A universal joint shaft protection arrangement has a protection device () with at least one protection cone () and a projection pot (). The protection pot () is attached to a stationary component. The protection cone () at least partially accommodates the protection pot in an axially overlapping manner. At least one driver (') is retained at the outside on the protection cone (). The at least one driver (&#x2032;) radially engages a first recess (&#x2032;) in the protection cone () and a second recess (&#x2032;) in the protection pot () to support the protection cone () and the protection pot () in a circumferential direction against one another. The second recess (&#x2032;) is formed as a slot in the protection pot ().

Protection arrangement for a universal joint shaft

A protective device for a universal shaft () has an attachment element (), a tubular guard () and at least one latching device (). The attachment element () is positioned around a shaft journal () projecting from a housing (). The tubular protective guard () extends along a longitudinal axis L and is positioned around a universal shaft () connected to the shaft journal (). The at least one latching device () attaches the protective guard () on the attachment element (). The protective guard () has at least one joining lines () extending in the longitudinal direction L. The protective guard () can be separated and opened to receive the universal shaft ().
