ABSTRACT:
A wire cover (1) has a main body (10) and a lid (30) coupled via a bendable hinge (40). A set region (R) is defined between outer ends (Pa, Pb) which spaced from an end (40)aof the hinge (40) coupled to the lid (30) and an end (40b) thereof coupled to the main body (10) by a specified distance (L) toward a middle part of the hinge (40). A slit (41) is formed in the set region (R) and is not formed at the ends (40a,40b) of the hinge (40). Thus, the ends (40a,40b) of the hinge (40) are not bent and stress does not concentrate there even if the hinge (40) is bent repeatedly. Thus, cracks and fractures are unlikely to occur at the ends (40a,40b).
