Flexible, hose-shaped moulded body, such as bellows, and method for its manufacture

The flexible tubular shaped body (10) has a peripheral wall surface (11) that is provided with a reinforcement insert or multiple reinforcement inserts superimposed on each other. The wall surface is provided with or without a corrugated profile (12), and the reinforcement insert is embedded as a pressure body in a vulcanizable material, particularly an elastomer or a thermoplastic. Each reinforcement insert is formed parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of the body. The corrugated profile is provided with the valley-shaped or retracted mold body portions.
