Patent attributes
When the movable member (30) is at the open position, the cam portion (33) of the movable member (30) is out of contact with the pressure receiving portion of a lever arm (21), making it possible to insert a flat cable into the connector on the contact side. When the movable member (30) is at the closed position, the cam portion (33) comes into contact with the pressure receiving portion that consists of a shoulder (21D) and a concave indentation (21B). While the movable member (30) is moving to the closed position, the cam portion (33) pushes the shoulder (21D) to provide the pressure receiving portion with the highest pressure. When the movable member (30) reaches the closed position, the cam portion (33) rests in the concave indentation (21B) while maintaining a pressure less than the highest pressure.
