Abstract

A sandwich bellows construction including three ply members has been provided. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer plies (22, 26) are metal, while the inner ply (30) is an elastomer. In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the ends (24, 28) of the inner and outer plies are joined together so that the intermediate ply member (30) is sealed therebetween. In a further embodiment of the invention, the sandwich bellows construction is provided with a plurality of convolutions (16). This embodiment of sandwich bellows construction provides a continuous, leak tight convoluted bellows that forms an effective vibration damping bellows arrangement.
