## Abstract

Disclosed is a case for an electric junction box capable of preventing water that hits onto and bounds from a projection from invading into the case. The case for the electric junction box includes a synthetic resin made case main body, an upper cover, and a lower cover. Adjacent to a part where the case main body and the upper cover are joined a bracket for fixing car body that projects from an outer face of the case main body is disposed. The bracket is provided with a plurality of insertion holes for draining water. The plurality of insertion holes is also disposed throughout the bracket. In such the case, the water blown to the bracket falls down, without bounding, through the insertion holes, and thus making it possible to prevent the water from invading into the case.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A case for an electric junction box, comprising:
a case main body; and
a cover covering an opening of the case main body;
wherein a projection is disposed adjacent to a part where the case main body and the cover are joined, and projects from one of an outer face of the case main body and an outer face of the cover, and wherein an insertion hole for draining water is disposed in the projection.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insertion holes are disposed in the plural throughout the projection.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the projection includes an insertion part passing therethough an electric wire of a wire harness.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The case as claimed in claim 2, wherein the projection includes an insertion part passing therethough an electric wire of a wire harness.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the projection includes a bracket to be fixed to a fixing part with bolt.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The case as claimed in claim 2, wherein the projection includes a bracket to be fixed to a fixing part with bolt.

### Claim 7 (depends on 3)

The case as claimed in claim 3, wherein the projection includes a bracket to be fixed to a fixing part with bolt.

### Claim 8 (depends on 4)

The case as claimed in claim 4, wherein the projection includes a bracket to be fixed to a fixing part with bolt.
