Diaphragm damper device coiled wave spring and damper system
A coiled wave spring used by a diaphragm damper device and arranged in a fuel chamber defined by a housing and a cover is provided. The coiled wave spring is configured to be arranged between a diaphragm damper of the diaphragm damper device and the cover. The coiled wave spring is configured to fix the diaphragm damper to the housing with its elastic force. The coiled wave spring includes a coil portion, a winding initiation portion, and a winding termination portion. The winding initiation portion and the winding termination portion form flat seat windings. The seat windings each have a larger outer diameter than the coil portion. One of the seat windings is configured to be fixed to the diaphragm damper.
OPEN ENDED SPRING BODY FOR USE IN AN OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTOR
A spring body configured with a plural of spring segments formed along a longitudinal axis of the spring body. The spring segments form an opening along one side that is configured to accept one or more optical fibers, and secure the fiber bundle from being dislodged from a bore formed by the spring segments.
Wave spring
A wave spring having an axially resilient spring section including at least one one-layer wave-shaped spring configured to provide a spring force in an axial direction of the wave spring, and a radially resilient spring section configured to provide a spring force in a radial direction. The wave spring may be made from a continuous flat wire that forms both the axially resilient spring section and the radially resilient spring section, the flat wire being rotated 90? at a transition from the axial spring section to the radial spring section.
POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
A power transmission system includes a rotating shaft, a power transmission component, a pressing member, and a wave spring. The rotating shaft is rotatable about a rotating axis. The power transmission component includes a frictional engagement portion that includes a plurality of friction members alternately stacked in an axial direction along the rotating axis. The pressing member has a contact portion and is disposed to be movable in the axial direction to press the frictional engagement portion such that the plurality of friction members engage with each other. The wave spring is to press the pressing member at the contact portion in the axial direction away from the frictional engagement portion. The contact portion of the pressing member has a reduced friction between the contact portion and the wave spring along a circumference of the wave spring.
PAYLOAD SHOCK AND VIBRATION ISOLATOR
A shock and vibration isolator comprising a housing securable to the support structure and having a rigid base, top and side portion, a traveler in the housing orientated about a longitudinal axis and configured to move axially and radially relative to the base portion of the housing, the traveler having a connection portion attachable to the payload and a radially-extending transfer portion, an upper, lower and radial non-rigid compliant element disposed axially between the top portion of the housing and the transfer portion of the rigid traveler, disposed axially between the base portion of the housing and the transfer portion of the traveler, and disposed radially between the side portion of the housing and the traveler, respectively, the non-rigid compliant elements operatively configured and arranged to selectively decouple axial and radial motion of the payload from axial and radial motion of the support structure.
DIAPHRAGM DAMPER DEVICE COILED WAVE SPRING AND DAMPER SYSTEM
A coiled wave spring used by a diaphragm damper device and arranged in a fuel chamber defined by a housing and a cover is provided. The coiled wave spring is configured to be arranged between a diaphragm damper of the diaphragm damper device and the cover. The coiled wave spring is configured to fix the diaphragm damper to the housing with its elastic force. The coiled wave spring includes a coil portion, a winding initiation portion, and a winding termination portion. The winding initiation portion and the winding termination portion form flat seat windings. The seat windings each have a larger outer diameter than the coil portion. One of the seat windings is configured to be fixed to the diaphragm damper.
