Wiring grommet with retractable lid

A wiring grommet comprising a sleeve having a generally hollow cylindrical outer body and an integral outwardly extending lip at one end, said lip joining with said outer body so as not to extend radially inwardly of said outer body, a cylindrical cover having a planar upper portion and an axially extending portion shaped to nest closely within said outer body, an opening formed in said planar upper portion extending from its center portion to its outer marginal edge, a bar extending transversely across said opening adjacent its innermost end to define a slot therebetween, a retractable lid separably and slidably engaged within said slot, said lid having a shape conforming to the shape of said opening but of slightly smaller dimensions to provide a nesting within said opening in the closed position and having a thickness equal to the thickness of said planar upper portion of said cylindrical cover, an offset flange extending from the inner end of said lid on its lower surface, said flange having an ear extending laterally from each end beyond the width of said lid to provide a stop by the ears abutting one of the underside of the lid or the bar for preventing removal of said inner end of said lid from said slot in an outward direction and a protrusion formed on said lower surface of said lid at its outer end to provide a stop by the protrusion abutting the upper surface of the bar for preventing removal of said outer end of said lid from said slot in an inward direction and a gap being formed between said outer end and said innermost end of said slot when said lid is in the open position to permit pivotal movement of said inner end of said lid relative to said slot when said lid is in the said open position.
