Bellows as protection of the passage between articulated vehicles.

摘要

Bellows as protection of the junction between two vehicles which are connected to one another in an articulated fashion, there being a plurality of successive folds in the longitudinal direction of the bellows which form a tunnel which is enclosed all round, the two outer fold edges being held in each case by a fold in the frame and the fold walls which run obliquely inwards from the outer fold edges running together in an inner edge which can be the apex line of an arc, characterised in that the region of the inner edge (4) is distinguished in each junction region between one of the side walls of the bellows and the floor of the bellows by a securing seam (8, 9), in that this seam comprises two seam sections (8 and 9) which are spaced from one another in the longitudinal direction of the seam, and in that the junction between the floor of the bellows and the respective side wall of the bellows has been produced by pivoting the bellows material initially out of one plane into two planes which are perpendicular to one another, the region between the seam sections forming the pivot region so that the start (A) of one seam section (8) defines the floor and the start (B), which faces this first seam section, of the other seam section (9) defines the side wall, and that part of the side wall which is nearest to the floor of the bellows dips in a tongue shape into a pocket which is formed by the floor part nearest to the side wall of the bellows.
