Claims
- 1. A hood-shaped cover for an electronic device, comprising a device-proximal bottom side and a device-distal side, and a cable guide for routing a connecting cable of the electronic device such that a plug-in connector of the connecting cable is connectable to the electronic device, said cable guide including in the device-proximal bottom side an opening which is configured to extend helically toward the device-distal side into a passageway for encompassing the connecting cable and terminates in a cable outlet disposed tangentially to the device-distal side.
- 2. The cover of claim 1, and further comprising a lid closure for covering the cable guide.
- 3. The cover of claim 1, wherein the cable outlet is constructed so as to be tight and strain-relieved.
- 4. The cover of claim 2, wherein the lid closure is constructed as clamp element for strain relief.
- 5. The cover of claim 2, wherein the lid closure and the cover have aligned bores for threaded engagement of a screw.
- 6. The cover of claim 1, wherein the cover includes a shield which extends above the opening.
- 7. The cover of claim 6, wherein the shield has an attachment member for connection of the shield to the bottom of the cover.
- 8. The cover of claim 6, wherein the shield has a recessed end surface in proximity of the cable outlet to define said passageway.
- 9. The cover of claim 1, wherein the cable outlet is constructed in the form of a tray.
- 10. In combination with an open-topped electronic device, a cover for securely shielding the electronic device, and a flexible electrical cable secured to the electronic device and the cover, said cover including a hood-shaped cover portion constructed for attachment over the top of the electronic device and formed with a cutout having a device-proximal bottom area and a device-distal upper area, and a cable guide disposed in the area of the cutout, said cable guide including an opening disposed in the device-proximal bottom area and extended by a curved slot for passage of the cable, and a cable outlet disposed in the device-distal area in proximity of the slot.
- 11. The combination of claim 10, wherein the cover includes a lid closure for closing the cutout.
- 12. The combination of claim 11, wherein the lid closure is constructed as clamp element for strain relief.
- 13. The combination of claim 11, wherein the lid closure and the cover portion have aligned bores for threaded engagement of a screw.
- 14. The combination of claim 10, wherein the cover includes a shield which extends substantially above the slot of the opening.
- 15. The combination of claim 14, wherein the shield has an attachment member for connection of the shield to a bottom of the cutout.
- 16. The combination of claim 14, wherein the shield has a recessed end surface in proximity of the cable outlet to define a passageway for passage of the cable.
- 17. The combination of claim 10, wherein the cable outlet is constructed in the form of a tray.
