connector for fitting with the mating connector, has a bracket, a holder, a connector and a plate. The bracket has a receiving body receiving the holder, and receives the holder in a receiving hole arranged in the receiving body. The receiving hole has an abut rib projecting from an inner surface in a radial direction. The holder receives the connector 4 and has an elastically deformable first positioning arm. When the holder is received in the receiving hole and fixed in the receiving body with the plate, the abut rib abuts on the first positioning arm, and the holder is aligned in a rotating direction about the receiving body.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a waterproof grommet structure which can be taken apart into its constituent pieces, i.e., a grommet, a connector, a terminal, etc., even after filled with waterproofing agent, to allow its maintenance to be performed. A waterproofing agent tank 2c is isolated from a hollow portion 2b which is consecutively arranged with a connector rib 2a, to form a separate compartment. The waterproofing agent tank 2c comprises an inlet 2d formed as an aperture thereon and configured to feed waterproofing agent therethrough; a first through-hole 2e penetrating between the inside of the tank 2c and the hollow portion 2b to form a link therebetween; and a second through-hole 2f penetrating between the inside of the tank 2c and an external environment to form a link therebetween.
