ABSTRACT:
A protective constant velocity (CV) joint boot having a tubular body with end openings and one longitudinal seam running from one end opening to the other enables rapid replacement of existing monolithic CV joint boots. Additionally, reinforcement of the tubular body of the protective boot against stresses caused by movement of the joint is accomplished through the use of a pair of sealing sleeves, also having seams, which are fitted under the tubular body of the protective boot. The edges of the seam of the tubular boot interlock with, as seen in cross section, an arrow head shaped male member on one edge of the seam which locks past a pair of nubs on a female retaining edge of the seam. The seams of the sleeves are off-set with the seam of the tubular body of the protective boot, thus accomplishing a more effective seal. Both sleeves have a flange that lends strength to the crests nearest the ends of the protective boot, which under most driving conditions receive more stress than the central portion. The protective boot does not require removal or replacement of any suspension or brake components during the replacement of a damaged or worn boot.
