Multi-spring compression plate system

A compression pad comprising:

• a first multi-spring compression plate coupled with an opposing multi-spring compression plate;
• wherein the first multi-spring compression plate comprises a first compression plate body that comprises:
• a first plurality of elongate spring bodies, wherein each elongate spring body of the first plurality of elongate spring bodies comprises a spring perimeter surface that is structured to define at least part of an aperture perimeter of a spring shaping aperture extending through the first compression plate body;
• a first plurality of support regions defined between adjacent pairs of the first plurality of elongate spring bodies;
• one or more elongate stiffening ribs defined by the first compression plate body within one or more of the first plurality of support regions extending along a first direction at least partially between a first adjacent pair of the first plurality of elongate spring bodies;
• wherein the opposing multi-spring compression plate comprises a second compression plate body that comprises:
• a second plurality of elongate spring bodies, wherein each elongate spring body of the second plurality of elongate spring bodies comprises a spring perimeter surface that is structured to define at least part of an aperture perimeter of a spring shaping aperture extending through the second compression plate body;
• a second plurality of support regions defined between adjacent pairs of the second plurality of elongate spring bodies;
• and
• one or more elongate stiffening ribs defined by the second compression plate body within one or more of the second plurality of support regions extending along the first direction at least partially between a first adjacent pair of the second plurality of elongate spring bodies.

A method comprising:

• providing a compression pad comprising a first multi-spring compression plate coupled with an opposing multi-spring compression plate;
• wherein the first multi-spring compression plate comprises a first compression plate body that comprises:
• a first plurality of elongate spring bodies, wherein each elongate spring body of the first plurality of elongate spring bodies comprises a spring perimeter surface that is structured to define at least part of an aperture perimeter of a spring shaping aperture extending through the first compression plate body;
• a first plurality of support regions defined between adjacent pairs of the first plurality of elongate spring bodies;
• one or more elongate stiffening ribs defined by the first compression plate body within one or more of the first plurality of support regions extending along a first direction at least partially between a first adjacent pair of the first plurality of elongate spring bodies;
• wherein the opposing multi-spring compression plate comprises a second compression plate body that comprises:
• a second plurality of elongate spring bodies, wherein each elongate spring body of the second plurality of elongate spring bodies comprises a spring perimeter surface that is structured to define at least part of an aperture perimeter of a spring shaping aperture extending through the second compression plate body;
• a second plurality of support regions defined between adjacent pairs of the second plurality of elongate spring bodies;
• and
• one or more elongate stiffening ribs defined by the second compression plate body within one or more of the second plurality of support regions extending along the first direction at least partially between a first adjacent pair of the second plurality of elongate spring bodies;
• receiving a compression force at a first location on the first multi-spring compression plate;
• and
• compressing the compression pad by uniformly distributing the compression force over a first area.
