ABSTRACT:
A spring sheet structure is disclosed which enables the prevention of generation of abnormal sound between a coil spring and a spring sheet. A positioning portion is formed at two regions at predetermined positions of a lower spring sheet. The positioning portion is formed by a first curved surface portion whose radius of curvature is slightly less than a radius of a minimum wire diameter coil spring, and a second curved surface portion whose radius of curvature is slightly greater than a radius of a maximum wire diameter coil spring. Further, an outer diameter dimension E of a base portion is set to be less than inner diameter dimensions F, F' of the coil spring. A wound seat portion of the coil spring can be reliably positioned in a point-contacting state, and generation of abnormal sound can be prevented.
