Electrical insulator and conductor cover

An electrical conductor cover comprising:

• an elongated, open-ended member formed of resilient, electrically insulative material,
• said member being configured to present an upper tubular, conductor-receiving section, and a pair of elongated, depending, side-by-side, laterally spaced closure legs extending from the tubular section,
• said legs normally biased together in abutting contact with each other to present a central line of juncture therebetween, when the cover is in use with a conductor received within said tubular section, for substantially completely surrounding the conductor, said legs being selectively separable for permitting positioning of a conductor within the tubular section,
• each of said legs being configured to present a series of inwardly extending, upright, elongated ribs for cooperatively maintaining said conductor in spaced relationship to the outermost margin of the legs remote from the tubular section, in the event that the cover, when in use, is subjected to an impact normally tending to spread said legs and thus expose said conductor, the innermost surfaces presented by the series of ribs on each leg being disposed such that an upright imaginary plane between said legs and coincident with said line of juncture passes uninterruptedly along the length of said cover between the separate series of ribs.
