Abstract:
The invention is directed to an apparatus for making conical bellows for air springs. The apparatus includes a clamping/spreading device transferable between first and second end positions corresponding to an introduction position and a vulcanization position, respectively. The external diameter of the device in the first end position is less than the external diameter thereof of the second end position. The device has clamping segments which in the introduction position are converged so that the external diameter of the device enables an air spring bellows preform to be pushed over the device, and the clamping segments in the vulcanization position are diverged increasing the external diameter of the device so that the bellows preform is pressed tightly against the corresponding external form from the inside. Open gaps because of the enlargement of the external diameter of the device remain between the clamping segments.

Claim (Index 4):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said clamping segments are at least three in number.
