Abstract
An attachment (10) for preventing a cover (4) from falling off from a housing (1) is provided. The cover (4) includes an elastic member (54) on each of the right and lefts ends thereof. The elastic members are made elastically deformable by forming slits (56) in the cover (4). The elastic members (54) each have a protrusion (52). In order to mount the cover (4) to the housing (1), the protrusions (52) are inserted into respective ones of holes (7) formed in the housing (1) by inwardly deforming and, then, restoring the elastic members (54). After mounting the cover (4) to the housing (1), the cover falling-off preventing attachment (10) is attached to the cover (4), with side walls 18 of the attachment (10) positioned to extend into the respective slits (56), whereby the deformation of the elastic members (54) is prevented.
