(54) Lock structure and cover lock structure of terminal cap


(57) At the time of cancellation of a lock retained state, in conjunction with the withdrawal of a lock arm 1, a thin-walled lock receiving portion 14 is pulled up by a lock portion 4, which causes the thin-walled lock receiving portion 14 to deflect toward the outer side and a pair of side walls 9 to deflect toward the inner side. At this time, free play ΔG disappears, and the lock portion 4 is movably supported in such that both side portions 9 are clamped by a pair of lock guide portions 15. Subsequently, when the lock portion 4 is removed from a retaining wall 13, the cancellation of the lock retained state is completed.
