Abstract
A waterproof cap is pivotally mounted for opening and closing at a position near to a connection open portion of a charging connector. The waterproof cap is provided with a stopper member for preventing the opening/closing movement of the waterproof cap at an intermediate stop position during an opening stroke of the cap. At least one of the stopper member and a portion against which the stopper member can abut is resiliently deformable. The stopper member can be contacted with the stopper member-abutting portion in such a condition that the waterproof cap can be held at the intermediate stop position and that because of the above resilient deformation, the stopper member can move into a position beyond the intermediate stop position.
