ABSTRACT:
A coil spring compressor for compressing a coil spring during the assemblage of sub-assemblies of automotive suspension systems, in particular, of the MacPherson type. The coil spring compressor is of the type which includes a head plate positioned above a base and movable with respect to the base. The coil spring compressor is provided with a pair of guide bars pending from the head plate and on which a slidable clamp carriage is mounted. The clamp carriage carries a clamping mechanism having a pair of clamping assemblies facing each other and positioned at both sides of the coil spring. Each clamping assembly comprises a pair of clamping arms interconnected with each other so that the clamping fingers provided at the inner free ends of each arms extend toward the coil spring to be introduced between two successive turns of the coil spring. One of the clamping arms of each pair has an operating handle which serves to the vertical adjustment of the clamping finger position as well as to the opening and closing movement of the clamping arms.
