Ball-joint dust cover

摘要

To provide a durable ball-joint dust cover (6) capable of efficiently preventing dust from entering into a dust cover even when a small diameter opening slides inside a ferrule toward a spherical head portion (2) in the case where an inclined angle of a ball stud with respect to a socket is large (in the case where an oscillation angle is large). A ball-joint dust cover formed of a rubberlike elastic material and having a configuration in which a spherical head portion (2) formed at one end of a ball stud (1) is held inside a socket, a shaft at the other end of the ball stud is clamped and fixed to a knuckle (5), a one-end large diameter opening (8) is fixed and held to the outer peripheral surface of the socket (3) by an annular pressing ring (7), and the other-end small diameter opening is held to the shaft through a ferrule (9) having a substantially U-shaped cross-section, wherein a front end (911) of a radial portion (91) of the ferrule on the side of the knuckle is bent toward the small diameter opening (15) so as to form an outer-peripheral-side cylindrical portion (92).
