Abstract
A waterproof protective cover includes an upper casing member having bores formed at both endwalls in a longitudinal direction thereof to pass the electrical wires therethrough and a lower casing member pivotably connected to the upper casing member through a hinge attached to each sidewall of the upper and lower casing members. The lower casing member also has bores formed at both endwalls in a longitudinal direction thereof to pass the electrical wires therethrough. A storage chamber is defined by the upper and lower casing members when the former is engaged with the latter. Being filled up with an insulating sealant, the chamber serves to accommodate a connection part of the connected wires. A reservoir chamber for receiving the insulating sealant flowing out of the storage chamber is arranged between the bores of the upper and lower casing members and the storage chamber. Further, the upper casing member has a seal plate formed on a sidewall thereof. When the upper casing member is engaged with the lower casing member, the seal plate is accommodated inside the other lower casing member, whereby the outflow of the sealant through a seam of the sidewalls of the upper and lower casing members can be checked.
