Multilobed Socket For Protection of a Vehicle Transmission

Multilobed socket (5) for protection of a vehicle transmission between a drive shaft (1) and a transmission bell (2), whereby said socket (5) comes in the form of a cylindrical-conical bellows (8) that extends between the large multilobed base (6) and the small base (7) of the socket (5), characterized in that the socket has a new type of architecture close to the large multilobed base (6) of said socket (5), whereby this architecture consists in eliminating, in the pressure area zone of the socket (5) on the bell (2), any means of axial immobilization in said pressure area for the purpose of allowing free translation of the socket (5) in the direction of slippage during a maintenance or replacement operation, whereby a tightening element (11), such as a collar or a ring for tightening, is provided on the external face of said pressure area to exert a radial pressure for immobilization of the socket (5) against the receiving bell (2), whereby this radial pressure causes, to the right of the collar (11), a reduction of the thickness of the pressure area zone.
