Since the duct hoses 1 and 6 have a predetermined hardness, their thickness does not change and the cables 5 and 7 do not change.
The necessary minimum clearance must be ensured in consideration of the storage capacity of the duct hose, and therefore the duct hose 5 tends to be larger than the cross-sectional size (thickness) when the cables 5 and 7 are bundled. However, there was a problem that the size of the cross section of 7 was unnecessarily large and the functionality and aesthetics were poor.

The duct hose 1 is designed such that the cable 5 is inserted from the cut portion 4, but due to the hardness of the duct hose 1, a large force is required to open the cut portion 4, so that the cable 5 There was a problem that the insertability of 5 was poor.

On the other hand, since the duct hose 6 has no cut portion,
The cable 7 must be inserted through the openings 8 at both ends,
Especially when the duct hose 6 and the cable 7 are long, it is troublesome to insert one end of the cable 7 from one opening 8 of the duct hose 6 and to pass it through the opening 8 on the opposite side, and it takes time. It was In addition, the cable 7
There was a problem that one end of the device had to be removed from the device.

The vinyl cover can prevent drip and dust, but a member for bundling the cables (
For example, a band is required separately, and the vinyl cover cannot provide the necessary strength for cable protection. Further, the vinyl cover has a problem that wrinkles are likely to occur and the appearance may be impaired. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cable protection cover that is easy to clean and can improve the insertability and aesthetics of the cable.
