Wire cover with two longitudinal halves connectable around electric wires

摘要

A cover ( 20 ) has opposed halves ( 21 ) with butting walls ( 28 ). An engaging projection ( 27 ) is formed in an accommodation concavity ( 30 ) rearward from an edge ( 29 ) of the butting wall ( 28 ). A portion between the engaging projection ( 27 ) and the edge ( 29 A) on a bottom surface of the accommodation concavity ( 30 ) defines a temporary holding surface ( 32 ) which is contacted by a connection portion ( 26 B) of a locking arm ( 26 ) on the opposed half ( 21 ). The temporary holding surface ( 32 ) stabilizes the posture of each half ( 21 ) before the locking arm ( 26 ) rides over the engaging projection ( 27 ). Thus, halves ( 21 ) do not incline and the connection operation is accomplished smoothly.
