An inertial system for a vehicle door handle of a door includes an inertial mass driven by inertia from a rest position in which opening of the door is permitted to a blocking position in which opening of the door is not permitted, a blocking means that prevents opening of the door when the inertial mass is in the blocking position. The inertial system also includes an elastic means being in a minimal tensile stress state when the inertial mass is in rest position and applies a force on the inertial mass to bring the inertial mass from the blocking position to the rest position and a preloading mechanism that cooperates with the elastic means and includes at least two preloading states for enabling the elastic means to have different minimal tensile stress states.

The present disclosure provides radial springs that control radial forces between adjacent concentric components. The radial springs may be configured for placement between the adjacent concentric components. The radial springs may include a base member, support members extending from the base member, and resilient members extending from the base members. The resilient members may extend radially, axially, at an angle relative to the axis, or a combination thereof, and may be radially deformable. The resilient members may exert radial forces substantially uniformly radially inward or outward in use. The resilient members may be leaf type members or cantilever type members. The support members and resilient members may be provided on a radially inward or outward side of the base member. The methods of installing and uninstalling radial springs may include engaging the resilient members with a tool and radially deforming the resilient members to engage or disengage the radial spring from an adjacent concentric component.

An objective of the present invention is to provide a device for mounting spring pieces on a machine housing that can enable high-accuracy press-fitting of the spring piece without any damages to magnetic shoes. The present invention comprises a base plate on which a housing positioning base and a first press are provided; a loading holder, having feeding carriages fixed on side faces thereof, is provided above the housing positioning base; a lifting block, which is provided with several first guide rods extending down onto a lower side thereof, is provided at an output end of the first press, and the loading holder is linked with and located below the lifting block; the loading holder is provided with first guide slots each having an upward opening to fit to the first guide rod as well as loading slots running vertically, and the lifting block is fixed to hold-down plates each extending downward so that a lower end of each hold-down plate extends into the loading slot; and the feeding carriage is provided with a receiving groove which is communicated with the loading slots and configured to receive the spring pieces laminated from side to side.

The present disclosure describes an adaptive spring compression tool that streamlines and partially automates the joining of a vehicle suspension system with a vehicle body on an assembly line. The spring compression tool can be modified and programmed to accommodate various vehicle models, products, and design modifications without replacing the entire tooling system. Additionally, the spring compression tool of the present disclosure has a structure, a function, and an operation that facilitates the compression of a spring without exerting large forces on the vehicle body. In various embodiments, the spring compression tool comprises at least two independent drives that adjust the compression of a spring and the position of a suspension system to achieve a car line position with the vehicle body.

A spring carrier for receiving, retaining, and discharging of a coil spring in a manufacturing assembly process includes an elongate hollow body defining an inner cavity to receive the coil spring and an opening at a proximal first end of the hollow body for the insertion of the coil spring into the inner cavity and extraction of the coil spring from the inner cavity. A deflectable member is located proximate to the first proximal end and includes a retaining portion that retains the coil spring when the coil spring is located within the inner cavity. The deflectable member is movable between a first unbiased position, where the retaining portion extends into the inner cavity to retain the coil spring within the inner cavity, and a second biased position, where the retaining portion is disposed outwardly to allow the coil spring to be extracted from the inner cavity through the opening.

A process for forming a high temperature single crystal canted spring is provided. In one embodiment, the process includes fabricating configurations of a rapid prototype spring to fabricate a sacrificial mold pattern to create a ceramic mold and casting a canted coiled spring to form at least one canted coil spring configuration based on the ceramic mold. The high temperature single crystal canted spring is formed from a nickel-based alloy containing rhenium using the at least one coil spring configuration.

A damping unit and an actuating unit of a damping force adjustment mechanism are inserted into a case provided to a side portion of an outer tube (outer cylinder). After the damping unit and the actuating unit are fastened together, a shock absorber main body with an upper end (another end) of a piston rod facing down is placed in a spring seat fixing jig, and a spring seat is fixed (press-fitted) over the shock absorber main body. A spring seat support portion of the spring seat fixing jig is not arranged between the damping force adjustment mechanism or a bracket and the spring seat. Thus, the spring seat can be fixed (press-fitted) over the shock absorber main body (outer cylinder) without being restricted by an arrangement of the damping force adjustment mechanism or the bracket.

A manufacturing assembly for installing a snap ring into a bore of a multi-axial joint includes a ram tool configured to axially force the snap ring through the bore towards a retention groove with the snap ring in a constricted configuration. An axially distal end of the ram tool includes one or more engagement elements having a tapered engagement surface configured to apply a radially outward force to the snap ring during passage thereof through the bore to urge the snap ring to expand from the constricted configuration back towards an original configuration upon the snap ring reaching the retention groove. A funnel tool configured to constrict and the direct the snap ring into the bore includes an alignment key configured for reception within a keyway of the ram tool during installation of the snap ring to orient the funnel tool and the snap ring relative to the ram tool.
