Abstract

A cable cover of this invention is used for guiding the orientation of a cable that extends out from a connector. This cable cover includes a pair of divided bodies, a cable passage, and a supporting portion. The pair of divided bodies have a pair of joining faces that are to be joined to each other. The cable passage includes a bent passage portion for housing a bent portion of the cable. The supporting portion extends as a curved surface along the forward direction of the cable in the bent passage portion, and is configured to be able to support an inward portion of the bend in the bent portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cable cover comprising:
a pair of divided bodies that respectively include a pair of joining faces that are to be joined to each other, the pair of divided bodies being joined together so as to sandwich a cable that extends from an electrical connector to the outside of the electrical connector;
a cable passage that includes a bent passage portion in which a predetermined bent portion of the cable is to be housed, the cable passage being provided inside the pair of divided bodies, and being configured to house at least a portion of the cable; and
a supporting portion that protrudes from a divided body out of the pair of divided bodies, the supporting portion extending as a curved surface along a forward direction of the cable in the bent passage portion, extending partially around the cable, and being configured to be able to support an inward portion of a bend in the bent portion.

2. The cable cover according to claim 1 ,
wherein the supporting portion is provided on one divided body out of the pair of divided bodies, and
the supporting portion protrudes from the joining face of the one divided body in a facing direction in which the joining faces of the pair of divided bodies face each other.

3. The cable cover according to claim 1 ,
wherein the supporting portion is formed on a column portion of one divided body out of the pair of divided bodies, and
a fitting hole portion is formed in another divided body out of the pair of divided bodies, the column portion being fitted into the fitting hole portion when the pair of joining faces are joined to each other.

4. The cable cover according to claim 3 , wherein the column portion is fixed to the fitting hole portion by press fitting.

5. The cable cover according to claim 1 ,
further comprising a passage defining portion that defines a portion of the cable passage, wherein the passage defining portion includes a protrusion portion formed on one divided body out of the pair of divided bodies, and a recession portion formed on another divided body out of the pair of divided bodies, the protrusion portion being fitted into the recession portion.
