Dust cover (10, 50, 60) with a
bellows section (12, 52, 62) comprising a plurality of annular vertex sections (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e, 14f, 14g, 14h) which are convex radially outward and successively arranged in an axial direction, wherein each of the vertex sections (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e, 14f, 14g, 14h) comprises a pair of inclined wall sections (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, 16e, 16f, 16g, 16h) which are inclined radially inward toward opposite axial ends, wherein: the
bellows section (12, 52, 62) is structured such that an upper region (12a, 52a, 62d, 62e) having a plurality of vertex sections and a lower region (12b, 52b, 62e, 62f) having a plurality of vertex sections are provided continuously or consecutively on both axial sides of an
intermediate region (12c, 52c, 62g, 62h) having at least one of the vertex sections, The pair of inclined wall sections (16c, 16g, 16h), of at least one of the vertex sections (14c, 14g, 14h) of the
intermediate region (12c, 52c, 62g, 62h), has the same
angle of inclination θ, where the
angle of inclination θ is less than an
angle of inclination α of the pair of inclined wall sections (16a, 16d, 16e), the plurality of vertex sections (14a, 14d, 14e) of the upper region (12a, 52a, 62d, 62e), and as an angle of inclination β of the pair of inclined wall sections (16b, 16e, 16f), the plurality of vertex sections (14b, 14e, 14f) of the lower region (12b, 52b, 62e, 62f), where the inclination angles θ, α, β form the angles between the inclined wall sections (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, 16e, 16f, 16g, 16h) and a plane orthogonal to the axis of the dust cover (10, 50, 60); the intermediate area (12c, 52c, 62g, 62h) contracts more easily in the axial direction than the upper area (12a, 52a, 62d, 62e) and the lower area (12b, 52b, 62e, 62f) when
axial compression is applied or exerted on the
bellows section (12, 52, 62). wherein the angle of inclination θ of the inclined wall sections (16c, 16g, 16h) in the
intermediate region (12c, 52c, 62g, 62h) is 25° or greater and 35° or less; and wherein the angle of inclination α of the inclined wall sections (16a, 16d, 16e) in the upper area (12a, 52a, 62d, 62e) is 35° or greater and 50° or less, and the angle of inclination β of the inclined wall sections (16b, 16e, 16f) in the lower area (12b, 52b, 62e, 62f) is 35° or greater and 50° or less.
