A spring element includes a body, at least one leaf spring and a stress relieving section. The body includes at least one mounting section. The leaf spring includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion being secured to the body and at least a part thereof extends angularly with respect to a plane of the body. The leaf spring exerts an urging pressure on an element disposed between the body and a housing as the body is mounted on the housing. The stress relieving section is formed along at least one lateral side of the leaf spring and proximal to the first portion.

A device for applying an axial force includes a longitudinal axis with a first compression surface located at a first end of the longitudinal axis and a second compression surface located at a second end of the longitudinal axis. A plurality of resilient members is positioned between the first compression surface and the second compression surface. A first resilient member is oriented with a first end proximate the first compression surface and a second end proximate the second compression surface. A second resilient member is oriented with a first end proximate the first compression surface and a second end proximate the second compression surface. The device has a compressed state and an expanded state where the first compression surface and second compression surface move in a direction of the longitudinal axis between the compressed state and the expanded state.

An illustrative example spring includes a curved shape body having a length. The body includes a cavity that extends along at least a majority of the length. The body has a cross-section across the length that is different at a plurality of locations on the body along the length.

A spring enclosure trampoline includes a trampoline bed connected across a horizontal frame member. The trampoline bed is supported by a plurality of springs. Trampoline legs support the horizontal frame member above a ground surface. A trampoline enclosure supports a trampoline enclosure net from a spring enclosure netting support. The trampoline enclosure surrounds the trampoline bed and the trampoline enclosure is supported on a trampoline pole. The spring enclosure netting support is formed as a leaf spring. The leaf spring is flexible in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction. A leaf spring vertical dimension is greater than the leaf spring horizontal dimension. A horizontal spring constant of the leaf spring, and a vertical spring constant of the leaf spring are different.

An improved shock isolating mounting comprising at least three substantially U-shaped leaf spring members, each leaf spring member comprising at least two leafs arranged to define a space therebetween. In one arrangement, the respective at least three substantially U-shaped leaf spring members are arranged in an array having a substantially equal angular spacing between adjacent spring members.

The solenoid valve (10) has a poppet valve (41) which is operated to move between a position to close a port and a position to open the port. A fixed iron core (50) having a supporting leg (52) and a driving leg (51) is installed in a valve housing (11), and a movable iron core (60) which drives the poppet valve (41) is disposed between a valve driving member (42) and the fixed iron core (50). An arcuate sliding contact surface (61) is provided on one end portion of the movable iron core (60), and a sliding-abutting surface (62) which abuts on the sliding contact surface (61) is provided on a leading end portion of the supporting leg (52). When a coil (56) is de-energized, the sliding-contacting surface (61) is pressed onto the sliding-abutting surface (62) by a flat spring (70), with an abutting portion of the valve driving member (42) serving as a fulcrum of a tensile force applied to the movable iron core (60).

A solenoid valve (10) has a U-shaped fixed iron core (50) with a driving leg (51), a supporting leg (52), and a yoke portion (53) integrally formed. One end portion of a movable iron core (60) which drives a poppet valve (41) abuts on the supporting leg (52), and the other end portion of the movable iron core (60) abuts on the driving leg (51). A sealing member (81) is disposed between and a valve housing (11) and a fixed flange (58) of a bobbin (54) attached to the fixed iron core (50). A sealing member (83) is disposed between an abutting flange (57) of the bobbin (54) and the yoke portion (53).

A flat spring (70) of a solenoid valve has: an engaging claw (75) which is engaged with an engaging protrusion provided on a movable iron core, and a supporting portion (71) which is installed and fixed between a valve housing and a bobbin. The supporting portion (71) is provided with an attaching claw (72); the attaching claw (72) is attached to an attaching claw holder provided on the bobbin. The engaging claw (75) is provided on a leading end of a pulling portion (73), and a connected portion (74) connects a base end of the pulling portion (73) with the supporting portion (71).

A micromechanical spring including at least two bar sections which, in the undeflected state of the spring, are oriented substantially parallel to one another or are at an angle of less than 45 with respect to one another, and one or more connecting sections which connect the bar sections to one another, wherein the bar sections can be displaced relative to one another in their longitudinal direction, and wherein the spring has, in the direction of its bar sections, a substantially adjustable, in particular linear force-deflecting behavior.

A clamping bushing which, due to the particular eccentric geometry and composite materials used to manufacture the same, comprising elastomers (14, 15) and metal sheets (10, 11), is suitable for the reduction of principally vertically acting vibrations and structure-borne sound which can arise in machines/gearboxes and, in particular, in wind turbines.
