  • Patent number: 10018229
    Abstract: A universal joint shaft protection arrangement has a protection device (3) with at least one protection cone (11) and a projection pot (6). The protection pot (6) is attached to a stationary component. The protection cone (11) at least partially accommodates the protection pot in an axially overlapping manner. At least one driver (25, 25?) is retained at the outside on the protection cone (11). The at least one driver (25, 25?) radially engages a first recess (27, 27?) in the protection cone (11) and a second recess (28, 28?) in the protection pot (6) to support the protection cone (11) and the protection pot (6) in a circumferential direction against one another. The second recess (28, 28?) is formed as a slot in the protection pot (6).
