Pipe connector cover

Abstract

Disclosed is a pipe joint cover (c) that covers a joint (U) of a high-pressure fuel pipe (61) of an engine, wherein one end of a cylindrical cover part (12A, 12B) is blocked by a blocking part (22A, 22B) having a pipe insertion hole (23). The blocking part (22A, 22B) has a seal part (26) where the inner circumference that forms the pipe insertion hole (23) closely contacts the outer periphery of the high-pressure fuel pipe (61), and a receiving chamber (31) positioned on the outer side of the seal part (26), the bottom of which opens up to receive fuel that is sprayed from the joint (U). The bottom edge of the outer wall (28) of the reception chamber that forms the reception chamber (31) contacts the upper surface of the mounting nut (71) that constitutes the joint (U). Such a pipe joint cover can be easily installed, and can ensure that ejected fuel is prevented from being dispersed to the surroundings.
