<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the size of a protective cover and facilitate the mounting of the protective cover by setting the shape and size of the protective cover without forming its size to allow a tool used for the installation of an oxygen sensor to be inserted therein as in a conventional protective cover. <P>SOLUTION: The protective cover 31 for the oxygen sensor 11 fitted to an exhaust pipe 1 is formed of metal plate with spring property, and a cutout K for leading a lead wire 22 into an annular inside is formed in the protective cover. The protective cover comprises an annular mounting part 32 having spring property and fitted by tightening the outer peripheral surface of the oxygen sensor 11. The lead wire 22 is allowed to enter from the cutout K of the protective cover 31 into the annular inner part of the mounted oxygen sensor 11, and fitted to the oxygen sensor by the spring property of the mounting annular part 32. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
