Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of calendering the spiral portion of a watch-spring, from a lace drawn and pre-rolled, said lace comprising, successively, from a beginning of the blade, a shell shaped beforehand calendering, with a curvature whose center is on an outer side of said lace, said shell being followed by a neck having a zone of zero curvature and forming a zone of inflection, and said neck being followed by a zone of accumulation which is intended to be, during said calendering operation, spirally calendered in a curvature whose center is an inner side of said lace, opposite said outer side, said accumulation zone ending in a tape end.
- the invention also relates to a calender for the implementation of this method.
- the invention also relates to a clock spring.
- the invention relates to the field of watch cylinder springs and their manufacture.
- clock springs are complex, and requires many steps, including a step of ringing and / or a calendering step of a portion of a lace at one end of which has been previously formed a shell, to form the leaf of the spring.
- This calendering operation is delicate, and requires perfect reproducibility.
- the handling of the spring is inconvenient at the exit of the calendering operation.
- the purpose of the calendering is to guarantee the functioning of the spring. Indeed, the entire leaf spring must provide the maximum torque when disarming the spring. That is to say, for each location of the blade, the surface of the spring is constrained to its elastic limit in the fully armed state.
- the invention proposes to modify the calendering so as to avoid a conventional and expensive operation, ring setting the spring for the end of its development, for example for the execution of a treatment. And, more particularly, to produce a storable intermediate product that can be handled flat.
- the invention must make it possible to avoid unnecessary loading of processing facilities with bulky tools, and to facilitate handling of the springs while eliminating the usual debugging.
- the calendering process consists of constraining the spring blade between two rollers and a motorized rod to make a three-point bending of the blade, to deform plastically.
- the calendering is usually done at a constant diameter, which involves a stack of turns, which can not return to their flattened shape once out of the plane. This problem is all the more important as the diameter of the spring is small.
- the invention proposes the implementation of a progressive or variable calendering technique, which makes it possible to produce a calendered spring with a space, constant or variable depending on the settings, between the turns.
- the goal is to facilitate handling in subsequent operations of the manufacturing process, and to remove the usual mattress.
- the invention makes it possible to guarantee a calender of smaller diameter at the calendered portion which corresponds to the beginning of the process, and to increase the diameter while approaching the shell.
- the principle of the invention also consists in constraining the blade between three points to exceed the elastic limit locally in the blade and thus form the calendered portion.
- the invention relates to a method of calendering a mainspring according to claim 1.
- the invention also relates to a particular calender, according to claim 8, for this progressive calendering, and provided to reduce the lines due to the friction of the blade on metal parts, such as the axis and the rollers.
- the invention also relates to a clock spring according to claim 17.

- This lace 1, of thickness "eā, comprises successively, since a blade start, a shell 2 shaped prior to calendering, with a curvature whose center is an outer side of the lace 1.
- This shell 2 is followed by a neck 3, of length LC, having a zone of zero curvature 4 and forming a zone of inflection.
- this neck 3 is followed by an accumulation zone 5, which alone relates to the calendering operation according to the invention, and which is intended to be, during this calendering operation, calendered in a spiral according to a curvature of which the center is an inner side of the lace 1, opposite to the outer side.
- the accumulation zone 5 terminates in a strip end 6, and may advantageously, but not necessarily, include a short final LF non-spiral length, which constitutes the primer by which the calendering operation is started.
- the operation is a variable calendering operation, and more particularly a progressive calendering operation.
- a calender 20 which comprises at least a first support and guide means 10 arranged to exert a force F on the yaw 1 in a first intermediate contact zone A, which is situated between a second B and a third C extreme contact zones that comprise respectively a second 12 and a third 13 support and guiding means, which comprises the calender 20, for winding the accumulation zone 5 with a curvature opposite to that of the shell 2.
- the position of the first contact zone A is gradually changed away from the second B and third C contact zones, to vary the calender radius since a first minimum value R1 to a second maximum value R2 at the junction between the accumulation zone 5 and the neck 3, where the calendering operation is stopped.
- the figure 3 illustrates the contacting of the lace 1 with the three bearing and guiding means 10, 12, 13, distributed on either side of this lace 1, at the beginning of the calendering
- the figure 4 illustrates the pressurization of the support and intermediate guide means 10, on the lace 1.

