ABSTRACT:
A shield for a universal joint having two yokes is disclosed. Each one of a pair of opposed bell elements is journaled upon the yokes and has a hemispherically shaped outer surface. Each one of a pair of frusto-spherically shaped shoes slidably overlaps one of the bell elements so that the shoes are restrained against axial movement but can rotate relative to the bell elements. A boot spans the shoes with each shoe rotatably disposed between its associated bell element and the boot. The shoes float upon the bell elements within the boot to fully enclose the universal joint as the joint is articulated. The small range of motion of the shield makes it especially suited to operate at wide angles in compact spaces.
