ABSTRACT:
A protective boot assembly 10 includes a flexible body 12 having at least one corrugation 16 positioned traversely to a longitudinal axis 14 of the body, whereby a coupling member for a pair of angularly disposed rotatable shafts encased therein may be continuously protected from foreign elements. The body includes an axial opening 22 which defines two opposed axially extending surfaces 24,26 which retain and support a sliding fastener 28 which provides a closure system.
In a preferred embodiment, the opposed surfaces are each bounded by a protective lip 34,36 whereby closure of the opening is effected by the combination of the fastener slider mechanism and the protective lips. The fastener mechanism and the protective lips together define an axially extending cavity 38 which upon closure is filled with a flexible sealant material.
