Abstract
A spring unit including a resin spring that is made of a resin, has a structure having a single beam, and has a resin spring curved part between a pair of resin spring end parts; and a metallic spring that is made of a metallic wire and has a metallic spring curved part between a pair of metallic spring end parts, wherein each of the metallic spring end parts is attached to each of the resin spring end parts, wherein, in a state where each of the metallic spring end parts is attached to each of the resin spring end parts, the resin spring and the metallic spring are positioned on a same plane and are mutually separated at parts other than the resin spring end parts and the metallic spring end parts.
Claims6
A spring unit comprising:
- a resin spring that is made of a resin, has a structure having a single beam, and includes a pair of resin spring end parts and a resin spring curved part between the pair of resin spring end parts,
- each of the resin spring end parts including a pin insertion hole opened through each of the resin spring end parts and an attaching flange formed at an outer peripheral position of each of the resin spring end parts,
- the pin insertion hole including a step corresponding to a pin that includes two different outer diameters and is to be substantially embedded in the pin insertion hole, and
- the attaching flange being shaped like a ring whose center is at a center position of the pin insertion hole;
- and
- a metallic spring that is made of a metallic wire and has a metallic spring curved part between a pair of metallic spring end parts,
- wherein each of the metallic spring end parts is attached to each of the resin spring end parts so that the metallic spring end parts are wound around the corresponding attaching flange of the resin spring,
- wherein, in a state where each of the metallic spring end parts is attached to each of the resin spring end parts, the resin spring and the metallic spring are positioned on a same plane and are mutually separated at parts other than the resin spring end parts and the metallic spring end parts.
