ABSTRACT:
An elastomer boot and sleeve combination for sealing a blow-molded boot to a cylindrical member, such as a shaft, includes an intermediate sleeve which is received between the neck of the boot and the shaft. The sleeve is split and is formed with a pair of forks at one end and a tongue which is received between the forks at the other end. The tongue and forks are formed with inclined surfaces along their mating walls such that the tongue is captured between the forks when the sleeve, which is molded in a semi-open position, is closed about the shaft. The neck of the boot is formed with protuberances which engage the walls of outwardly-opening recesses in the forks so that when the neck is clamped down on the sleeve a force is created which urges the forks together toward each other and against the tongue, thereby forming an effective clamp which seals the neck of the convoluted boot to the shaft.
