Abstract
A spring compression device comprises a spring sleeve configured to receive a spring; a spring adjustment member provided on and engaged with the spring sleeve and configured to abut a spring mounted on the spring sleeve, wherein the spring sleeve and spring adjustment member define an operating length (L) of the spring compression device, and the spring adjustment member is configured to be moved relative to the spring sleeve to adjust the operating length of the spring compression device; and at least one blocking component for blocking movement between the spring sleeve and the spring adjustment member.
Claims17
A spring compression device, comprising:
- a spring sleeve configured to receive a spring;
- a spring adjustment member provided on and engaged with the spring sleeve and configured to abut a spring mounted on the spring sleeve, wherein:
- the spring sleeve and spring adjustment member define an operating length (L) of the spring compression device, and
- the spring adjustment member is configured to be moved relative to the spring sleeve to adjust the operating length of the spring compression device;
- and
- at least one blocking component for blocking movement between the spring sleeve and the spring adjustment member.
A spring compression assembly, comprising:
- a spring compression device comprising:
- a spring sleeve configured to receive a spring;
- a spring adjustment member provided on and engaged with the spring sleeve and configured to abut a spring mounted on the spring sleeve, wherein:
- the spring sleeve and spring adjustment member define an operating length (L) of the spring compression device, and the spring adjustment member is configured to be moved relative to the spring sleeve to adjust the operating length of the spring compression device;
- and
- at least one blocking component for blocking movement between the spring sleeve and the spring adjustment member;
- and
- a first spring mounted on the spring sleeve and abutting the spring adjustment member.
A method for adjusting the compression of a spring, comprising:
- providing a spring adjustment member on a spring sleeve, wherein the spring sleeve and spring adjustment member define an operating length (L) of a spring compression device;
- adjusting the operating length of the spring compression device with the spring adjustment member by moving the spring adjustment member with respect to the spring sleeve;
- and
- blocking movement between the spring sleeve and the spring adjustment member with a blocking component.