- the third support and guiding means 13 are maintained in a fixed position.
- the second support and guiding means 12 are maintained in a fixed position.
- the first support and guiding means 10 are moved relative to the second 12 and third 13 support and guiding means which are fixed.
- the first support and guiding means 10 and / or the second support and guiding means 12 are moved relative to the third support and guiding means 13 which is in a fixed position.
- a carriage 11 carrying the first support and guiding means 10 is displaced, with at least one degree of freedom, to exert this force F on the lace 1.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate a particular non-limiting embodiment with a pivoting of the carriage 11, which allows to show a particular deformability of the triangle ABC supports.

- the first support and guide means 10, the second support and guide means 12, and the third support and guide means 13 may each be in the form of a fixed shaft, a idler roller, or a motorized roller to ensure the advance of the lace 1 in the shell 20.
- the second support and guiding means 12 and the third support and guiding means 13 are both motorized, and the first tends to impress the shoelace with a tangential velocity slightly greater than the second.
- the invention is illustrated in a particular nonlimiting example where the first support and guide means 10 is a rod, the second support and guide means 12 and the third support and guide means 13 are two rollers .
- the contact surfaces between the rod 10, the two rollers 12, 13, and the lace 1 determine on the latter a profile close to an arc with a certain instantaneous curvature.
- this instantaneous curvature must vary approximately regularly during all the calendering of the spiral accumulation zone 5.
- a regularly increasing pressure is applied as a function of the advance of the lace 1, defined by the speed of rotation of at least one motorized roller, which may be the roller 14 of the figure 2 , or the roller 12 and / or the roller 13, this rotational speed being also adjustable.
- the invention further relates to a calender 20 for carrying out this method, which comprises the various devices described above.
- This calender 20 comprises, on either side of a calendering zone arranged to receive a lace 1 provided beforehand with a shell 2 at one end, a first side at least a first support means and guide 10 arranged to exert a force F on such a lace 1 in a first intermediate contact zone A, which is located between a second B and a third C extreme contact zones that respectively comprise a second 12 and a third 13 means of support and guidance, that includes the calender 20 on a second side, opposite the first side relative to the calender area.

- these displacement means are arranged to print to a mobile carriage 11 carrying this at least one first support and guide means 10, a feed movement, or a regular feed movement, for the production of a progressive calendering. More particularly, the displacement means are arranged to print to a mobile carriage 11 at least one pivoting movement.
- the calender 20 comprises a deflector 15 interposed on the path of the lace 1 after its exit from the calender zone to ensure its correct winding.
- this deflector 15 can be motorized, and movable in one or more degrees of freedom.
- first support and guiding means 10 and / or the second support and guiding means 12 and / or the third support and guiding means 13 is in the form of a motorized roller to ensure the advance of the lace 1 in the calender area. More particularly, at least two of these first support and guiding means 10, second support and guiding means 12, third support and guiding means 13, are motorized in a non-synchronous manner, so as to ensure lace tension 1 in the calender zone.

