ABSTRACT:
The springs in accordance with this invention comprise flat, double surfaced components of resilient, flexible material, which components have an equal number of uniform projections or protrusions on each side. The protrusions or projections are rounded or generally spherically shaped, and equally spaced one from another, with the protrusions on one surface of the flat component being precisely intermediate the protrusions on the other surface. Where protrusions are formed by a press which forms a dent in one surface, dents and protrusions alternate on each surface, whereas the side or surface of the component opposite each solid protrusion is flat. The springs are controlled by simple beam deflection. They are inexpensive to produce and may be employed in numerous systems to minimize friction, overheating, stress, fatigue or deformation, damp oscillations or vibrations and maintain alignment.
