To easily, rapidly, and surely disassemble snap fit connections by one worker even if they are located at a plurality of positions.
In this snap fit connection structure, an engaged member is formed of at least a pair of leg piece parts 3 installed vertically from a second member 2 opposedly to each other so as to form a canti-lever shape and engagement claws 4 provided in the free ends of the leg piece parts and fitted into a through hole 6. Connection means 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 for engaging with and disengaging from a locked state where both engagement claws 4 are connected to each other in the state of the interval between the pair of engagement claws 4 being reduced less than the interval of the through-holes 6 and an unlocked state where the connection is released are installed between both engagement claws 4. Thus, in the locked state, the pair of engagement claws can be forcibly deformed in the direction for reducing the interval between the pair of engagement claws 4 to disengage the engagement claws 4 fitted to the through-holes 6 from the through-holes 6 and, with the elastic deformation maintained, the engagement members can be disengaged from the through-holes 6 integrally with the connection means.
