Claim:
A system comprising a housing, at least a first fastening element and a boot, wherein the boot further comprises: a first fastening region with a base surface that defines a seat for a first fastening element in a radial direction as viewed in the direction of a main axis of the boot, whereby to the first fastening region an accumulation of material, formed as a peripheral annular bead, is assigned to an interior of the boot, wherein the first fastening region is displaced axially, as viewed in the direction of the main axis of the boot, and with respect to a housing part on which the boot is mounted, such that the first fastening region at least partially projects axially beyond an edge of the housing part that defines an end face and wherein the base surface at least partially projects beyond the edge of the housing part so as to define a projecting length that is in a range from approximately 20% to approximately 45% of a width of the first fastening element and wherein the projecting length of the base surface is arranged axially displaced in the direction of the a fold region of the boot and at least partially outside of a transition region; wherein at least two outer ribs bridge, at least in part, the first fastening region and the transition region, with respect to a direction perpendicular to the main axis of the boot, wherein at least one of the ribs protrudes radially beyond the base surface of the first fastening region to form a positioning and/or bearing surface and wherein the first fastening element oriented in the radial direction as viewed in the direction of the main axis of the boot, wherein the first fastening element is defined as a band having first and second peripheral side faces.
