An electric junction boxincludes: a box main body; and a tubular guide portionprojecting from the box main bodyand guiding a plurality of electric wiresto an outside of the box main body. While the electric wiresare passed through the guide portion, a fixing memberis continuously wound from the guide portionto the electric wires. The guide portionis provided with an expanded portiongradually expanded toward an outside of the guide portionas the guide portionis extended from the box main bodyto an end portion away from the box main body

The waterproof structure of an electrical junction box herein prevents water from entering into the electrical junction box. The electrical junction box includes a main body having a groove formed on an outer wall thereof and a tubular wire cover composed of front and rear split covers. Electric wires are passed downward through the wire cover and fixed to a lower portion of the wire cover using a tape. The wire cover is slidably engaged with the groove of the junction box main body. The waterproof structure includes a step portion as a water stop formed on a rear wall of the wire cover. The rear wall is arranged in contact with or adjacent to a back wall of the groove so that the step portion prevents water from entering into the electrical junction box from bottom along the back wall of the groove through the electric wire.

The present invention provides a bracket configuration for retaining a washer within a washer case which has an opening for inserting the bracket therethrough so that the washer case is mounted to the bracket from above the washer. The bracket configuration specifically includes a hole configured to dispose the washer thereon and insert a bolt therethrough, and a rib formed along an edge of the opening so as to prevent or protect the washer from deviation or disconnection via a clearance gap created between the opening and the bracket.

An electrical wire jacketing configuration used in an electrical junction box herein has a body portion in which a recess is formed. The electrical wire jacketing configuration includes a gutter-shaped portion configured to pass an electrical wire therethrough, a slidable engaging portion formed in both end portions of the gutter-shaped portion in the across-the-width-direction, and is slidingly engabeable with a guide portion of the recess, and a projection extending from the gutter-shaped portion toward the recess so as to prevent possible erroneous or wrong attachment of the electrical wire jacketing configuration to the recess. The recess may have a secondary guide portion configured to proceed the projection into the recess such that the projection can engage with the recess. The electrical wire jacketing configuration to which the electrical wire is fixed slidably moves toward the recess in a longitudinal direction of the electrical wire, and thereby mates with the recess.

An electrical junction box includes a junction-box body having at least an outlet for discharging a liquid inside thereof to an outside thereof; and a bracket provided between the junction-box body and a vehicle-body panel. The bracket is adapted to attach the junction-box body to the vehicle-body panel such that the bracket resides in a lower space relative to the junction-box body in a vertical direction. The bracket includes a throughhole communicating with the outlet and adapted to guide the liquid from the outlet to the outside. The bracket may include a plurality of ribs spaced from each other and upstanding in a shape of a plate toward the vehicle-body panel such that the outlet is provided between the ribs. The ribs may be connected to each other via a foot of the bracket upstanding in a shape of a plate toward the vehicle-body panel.
