Bellows for covering the guideways and the like on machine tools and the like

摘要

The bellows (F) have a bellows part (B) and a cover (A). The cover (A) consists of lamellae (3) which are pivotably mounted on the bellows part (B) by means of joints (4). Each joint (4) has a joint pivot (8), first plastic sections (6) and second plastic sections (7). The first plastic sections (6) are fastened like a rider to the bellows, while the second plastic sections (7) are connected to the lamellae (3) in a positive-locking manner, the material of the plastic sections (7) engaging in apertures in the lamellae. An accurately defined bearing arrangement of the lamellae (3) is obtained by such a configuration of the joints (4), in which case the joint pivots (8) do not pass through the material (1) of the bellows part (2). <IMAGE>
