Waterproof Cover For An Electrical Plug

摘要

A waterproof cover (10) to enclose a plug assembly (11) of an electrical lead. The cover (10) including a first and a second hollow cover body (17, 18). The bodies (17, 18) being pivotally attached for angular relative movement between an open position and a closed position. The bodies (17, 18) in the closed position providing a chamber (9) to receive the plug assembly (11). The bodies (17, 18) having a longitudinal axis and each with opposite longitudinal end walls. Each end wall (22) being provided with a recess. The recesses of adjacent end walls (22) providing an aperture through which an electrical lead (12, 13) is to extend to an associated male or female plug portion (13, 15). A seal (25) extends between the body portions (17, 18) to completely surround the chamber (9) so that in the closed position the body portions sealingly close the chamber (9) to provide a water proof seal.

主权项

1. A waterproof cover adapted to enclose a plug assembly of an electrical lead, said cover including:
a first hollow cover body and a second hollow cover body, the first and second bodies being pivotally attached together for angular relative movement between an open position and a closed position, the bodies in the closed position providing a chamber to receive the plug assembly, the bodies defining a longitudinal axis and having longitudinally spaced apart oppositely located end walls; each said end wall having a recess, the recesses of adjacent end walls defining an aperture through which an electrical lead is to extend to an associated male or female plug portions to be located within said chamber in use; said cover including: a seal operatively associated with said body portions to surround said chamber so that in the closed position the body portions seal said chamber to provide a water proof seal to said cover, the seal frictionally engaging the leads located within said apertures to inhibit separation of the plug portions located in said chamber in use.
