ABSTRACT:
A protective cover which is releasably securable to a component having an aperture formed therethrough, such as an end yoke, is disclosed. The cover includes a generally flat circular end portion having a depending skirt portion formed about the outer periphery thereof. The skirt portion is formed integrally with the end portion and extends axially downwardly therefrom to define a hollow cylindrical protected region. First and second legs are formed integrally with the end portion and extend downwardly within and beyond the skirt portion. As they extend from the end portion, the legs diverge slightly apart from one another in inverted-V fashion. At the lower ends of the legs, respective series of shoulders are formed. The cover is installed by slightly compressing the legs together and inserting them through the aperture at one end of the component. When the ends of the legs are moved beyond the opposite end of the component, the legs spring apart such that the shoulders engage the other end to retain the cover thereon.
