Sealing bellows for a ball joint in the running gear of a motor vehicle

摘要

The invention relates to a sealing bellows for a ball joint in the running gear of a motor vehicle, one end of which, the end surrounding the shank (3) of a ball-headed pin, is held on the shank (3) by means of a retaining ring (4) placed in a circumferential recess (9) open towards the outside and has an encircling skirt (8) which projects axially before installation and has an annular supporting surface (13) which, after installation, is supported in a radial plane relative to the longitudinal axis of the ball-headed pin against a running-gear component (6) with a bearing eye for the attachment of the ball-headed pin. In this sealing bellows, an edge bead (10) which projects approximately radially before installation and is axially oriented after installation and which partially obstructs the circumferential recess (9) is formed at the end of the skirt (8).
