US Patent 7377854 Constant velocity joint with rolling radial boot

A direct torque flow constant velocity joint having a rolling radial boot is provided and includes a DTF CVJ connector, a shroud assembly and a rolling radial boot. The DTF CVJ connector includes an outer joint part and an inner joint part, such that the shroud assembly is connected to the inner joint part and substantially surrounds the outer joint part of the DTF CVJ. The shroud assembly includes a circumferential clamp portion so that a rolling radial boot is connected between it and the outer joint part of the DTF CVJ. The rolling radial boot is covered by the shroud assembly and seals the DTF CVJ. The shroud assembly also protects the boot from external debris.
