  • Publication number: 20230176528
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230172324
    Abstract: A connection structure includes: a connection pin that includes a first part and a second part between which a step is formed and that connects a first target and a second target by being inserted in an insertion hole; and a pin locker movable in a moving direction in a recess formed in either the first or second target. The pin locker has a pin engaging part that engages with the step of the connection pin and a pin insertion part. One of the recess and the pin locker has a first abutting part, and another has a first abutted part. When the pin locker is at a specific position and the first abutting part abuts the first abutted part, at least either an orientation or a position of the pin insertion part is limited such that the second part is allowed to pass through the pin insertion part.
