Abstract: Rapid-assembly sealing bellows for protecting jointed couplings such as transmissions, guiding and steering joints, in particular so-called cardan or universal joints of motor vehicles, said bellows being essentially a corrugated tubular body (with entry and exit sleeves) from a material of adequate flexibility, comprising at least one jointing closure formed by lateral interlocking of the near divided edges running in the longitudinal direction from entry to exit of said tubular body, each of said edges forming respectively a U-shaped interlock housing and an interlocking tongue for being received in the housing, characterized in that the open end of the interlock housing comprises an upper covering leg which is inclined in the upward direction and a supporting sole forming a lower covering surface which greatly extends beyond the upper surface and which is inclined in the downward direction, and in that the interlocking tongue, which is closely received into the U-shaped housing by the matching interior sur
