Abstract

A wire cover includes a hood top surface, a first hood side surface and a second hood side surface. A hood side notched groove is formed in the first hood side surface so as to be notched from a tip edge toward a base end of the first hood side surface while leaving the base end. A hood side deficient portion is formed in the second hood side surface. The hood side deficient portion is deficient extending from a tip edge to a base end of the second hood side surface. A hood top surface deficient portion is formed in the hood top surface and is partially deficient of the hood top surface positioned near the second hood side surface. The hood top surface deficient portion is adjacent to the hood side deficient portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A wire cover for a connector which is configured to be attached to the connector, and guides a wire led out from the connector in a wire lead-out direction, the wire cover comprising
a hood top surface which faces the led-out wire; and
a first hood side surface and a second hood side surface which are extended from the hood top surface toward the connector in a direction substantially parallel to the wire lead-out direction,
wherein a hood side notched groove is formed in the first hood side surface so as to be notched from a tip edge positioned in an extending direction of the first hood side surface toward a base end of the first hood side surface while leaving the base end;
wherein a hood side deficient portion is formed in the second hood side surface, the hood side deficient portion is deficient extending from a tip edge positioned in an extending direction of the second hood side surface to a base end of the second hood side surface; and
wherein a hood top surface deficient portion is formed in the hood top surface and is partially deficient of the hood top surface positioned near the second hood side surface, and the hood top surface deficient portion being adjacent to the hood side deficient portion.

2. The wire cover according to claim 1 , wherein in the hood top surface, a hood top surface rib is formed on a surface being opposite side to a surface facing the wire along a direction crossing the wire lead-out direction.

3. The wire cover according to claim 1 , wherein the hood top surface and the second hood side surface are formed to surround the hood side deficient portion and the hood top deficient portion; and
wherein the hood side notched groove and the hood side deficient portion are formed to face each other.

4. The wire cover according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a binding band which includes a flexible band portion, and a head portion having a binding hole through which the band portion passes in an undetachable manner,
wherein the band portion is guided to the hood side notched groove, and passes through the hood side deficient portion and the hood top deficient portion; and
wherein the head portion abuts on a periphery of the hood side notched groove.
