Abstract

A connector cover includes an opening closing cover. The connector cover is configured to be mounted on a connector so as to cover a part which is drawn out from a wiring member of the connector. A connector includes a lever to be rotated so as to assist fitting with and releasing from a mating connector. The opening closing cover is to open and close an opening on an operation side of a lock portion which locks the lever at a fitting completed position.

Claims (19)

1. A connector cover comprising:

an opening closing cover,

wherein the connector cover is configured to be mounted on a connector so as to cover a part of the connector from which a wiring member is drawn out,

wherein the connector includes a lever to be rotated so as to assist fitting with and releasing from a mating connector, and

wherein the opening closing cover is to open and close an opening on an operation side of a lock portion which locks the lever at a fitting completed position.

2. An assembly structure of a connector with a connector cover, comprising:

a connector;

a connector cover,

wherein the connector includes a lever to be rotated so as to assist fitting with and releasing from a mating connector and covers a periphery of a lock portion which locks the lever at a fitting completed position,

wherein the connector cover is mounted on the connector so as to cover a part of the connector from which a wiring member is drawn out, and

wherein the connector cover includes an opening closing cover which is to open and close an opening on an operation side of the lock portion.

3. The assembly structure according to claim 2 ,

wherein the lock portion includes an elastic arm portion having a free end on an end of a drawing direction of the wiring member of the connector,

wherein the elastic arm portion is elastically deformed from and restored to a fixed end of the elastic arm portion as a fulcrum so that the lever is locked and unlocked,

wherein the connector includes an arm excessive displacement preventing wall portion that is erected in a shape of a bridge to surround the free end from both sides to an upper surface, so as to prevent excessive displacement of the elastic arm portion,

wherein the connector cover includes a pair of misalignment preventing ribs that are arranged to sandwich the arm excessive displacement preventing wall portion between both side end surfaces when the connector cover is completely mounted on the connector, so as to prevent deviation of the connector cover from the connector, and

wherein the opening closing cover is fixed to the pair of misalignment preventing ribs to sandwich the pair of misalignment preventing ribs in a direction that the misalignment preventing ribs face each other.

4. The assembly structure according to claim 3 ,

wherein the arm excessive displacement preventing wall portion is disposed between the lever locked by the lock portion at a fitting completed position and the opening closing cover and is in contact with the lever and the opening closing cover.
