The invention relates to an arrangement for fixing a sealing sleeve, in particular one in the form of a folding bellows or rolling bellows, for sealing off two components of a constant-velocity joint coupled in a manner which allows them to move angularly and/or in longitudinally displaceable fashion relative to one another. In this arrangement the collar regions at the ends of the sleeve are each clamped on the respective component by means of fastening elements such as strap retainers, bushes or the like. To improve the sealing, especially in the case of less flexible sleeve materials, the sleeve is provided with a collar region which is convex in longitudinal section and, in the undeformed condition, overlaps radially with a fastening element and/or the respective component of the constant-velocity joint, with the result that, in the installed condition, it is pressed flat in longitudinal section and axially extended and is thus clamped axially against radial flanks of the fastening element and/or of the respective component of the constant-velocity joint. The forces acting in this case can be higher than those which can be achieved by purely radial prestressing with a strap retainer or a bush. <IMAGE>
