Abstract
A band spring including fiber composite material and extending in an undulating way, wherein a spring band can be provided to meander in the form of one single wave train composed of reversal regions and intermediate portions around a longitudinal center line L which can substantially correspond to the direction of force introduction K, and wherein, there can be provided an increased resistance moment of the spring band in the reversal regions of the wave train.

A band spring comprising:
- a fiber composite material and extending in an undulating way, wherein a spring band meanders in the form of one single wave train composed of reversal regions and intermediate portions around a longitudinal center line (L) which, substantially, corresponds to the direction of force introduction (K), wherein, in the reversal regions of the wave train, there is provided an increased resistance moment of the spring band.
A band spring comprising a fiber composite material and extending in the form of a double wave, wherein two spring bands meander in the form of wave trains consisting of reversal regions and intermediate portions around two center line (L1, L2) which extend parallel relative to one another and which are positioned parallel to a longitudinal center lines (L) which is positioned therebetween and which substantially corresponds to the direction of force introduction (K), wherein the spring bands are connected to one another in first inner reversal regions of the wave trains and, in the second outer reversal regions of the wave trains, comprise an increased resistance moment.
