Abstract
The boot fixing portion 2a is fitted on the outer peripheral surface 1a3 of the boot attaching portion 1a2, the positioning of the two being made such that the convex portion 2a2 is fitted in the engaging groove 1a4. Then the boot band 3 fitted in the band mounting groove 2a3 is reduced in diameter by folding back the lever member 3b, thereby clamping the boot fixing portion 2a to the boot attaching portion 1a2. Thereupon, the clamping force exerted by the boot band 3 causes elastic deformation of the boot fixing portion 2a, displacing the convex portion 2a2 toward the engaging groove 1a4, so that the projections 1a5 bite into the inner peripheral surface 2a1 of the boot fixing portion 2a.
