Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electric wire cover includes: a first electric wire cover including a wire arrangement space like a groove opened on one side, and attached to a wire lead-out end of a connector housing; and a second electric wire cover formed integrally with the first electric wire cover through a hinge portion, and covering the wire arrangement space. A guide groove is provided in one of the first and second electric wire covers, and extends in a direction perpendicular to a rotation axis of the hinge portion. A rotation restriction rib is provided in the other electric wire cover and extends in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis. The rotation restriction rib slides in the guide groove during rotating operation by the hinge portion so as to restrict rocking of the electric wire covers relative to each other.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An electric wire cover comprising: a first electric wire cover which includes a wire arrangement space like a groove opened on one side, and which is adapted to be attached to a wire lead-out end of a connector housing; and a second electric wire cover which is formed integrally with the first electric wire cover through a hinge portion, and which is configured to cover an open portion of the wire arrangement space openably/closably, wherein a guide groove is provided in one of the first and second electric wire covers, and extends in a direction perpendicular to a rotation axis of the hinge portion, and a rotation restriction rib is provided in the other of the first and second electric wire covers and extends in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the hinge portion, and the rotation restriction rib is configured to slide in the guide groove during rotating operation by the hinge portion so as to restrict rocking of the first and second electric wire covers relative to each other. 2 . The electric wire cover according to claim. 1 , wherein the guide groove and the rotation restriction rib are provided in positions close to the hinge portion. 3 . The electric wire cover according to claim 2 , wherein the first electric wire cover includes a wire restriction wall which is configured to abut against a side surface of an electric wire inserted into the wire arrangement space, so as to position the electric wire, and the rotation restriction rib is formed integrally with the wire restriction wall and formed into a wall-like shape perpendicular to the wire restriction wall. 4 . The electric wire cover according to claim 3 , wherein the wire restriction wall is integrally formed into an L-shape to position the electric wire in an L-shape.
