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.

Figment
A device that takes in air when the sides are spread apart and expels it through a tube when the sides are brought together.

It is a Class 2 lever.

A class-2 lever has its fulcrum at one end of a lever arm. The load is between the fulcrum and the effort. With this kind of lever, the direction of effort is not changed. Pushing up on the class-2 lever arm pushes up on the load. Pushing down on the lever arm pushes down on the load. To gain a mechanical advantage, the load is places closer to the fulcrum than to the effort. The class-2 lever always reduces effort.
