Abstract

A gangway bellows for fastening to the end of a vehicle, the bellows having a clamping cable along its peripheral edge which cooperates with a channel carried by the end of the vehicle for attaching the end of the bellows to the vehicle. A connecting strip of elastic material, such as rubber, extends along the peripheral edge of the bellows and embraces the clamping cable. The connecting strip is located between the clamping cable and the channel on the vehicle and serves to resiliently clamp the cable to retain the latter within the channel.
