Abstract
A spring setting device (30) comprises a setting guide (31; 40) configured to receive a spring, an abutment member (32; 50) positioned adjacent to the setting guide (31; 40) and configured to abuttingly engage the spring, and a pusher (35; 71) which is configured to displace the spring along the setting guide (31; 40) and to compress the spring against the abutment member (32; 50). The abutment member (32; 50) may be rotatably mounted.
Claims12
A spring setting device, comprising:
- a setting guide configured to receive a spring;
- an abutment member positioned adjacent to the setting guide and configured to abuttingly engage the spring, the abutment member being rotatably mounted;
- and
- a pusher which is configured to displace the spring along the setting guide and to compress the spring against the abutment member;
- wherein the pusher is attached to an endless conveyor, the abutment member extends in a plane, the spring setting device is configured to move the pusher across the plane in which the abutment member extends, and the abutment member comprises at least one recess dimensioned to allow the pusher to pass therethrough.

A method of setting a spring, the method comprising:
- displacing, by a pusher, the spring along a setting guide, wherein the pusher is attached to an endless conveyor;
- and
- compressing, by the pusher, the spring on an abutment member which is rotatably mounted and positioned adjacent the setting guide, the abutment member abuttingly engaging the spring and using the pusher to push the spring through at least one recess of the abutment member, the recess being dimensioned to allow the pusher to pass the spring therethrough.
A spring setting device, comprising:
- a setting guide configured to receive a spring;
- an abutment member positioned adjacent to the setting guide and configured to abuttingly engage the spring, the abutment member being movably mounted;
- and
- a pusher which is configured to displace the spring along the setting guide and to compress the spring against the abutment member,
- wherein the abutment member extends in a plane, the spring setting device is configured to move the pusher across the plane in which the abutment member extends, and the abutment member comprises at least one recess dimensioned to allow the pusher to pass therethrough.
