An all plastic compression spring assembly includes a slotted tubular spring element formed from a tensile polymer material and upper and lower loading cones received at opposing upper and lower ends of the slotted tubular spring element. The upper loading cone may be axially compressible towards the lower loading cone within the slotted tubular spring element whereby the slotted tubular spring element radially expands in tension to create an opposing radial contraction force, and in turn, an axial extension spring force. When released, the spring element elastically returns to its normal at rest shape, returning the cones to their normal at rest positions. In some dispenser configurations, the lower loading cone may be stationary or fixed within the dispensing head and the upper loading cone may be downwardly compressible toward the lower loading cone by movement of a nozzle head.

A system for providing torque includes a stator, a rotor, an axle, an endcap, an endbell, and a compliant member. The stator has a first end and a second end opposite the first end with a chamber therein. The rotor is at least partially positioned in the chamber and rotatable relative to the stator about a longitudinal axis. The axle has a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and supports the rotor. The endcap is located at a first end of the stator and adjacent to the first end of the axle, and the endbell is located at the second end of the stator and adjacent to the second end of the axle. The compliant member is positioned relative to the axle between a portion of the rotor and one of the endbell and the endcap.

The present disclosure relates to a reducer of an electric power steering apparatus. The present embodiments provide a reducer of an electric power steering apparatus, comprising: a first bearing configured to be coupled to one end of the worm shaft on one side where a motor shaft is connected, among both ends of the worm shaft; a second bearing configured to be coupled to the opposite end of the worm shaft; a plug bolt configured to have a seating groove formed on a support surface for axially supporting the first bearing and configured to have an outer circumferential surface coupled to a gear housing; and a damper configured to support an end of the first bearing and configured to be coupled to the seating groove of the plug bolt.

The present disclosure concerns a spring device with a piston and a housing into which the piston can be introduced in a movement direction. A cavity is formed between the piston and the housing, in which cavity a compressible solid body spring is arranged that consists of a solid body that can be compressed by the piston. At least one surface of the piston that faces the solid body spring is conical or concave. The disclosure furthermore concerns a securing device comprising such a spring device and the use thereof, in particular for a container closing plug.

A vehicle shock absorbing system includes a wheel, a vehicle body, a first absorber, a dynamic absorber, and a third absorber. The third absorber is attached to the vehicle body. The first absorber is between the third absorber and the wheel. The dynamic absorber is attached to the wheel and includes a dynamic absorber mass and a spring.

A bracket assembly includes a first bracket arranged along a damping axis and having a clevis body, a second bracket, and a vibration isolator including an elastomeric body. The second bracket is arranged along the damping axis and has a clevis portion and a mount portion. The clevis portion slidably receives the clevis body of the first bracket. The elastomeric body is arranged axially between the first bracket and the second bracket and is fixedly arranged between the clevis portion of the second bracket and the clevis body of the first bracket through an on-axis load path and through an off-axis load path extending through the bracket assembly. Actuator arrangements and methods of damping vibrational forces are also described.

An all plastic compression spring assembly includes a slotted tubular spring element formed from a tensile polymer material and upper and lower loading cones received at opposing upper and lower ends of the slotted tubular spring element. The upper loading cone may be axially compressible towards the lower loading cone within the slotted tubular spring element whereby the slotted tubular spring element radially expands in tension to create an opposing radial contraction force, and in turn, an axial extension spring force. When released, the spring element elastically returns to its normal at rest shape, returning the cones to their normal at rest positions. In some dispenser configurations, the lower loading cone may be stationary or fixed within the dispensing head and the upper loading cone may be downwardly compressible toward the lower loading cone by movement of a nozzle head.

A damping stopper is interposed between two members axially displaced relative to each other and is provided with an elastic body which, when the interval between the two members decreases, is axially compressed by the two members and expands radially outward. In the elastic body, a second member suppressing the expansion is located in one axial region and attached to the outer periphery. When axially compressed by the two members, the elastic body expands while receiving resistance by the second member. The expanding elastic body contacts the side wall of one of the two members.

A defusing cell includes walls and spheroid elements. The walls are physically connected together to form a first perimeter, a second perimeter, and a hollow center region. A wall has a length and is an angle with respect to the first perimeter. The first perimeter is separated from the second perimeter by a distance based on the length and an angle of the wall. The second perimeter is larger than the first perimeter. The spheroid elements are arranged in a pattern to distribute and disperse an impact force impacting the defusing cell from the second perimeter with respect to the first perimeter.

A vibration damper including a frame having at least a first cavity, a frame first end and a frame second end spaced from the frame first end; a shaft slidably coupled to and extending into the frame where the shaft extends through the first cavity; a first vibration isolator disposed within the first cavity where the shaft extends through the first vibration isolator so as to capture the first vibration isolator within the first cavity where the first vibration isolator interfaces with the frame second end; and a second vibration isolator disposed on the shaft, where the shaft extends through the second vibration isolator so as to capture the second vibration isolator on the shaft where the second vibration isolator interfaces with the frame second end opposite the first vibration isolator, where the first vibration isolator and the second vibration isolator act only in compression.
