ABSTRACT:
A universal joint boot having a boot body including a bellows part and an opening portion which is formed in one end of the bellows part and into which a case for receiving one member of two members moving relatively to each other is inserted. An annular adaptor is mounted on the inner peripheral surface of the opening portion and has an outer peripheral surface formed nearly in the same shape as the inner peripheral surface. The adaptor has a fixing portion that is pressed by the inner peripheral surface of the opening portion of the boot body, thereby being fixed to the case. A reversing portion is located opposite to the fixing portion with the opening portion between them and sandwiches the opening portion together with the fixing portion. A folding portion is located where the reversing portion is folded back to the outside. Hence, the universal joint boot can be easily assembled.
