Spring carrier

A spring carrier for use in plant construction to resiliently carry a load, the spring carrier comprising:

• a casing tube comprises a hollow cylinder, the casing tube having a longitudinal axis which extends in a longitudinal direction of the casing tube and an inner circumference which surrounds a clear cross-section of the casing tube,
• a spring plate, a base plate and a spring disposed inside the casing tube and along the longitudinal axis between an upper boundary element and a lower boundary element,
• wherein the spring is disposed between the base plate and the spring plate and applies a spring force respectively acting parallel to the longitudinal axis to the spring plate and the base plate,
• wherein the spring plate is connected to a carrier element to resiliently carry a component and is displaceable along the longitudinal axis inside a displacement area limited by the upper and the lower boundary elements, the lower boundary element having a projection arrangement having a plurality of retaining projections disposed on the inner circumference of the casing tube,
• wherein the base plate has a recess arrangement on an outer surface facing the inner circumference of the casing tube,
• wherein the projection arrangement and the recess arrangement are arrangeable corresponding to each other such that, in a mounting situation, in which the base plate is disposed in a first angular position relative to the casing tube with respect to a rotation about the longitudinal axis, all of the plurality of the retaining projections of the projection arrangement are disposed perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis next to the base plate and, in an operational situation, in which the base plate is disposed in a second angular position relative to the casing tube, the projection arrangement overlaps with the base plate perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis to absorb a force exerted by the spring onto the base plate,
• wherein at least one locking projection is disposed inside the casing tube and is offset upwards from the projection arrangement,
• wherein the base plate has at least two locking recesses at a locking angular distance on the outer surface facing the inner circumference of the casing tube,
• wherein the locking projection and the locking recesses are arranged corresponding to each other such that, in the mounting situation, the locking projection is disposed perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis inside a first of the locking recesses and, in the operational situation, the locking projection is disposed inside a second of the locking recesses.
