Protective device for an electrical connection of an on-board device of a bicycle

A protective device for an electrical connection of an on-board device of a bicycle, said electrical connection comprising a first connector electro-mechanically coupled with a second connector, the protective device comprising:

• a first protective element configured to be fixedly coupled with said electrical connection;
• a second protective element configured to be fixedly coupled with said electrical connection on a diametrically opposite side with respect to said first protective element;
• and,
• coupling engagements for removably coupling said first protective element with said second protective element,
• wherein said first and second protective elements extend continuously between respective axial end portions, and at least one of said first or second protective elements has a preformed, rigid interior portion with an inner diameter that is geometrically complementary to an outer diameter of an electric cable such that said electric cable is axially retained within said first and second protective elements, said coupling engagements for removably coupling includes interlocking parts that are made in one piece with said first protective element and second protective element, said interlocking parts for removably coupling are formed on axially opposite free end portions of said first protective element and second protective element, one of said free end portions of one of said first protective element and second protective element comprises, in a cross section thereof, a conical outer side surface portion and an undercut outer side surface portion arranged in a radially inner position with respect to said conical outer side surface portion, and wherein one of said free end portions of the other of said first protective element and second protective element comprises, in a cross section thereof, a conical inner side surface portion and an undercut inner side surface portion arranged in a radially outer position with respect to said conical inner side surface portion.

A protective device for an electrical connection of an on-board device of a bicycle, said electrical connection comprising a first connector electro-mechanically coupled with a second connector, the protective device comprising:

• a first protective element configured to be fixedly coupled on a first side of said electrical connection;
• a second protective element configured to be fixedly coupled on a diametrically opposite side of said electrical connection with respect to said first protective element;
• each of said first and second protective elements are identical to each other and each includes coupling engagements with interlocking male and female connectors on respective axially opposite end portions for removably coupling said first protective element with said second protective element, and
• said first protective element and said second protective element are positioned in oppositely facing directions and said female and male connectors are interconnected in a coupling connection, one of said end portions of one of said first protective element and second protective element comprises, in a cross section thereof, a conical outer side surface portion and an undercut outer side surface portion arranged in a radially inner position with respect to said conical outer side surface portion, and wherein one of said end portions of the other of said first protective element and second protective element comprises, in a cross section thereof, a conical inner side surface portion and an undercut inner side surface portion arranged in a radially outer position with respect to said conical inner side surface portion.
