Abstract

See full text

A bellows for use in fluid control devices includes a head, a shoulder, a blind hole extending from an opening in the shoulder to the head, and a hollow compressible neck between the head and the shoulder, through which the blind hole extends. The neck includes a thin-walled, circumferential band located between the shoulder and the head. The bellows is formed by forming, in a body of thermoplastic material, an inner bore having an inner diameter. Next, at least one thin-walled circumferential band is formed between the head and the shoulder. Finally, the body is deformed to cause each circumferential band to bow.
