Abstract

A safety guard for a double universal joint (1) rotatingly arranged around an axis of rotation has a tubular protective cone (15). The cone (15) has a connection mechanism to non-rotationally connect the protective cone (15) to a drive shaft guard of a shaft connected to the double universal joint (1). A sliding ring (16) rotatingly supports the safety guard on the double universal joint (1). It is non-rotationally connected to the protective cone (15). An adaptor ring (22) is non-rotationally connected to the protective cone (15). A boot (23) is non-rotationally connected to the adaptor ring (22). The boot (32) has a connection mechanism to non-rotationally connect the boot (23) to a stationary component.
