In a waterproof structure of an electrical junction box which renders the electrical junction box waterproof by bringing a stepped section 16 of a cover 2 into contact with a flange section 21 of a case 3, a protuberance 23 to be brought into pressing contact with the stepped section or the flange section is formed along the periphery of the stepped section 16 or the flange section 21. In order to provide effective sealing, the leading edge of the protuberance 23 is brought into line contact with the flange section 21 or the stepped section 16. Further, a skirt wall 13 is formed so as to extend downwardly from the stepped section 16, and a second skirt wall 22 is formed so as to extend from the flange section 21 along the skirt wall 13.

1. An electrical junction box, comprising: a case body including a peripheral wall extending around the perimeter of the case body and a flange section extending outwardly from the peripheral wall, said case body defining a cavity therein; a cover for covering the case body of said case body, said cover including a hood portion defining a recess therein and a stepped wall extending outwardly from said hood portion; and a waterproof packing disposed in said recess, said waterproof packing being separate from said case body including said flange section; a curved protuberance provided on one of said flange section and said stepped wall, wherein when said cover is disposed on said case body, said peripheral wall contacts said waterproof packing acting as a firs seal and said protuberance abuts against another of said flange section and said stepped wall to form a line contact acting as a second seal, wherein said cover include a first skirt wall extending downwardly from said stepped wall and said case body includes a second skirt wall extending downwardly from said flange section, said first and second skirt walls defining a slot therebetween on the outside of said protuberance. 2. The junction electrical box of claim 1, wherein said protuberance has a circular cross-section. 3. The junction electrical box of claim 1, wherein said case body and said cover are made of synthetic resin.
