ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an omega type spring assembly and particularly the pivotal connection between the omega spring element and a bearing element. In a broad sense the invention involves replacing the conventional knife edge pivotal with a ball and socket connection in which the "socket" has the form of an elongated aperture with arcuately shaped edges. The "ball" has a tapered portion which engages the edges and the tapered portion may be spherical, conical or elliptical in shape. There are two contact points between the bearing element and the arcuately shaped edges of the aperture in the omega spring element.
