Japanese Patent JP2003512581
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A spring (50) for linear compressors has a pair of first mounting points (54) for securing to a first body. The spring (50) has at least one second mounting point (52) for securing to a second body which is reciprocable relative to the first body. A spring arm (52) spans between each of the first mounting points (54) by way of the second mounting point (52). In the preferred embodiment the sections of spring arm (53) extending between the first mounting points (54) and the second mounting point (52) include lengths which are of substantially constant radius of curvature. The spring (50) is to be constructed from a length of high fatigue strength wire bent into the required shape reducing the number of operations required in its manufacture.
