Abstract
A device for protecting a wide angle joint (8) associated with a driveshaft (7) for driving agricultural implements. It consists of a guard (1, 6, 11) which at least partially covers the double joint (8) and which is arranged so as to be axially movable relative to a sliding ring (2). The sliding ring (2) holds the guard (1) at a certain distance from the joint (8). The conical guard at its radially inward end comprises a flexible convoluted tube (6) covering the joint (8). The sliding ring (2) can contact a contact edge (10) of the tube (6) to compress it asymmetrically.
