Japanese term

ヒ蓋

Japanese to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) database method
Unfortunately, this is simply in a list, with no context of any kind. Anyone have a clue what this is? I suspect some kind of "cover", but what is the "hi" part? What would the character be? Thanks for looking.
Proposed translations (English)
2 +1 upper/top lid
3 gun barrel cover
1 -1 Cover/lid

Mami Yamaguchi Jul 19, 2012:
My acquaintance(a doctor of engineering) who works for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.in Kobe says a washing machine has many 蓋s. And he has never heard of hi-蓋 or 被蓋. If it is possible, it would be better to ask the client. He also says the mechanisms of washing machines differ according to the models though if it is typo and 上蓋, they usually use 'upper cover(lid)'as Nathan suggests(he checked this site). With the type of washing machines, there may be several parts they call ’上蓋' which may be translated differently(maybe rare).

car washing machine or clothes washing machine?
cinefil Jul 16, 2012:
洗濯機が縦型ならば上蓋の可能性が高いと思います。
dchild (asker) Jul 15, 2012:
might be part of washing machine I just realized that there is a switch and a "frame" and the reference may be to a washing machine. Keep that in mind when trying to figure out what "hi" is. Thanks.

upper/top lid

I'm guessing that ヒ is an OCR mistake and this should be 上蓋, which would make sense for a washing machine. Depending on the design, this might be upper lid or top lid. Choose whichever fits your context best.

Cover/lid

私は聞いたことがなかったのですが、Googleしてみると"被蓋"という言葉は医療の分野で使われているようです。それに限らず、被せるものという意味で使用されている例も特許などでありました。この”ヒ”が”被”かどうか、それに対する英訳が適切かは、書類の内容から判断するか、何に関する書類なのかを問い合わせることも必要かもしれません。

a washing machine main body includes an outer frame 1, a top cover 2 for covering the upper surface of the outer frame 1, an openable and closable lid 3 mounted on the top cover 2, and corner plates 4.

最近の日本製のwashing machinは、２つ～３つの蓋が付いています。

旧式、あるいは特殊サイズ（超小型）のもの以外は、たいてい複数の蓋付きです（脱水機能には内蓋必須）。
http://panasonic.jp/wash/
どのフタのことを言っているのかは分かりません。

日英の翻訳なら、日本製の製品で（乾燥機付き）だと思われるので、２つ以上の蓋は大抵付いています。
cinefilさんが、上蓋と仰っていますが、ヒの意味（被？）によっては外蓋、内蓋を意味する言葉かもしれませんが、別の意味を指す可能性もあります。　　
友人曰く、もし誤字で上蓋なら、top （upper） cover or lidを使うのが普通らしいです。　
cinefilさんが、別の機器をFYIに出していますが、別の機器のメカニズムを参照するのは、「対比的に」、あるいは「類似した機器」の場合には、参考になるとのことでした。
