RESINOUS SPRING

Abstract:

A resinous spring includes ring-shaped members disposed with gaps interposed therebetween in the direction of the spring axis and link members connecting adjacent ones of the ring-shaped members. Each ring-shaped member has vertex portions to each of which a first link member or a second link member is connectable, thin portions at which the ring-shaped member is reduced in thickness in the direction of the spring axis, and tapered portions at which the ring-shaped member is reduced in thickness in the direction of the spring axis gradually from the vertex portions to the thin portions.
