Abstract

A waterproof protective cover includes an upper casing member and a lower casing member pivotably connected to the upper casing member through a hinge. When the upper casing member is fitted to the lower casing member, a storage chamber for accommodating a connection part of connected wires is defined by the casing members. The upper and lower casing members are provided on respective interior walls thereof with reinforcement ribs which extend in the longitudinal direction of the casing members and which are positioned between the electrical wires accommodated in the casing members. With the arrangement, it is possible to increase the rigidity of the upper and lower casing members.
