ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a new basic type of extension or compression spring that can be made from thin or heavy strip stock, but yields spring strengths associated with much heavier and larger springs of currently used coil, leaf and other types. Additionally, the new spring provides a two or three spring constant response consisting of a first strong spring response, then a weaker spring response, then (if desired) a strong spring response. The variable rate is controllable by design, and no new technology is required to make springs with a very wide spectrum of strength and non-linear response. Anticipated applications range from a new type of hose clamp to direct reading torque indicators or automotive suspension springs.
