When the button member (770) is pressed by the user, the contact area between the button member (770) and the hook member (750) can be reduced or minimized by the hook opening (754). Friction between the button member (770) and the hook member (750) can be reduced or minimized. The hook body portion (756) can be coupled to the catch portion (725) of the second cover member (720) before the button member (770) is pressed by the user. The hook body portion (756) can restrict the forward (or downward) movement of the hook member (750) toward the hook groove (543) by the catch portion (725) of the second cover member (720). The hook body portion (756) may include a first inclined surface (911) corresponding to the button inclined surface (772) of the button member (770). The first inclined surface (911) and the button inclined surface (772) may be formed at an angle with respect to the pressing direction (D1) of the button member (770) and the retraction direction (D2) of the hook member (750), respectively. The first inclined surface (911) and the button inclined surface (772) may be formed to be inclined at the same angle or at different angles. For example, the first inclined surface (911) and the button inclined surface (772) may be formed to be inclined at an acute angle (e.g., 45 degrees).

[0106] According to one embodiment, the hook member (750) can move up and down depending on whether the button member (770) is pressed. According to one embodiment, as the button member (770) is pressed by a user, the button member (770) can press the hook member (750). The first inclined surface of the hook member (750) can move upward toward the plate area (783) of the second housing along the button inclined surface (772) of the button member (770) while in contact with the button inclined surface (772) of the button member (770). The hook rear end (758) of the hook member (750) can retract into the space between the first bulkhead (781) and the second bulkhead (782) of the second housing.