Description
L'invention concerne un procĆ©dĆ© de calandrage de la partie spirale d'un ressort de barillet d'horlogerie, Ć partir d'un lacet trĆ©filĆ© et laminĆ© au prĆ©alable, ledit lacet comportant successivement, depuis un dĆ©but de lame, un coquillon faƧonnĆ© prĆ©alablement audit calandrage, avec une courbure dont le centre est d'un cĆ“tĆ© extĆ©rieur dudit lacet, ledit coquillon Ć©tant suivi d'un cou comportant une zone de courbure nulle et formant une zone d'inflexion, et ledit cou Ć©tant suivi d'une zone d'accumulation laquelle est destinĆ©e Ć ĆŖtre, lors de ladite opĆ©ration de calandrage, calandrĆ©e en spirale selon une courbure dont le centre est d'un cĆ“tĆ© intĆ©rieur dudit lacet, opposĆ© audit cĆ“tĆ© extĆ©rieur, ladite zone d'accumulation se terminant par une fin de bande.The invention relates to a method of calendering the spiral portion of a watch-spring, from a lace drawn and pre-rolled, said lace comprising, successively, from a beginning of the blade, a shell shaped beforehand calendering, with a curvature whose center is on an outer side of said lace, said shell being followed by a neck having a zone of zero curvature and forming a zone of inflection, and said neck being followed by a zone of accumulation which is intended to be, during said calendering operation, spirally calendered in a curvature whose center is an inner side of said lace, opposite said outer side, said accumulation zone ending in a tape end.
L'invention concerne encore une calandre pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procƩdƩ.The invention also relates to a calender for the implementation of this method.
L'invention concerne encore un ressort de barillet d'horlogerie.The invention also relates to a clock spring.
L'invention concerne le domaine des ressorts de barillet d'horlogerie et de leur fabrication.The invention relates to the field of watch cylinder springs and their manufacture.
La fabrication de ressorts de barillet d'horlogerie est complexe, et nĆ©cessite de nombreuses Ć©tapes, dont une Ć©tape de mise en bague ou/et une Ć©tape de calandrage d'une partie d'un lacet Ć une extrĆ©mitĆ© duquel a Ć©tĆ© formĆ© au prĆ©alable un coquillon, pour former la lame du ressort.The manufacture of clock springs is complex, and requires many steps, including a step of ringing and / or a calendering step of a portion of a lace at one end of which has been previously formed a shell, to form the leaf of the spring.
Cette opƩration de calandrage est dƩlicate, et nƩcessite une reproductibilitƩ parfaite. La manutention du ressort est malcommode en sortie de l'opƩration de calandrage.This calendering operation is delicate, and requires perfect reproducibility. The handling of the spring is inconvenient at the exit of the calendering operation.
Le but du calandrage est de garantir le fonctionnement du ressort. En effet, toute la lame de ressort doit fournir le maximum de couple lors du dĆ©sarmage du ressort. C'est-Ć -dire que, pour chaque endroit de la lame, la surface du ressort est contrainte Ć sa limite Ć©lastique Ć l'Ć©tat complĆ©tement armĆ©.The purpose of the calendering is to guarantee the functioning of the spring. Indeed, the entire leaf spring must provide the maximum torque when disarming the spring. That is to say, for each location of the blade, the surface of the spring is constrained to its elastic limit in the fully armed state.
L'invention se propose de modifier le calandrage de faƧon Ć Ć©viter une opĆ©ration classique et coĆ»teuse, de mise en bague du ressort pour la fin de son Ć©laboration, par exemple pour l'exĆ©cution d'un traitement. Et, plus particuliĆØrement, pour rĆ©aliser un produit intermĆ©diaire stockable et manutentionnable Ć plat.The invention proposes to modify the calendering so as to avoid a conventional and expensive operation, ring setting the spring for the end of its development, for example for the execution of a treatment. And, more particularly, to produce a storable intermediate product that can be handled flat.
L'invention doit permettre d'Ʃviter une charge inutile des installations de traitement avec des outillages volumineux, et de faciliter la manipulation des ressorts, tout en supprimant le dƩbaguage usuel.The invention must make it possible to avoid unnecessary loading of processing facilities with bulky tools, and to facilitate handling of the springs while eliminating the usual debugging.
Le processus de calandrage consiste Ć contraindre la lame ressort entre deux galets et une tige motorisĆ©e pour faire une flexion trois-points de la lame, permettant de la dĆ©former plastiquement.The calendering process consists of constraining the spring blade between two rollers and a motorized rod to make a three-point bending of the blade, to deform plastically.
Le calandrage se fait usuellement Ć diamĆØtre constant, ce qui implique un empilement des spires, qui ne peuvent pas reprendre leur forme aplatie une fois sortie du plan. Ce problĆØme est d'autant plus important que le diamĆØtre du ressort est petit.The calendering is usually done at a constant diameter, which involves a stack of turns, which can not return to their flattened shape once out of the plane. This problem is all the more important as the diameter of the spring is small.
L'invention propose la mise en oeuvre d'une technique de calandrage progressif ou variable, qui permet de produire un ressort calandrĆ© avec un espace, constant ou variable selon les rĆ©glages, entre les spires. Le but est de faciliter la manipulation dans les opĆ©rations ultĆ©rieures du process de fabrication, et de supprimer le matelas usuel. L'invention permet de garantir un calandrage de plus petit diamĆØtre au niveau de la partie calandrĆ©e qui correspond au dĆ©but du process, et d'augmenter le diamĆØtre en se rapprochant du coquillon.The invention proposes the implementation of a progressive or variable calendering technique, which makes it possible to produce a calendered spring with a space, constant or variable depending on the settings, between the turns. The goal is to facilitate handling in subsequent operations of the manufacturing process, and to remove the usual mattress. The invention makes it possible to guarantee a calender of smaller diameter at the calendered portion which corresponds to the beginning of the process, and to increase the diameter while approaching the shell.
Le principe de l'invention consiste Ć©galement Ć contraindre la lame entre trois points pour dĆ©passer la limite Ć©lastique localement dans la lame et ainsi former la partie calandrĆ©e.The principle of the invention also consists in constraining the blade between three points to exceed the elastic limit locally in the blade and thus form the calendered portion.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un procƩdƩ de calandrage de ressort de barillet selon la revendication 1.To this end, the invention relates to a method of calendering a mainspring according to claim 1.
L'invention concerne encore une calandre particuliĆØre, selon la revendication 8, permettant ce calandrage progressif, et prĆ©vue pour rĆ©duire les raies dues au frottement de la lame sur des parties mĆ©talliques, comme l'axe et les galets.The invention also relates to a particular calender, according to claim 8, for this progressive calendering, and provided to reduce the lines due to the friction of the blade on metal parts, such as the axis and the rollers.
L'invention concerne encore un ressort de barillet d'horlogerie selon la revendication 17.The invention also relates to a clock spring according to claim 17.

