Element coupling two bellows

摘要

The coupling element (E) is a rigid component and has at least one flat holding pocket (HT) which can slide over an outer folding edge (FK2) of the bellows (FB2). The coupling element has fixing means for connecting with the machine element. The axially moved machine element can also be formed as a concertina bellows (FB1) with both bellows having in cross section straight outer fold edges at their lamellar plates (L,L'). The coupling element can have several holding pockets of which at least one engages over the outer fold edge of the first and a second engages over the outer fold edge of the second.
