Proposed is an anti-vibration mount using combination of multiple springs in which a main spring is provided between an upper frame and a lower frame to reduce vibration, and an auxiliary spring is provided at each of the side portions of the upper frame such that the direction and magnitude of a force applied by the auxiliary spring change according to the compressed degree of the main spring, so the effect of an air spring is realized only with the combination of the main and auxiliary springs which are coil springs. The anti-vibration mount includes: the upper frame allowing an object to be installed thereon; the lower frame provided under the upper frame by being spaced apart therefrom; the main spring provided between the upper frame and the lower frame; and the auxiliary spring elastically supporting each of opposite sides of the upper frame and the lower frame.

An exemplary embodiment provides a method of manufacturing a string of pocketed spring coils comprising: simultaneously making at least two spring coils; simultaneously transporting the at least two spring coils to a compressor: simultaneously compressing the at least two spring coils; simultaneously inserting the at least two compressed spring coils between top and bottom plies of a piece of fabric; welding the top and bottom plies of the fabric along an edge of the folded fabric parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fabric and opposite the folded edge of the fabric; welding the top and bottom plies of the fabric along lines transverse to the longitudinal axis of the fabric between each of the compressed spring coils to create a plurality of pockets, each pocket encompassing a compressed spring coil; and expanding each of the compressed spring coils within each of the plurality of pockets.

A spring assembly is provided that includes a plurality of first strings of springs and a plurality of second strings of springs. Each of the first strings are joined to at least another one of the first strings or one of the second strings. Each of the first strings includes first and second plies of fabric that define a plurality of pockets formed along a length of the first string. The pockets are formed by vertical seams that join the plies. The vertical seams each include an upper slit that extends through a top surface of the first string and a lower slit that extends through a bottom surface of the first string. Each of the pockets have at least one spring positioned therein.

A lockable lift assist assembly includes a piston assembly moveable between an extended position and a retracted position. A valve assembly is coupled in movement together with the piston assembly. The valve assembly is configured to selectively alter a flow of a hydraulic fluid through a fluid communication path established within the valve assembly to control movement of the piston assembly.

A resilient unit suitable for providing comfort, convenience, support or protection is described. The unit typically takes the form of a pad comprising a plurality of pocketed coil springs arranged in an array, each spring being substantially encased in an individual pocket, and the unit being compressible in the axial direction of the springs, wherein each spring comprises a number of coils, and in respect of at least some springs the coils at opposed ends are of different diameter.
