Bellows
A bellows is a device for delivering pressurized
air in a controlled quantity to a controlled location. Basically, a bellows is a deformable container which has an outlet nozzle. When the volume of the bellows is decreased, the air escapes through the outlet. A bellows typically also has a separate inlet and valves or flaps for ensuring that air enters only through the inlet and exits only through the outlet.

About
Bellows
Working a bellows, denotes a struggle, but a final triumph over poverty and fate by energy and perseverance.
To dream of seeing a bellows, distant friends are longing to see you.
To hear one, occult knowledge will be obtained by the help of powerful means. One fallen into disuse, portends you have wasted energies under misguiding impulses.
