Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014023473A2] A rapid bellows compression and/or expansion tool comprises a plurality of adjusting means that allow to adjust an axial distance between a first engaging member adapted to engage a bellows at a first portion thereof, and a second engaging member adapted to engage said bellows at a second opposing portion thereof. Transfer means are provided to mechanically couple the plurality of adjusting means, thereby providing for a uniform and synchronous bellows compression and/or expansion.
