曲げると、カバー６のカバー本体８が鎖線で示す
如く浮上つてしまつて接続端子４の一部が露出
し、カバーとしての役目が半減される欠点があつ
た。 A conventional cover for a battery electrical connector is constructed as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. That is, the battery terminal 2 protrudes from the battery 1.
A connecting terminal 4 is provided at the tip of the electric wire 3 to be connected to the battery terminal 2, and after the connecting terminal 4 is fitted to the battery terminal 2, a bolt and nut 5 is tightened. By doing so, connect terminal 4 to battery terminal 2.
are now connected. A soft vinyl chloride cover 6 is attached to the outside of the connection terminal 4 connected to the battery terminal 2, and this cover 6 has a cylindrical mounting portion 7 through which the electric wire 3 is inserted, and a connection terminal A cover main body 8 that is placed over the cover 4 is integrally formed. Therefore, if the electric wire 3 is bent as shown by the chain line as shown in FIG. 4 with the cover 6 placed over the connection terminal 4, the cover body 8 of the cover 6 will float up as shown by the chain line and the connection terminal This had the disadvantage that part of 4 was exposed and its role as a cover was halved.

前記のような欠点を排除するために、カバー本
体８の内側には前記接続端子４に形成されるフラ
ンジ部１１の下縁に係合される突部１７が形成さ
れており、この突部１７によつて頂板１６との間
に溝１８が形成されている。またその突部１７は
カバー本体８の内側において半円よりも大なる円
弧で形成されている。１９はカバー本体８の内側
に突設せしめたストツパであつて、このストツパ
１９は、このカバー６を接続端子４に被せたと
き、ボルトナツト５と係合されるように形成され
ているので、電線３２お下方に折り曲げてもカバ
ー本体８が浮上る不都合が解消されるものであ
る。 In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, a protrusion 17 is formed on the inside of the cover body 8 to engage with the lower edge of the flange portion 11 formed on the connection terminal 4. A groove 18 is formed between the top plate 16 and the top plate 16. Further, the protrusion 17 is formed inside the cover main body 8 into an arc larger than a semicircle. Reference numeral 19 denotes a stopper protruding from the inside of the cover body 8, and this stopper 19 is formed so as to be engaged with the bolt nut 5 when the cover 6 is placed over the connection terminal 4, so that the electric wire 32. This eliminates the inconvenience of the cover main body 8 floating even when the cover body 8 is bent downward.

尚９は接続端子４の圧着部、１０はその袖片、
１１はそのフランジ部、１２はボルトナツト５に
よつて袖片１０に共締めされている補助端子を示
す。 In addition, 9 is the crimp part of the connection terminal 4, 10 is its sleeve piece,
Reference numeral 11 indicates a flange portion thereof, and reference numeral 12 indicates an auxiliary terminal which is fastened together with the sleeve piece 10 by bolts and nuts 5.

しかしながら、このような従来のバツテリ用電

業時のカバー６の着脱に多大なる手間がかかり、
作業性が悪いといつた問題点があつた。 However, in the case of such a conventional battery electric connector cover, the cylindrical mounting part 7 and the cover main body 8 are integrally constructed, and the electric wire 3 is inserted into the cylindrical mounting part 7 in advance. Therefore, for example, when tightening bolts and nuts 5 when attaching or detaching the connecting terminal 4 and battery terminal 2, the cover 6 must be moved along the electric wire 3 to expose the connecting terminal 4. Furthermore, when the work is completed, the cover 6 must be moved again along the electric wire 3 and returned to its original position, so it takes a lot of effort to attach and remove the cover 6 when turning the bolts and nuts 5. ,
There was a problem with poor workability.

[Purpose of invention]

本考案はかかる従来の問題点に着目してなされ

とを目的とするものである。 The present invention has been made by focusing on such conventional problems, and in a cover in which the cylindrical attachment part and the cover body are integrally formed as described above, the cover body is placed near the cylindrical attachment part of the cover body. By forming a bellows part that can be raised up, the cover body can be removed from the connection terminal 4 or attached to the connection terminal 4 very easily and reliably. The purpose is to provide a cover for a connector.
