ABSTRACT:
A protective cover assembly provides protection for an external surface of a tubular member. The assembly includes a cover having an axially extending annulus which overlies the external surface of the tubular member. The cover also includes an elongate projection disposed for axial extension into the bore of the tubular member. A retainer for the cover is defined by a support flange having an axially extending portion which carries a radially extending segmented flange. The segmented flange frictionally engages the elongate projection to retain the cover about the tubular member. In one preferred embodiment, the tubular member is an end yoke of a universal joint, and the external surface to be protected is a ground bearing sleeve. In another, the tubular member is a companion flange of a universal joint.
