Abstract

A protective cover for accommodating an end connecting part of a bundle of wires includes a box-type of casing body provided with a storage chamber to accommodate the end connecting part therein and a lid pivotably connected to the casing body to close the opened upper portion thereof. A bottom wall of the casing body is provided with a stop in the shape of a rectangular plate. With the arrangement, when accommodating the ends of the wires in the casing, the stop intrudes into the wires. Under this condition, even if the wires are pulled outside the casing, the end connecting part of the wires is hooked by the stop, whereby the wires can be retained in the casing without being drawn therefrom.
