Abstract
In a curved spring configured to generate, based on a relative approaching displacement of the one-side bearing section and the other-side bearing section in an approach/separation direction, an urging force in a separation direction in which a one-side bearing section and an other-side bearing section are separated from each other, a linear elastic body is provided to extend on a closed curve, which includes a one-side portion arranged along a circumferential direction of the one-side bearing section and an other-side portion arranged along a circumferential direction of the other-side bearing section, and to constitute elastic sections of two lines between the one-side portion and the other-side portion.
Claims11
A curved spring comprising:
- a linear elastic body extending on a closed curve, which includes a one-side portion arranged along a circumferential direction of a one-side bearing section and an other-side portion arranged along a circumferential direction of an other-side bearing section so as to constitute elastic sections of two lines between said one-side portion and said other-side portion,
- wherein the curved spring generates, based on a relative approaching displacement of said one-side bearing section and said other-side bearing section in an approach/separation direction, an urging force in a separation direction in which said one-side bearing section and said other-side bearing section are separated from each other.
The curved spring as claimed in claim Z wherein said one-side portion and said other-side portion included in said inner side linear elastic body are joined to said one-side portion and said ether-side portion included in said outer circumference side elastic body.
A curved spring comprising:
- a linear elastic body extending on a closed curve, which includes a one-side bearing portion forming a portion of a one-side bearing section and an other-side bearing portion forming a portion of an other-side bearing section so as to constitute elastic sections of two lines between said one-side bearing portion and said other-side baring portio,
- wherein the curved spring generates, based on a relative approaching displacement of said one-side bearing section and said other-side bearing section in an approach/separation direction, an urging force in a separation direction in which said one-side bearing section and said other-side bearing section are separated from each other.