Et ce cou 3 est suivi d'une zone d'accumulation 5, qui seule concerne l'opĆ©ration de calandrage selon l'invention, et qui est destinĆ©e Ć ĆŖtre, lors de cette opĆ©ration de calandrage, calandrĆ©e en spirale selon une courbure dont le centre est d'un cĆ“tĆ© intĆ©rieur du lacet 1, opposĆ© au cĆ“tĆ© extĆ©rieur.And this
La zone d'accumulation 5 se termine par une fin de bande 6, et peut avantageusement, mais non nĆ©cessairement, comporter une courte longueur finale LF non spiralĆ©e, qui constitue l'amorce par oĆ¹ on commence l'opĆ©ration de calandrage.The
Selon l'invention, l'opĆ©ration est une opĆ©ration de calandrage variable, et plus particuliĆØrement une opĆ©ration de calandrage progressif.According to the invention, the operation is a variable calendering operation, and more particularly a progressive calendering operation.
Selon l'invention, on met en oeuvre une calandre 20 qui comporte au moins un premier moyen d'appui et de guidage 10 agencĆ© pour exercer un effort F sur le lacet 1 en une premiĆØre zone de contact A intermĆ©diaire, qui est situĆ©e entre une deuxiĆØme B et une troisiĆØme C zones de contact extrĆŖmes que comportent respectivement un deuxiĆØme 12 et un troisiĆØme 13 moyens d'appui et de guidage, que comporte la calandre 20, pour enrouler la zone d'accumulation 5 avec une courbure opposĆ©e Ć celle du coquillon 2.According to the invention, a
Et, lors de l'avance du lacet 1 dans la calandre 20, on modifie progressivement la position de la premiĆØre zone de contact A en l'Ć©loignant des deuxiĆØme B et troisiĆØme C zones de contact, pour faire varier le rayon de calandrage depuis une premiĆØre valeur minimale R1 jusqu'Ć une deuxiĆØme valeur R2 maximale Ć la jonction entre la zone d'accumulation 5 et le cou 3, oĆ¹ on stoppe l'opĆ©ration de calandrage.And, during the advance of the lace 1 in the

Dans une mise en oeuvre particuliĆØre de l'invention, on maintient le deuxiĆØme moyen d'appui et de guidage 12 en position fixe.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the second support and guiding
Dans une mise en oeuvre particuliĆØre de l'invention, on dĆ©place le premier moyen d'appui et de guidage 10 par rapport aux deuxiĆØme 12 et troisiĆØme 13 moyens d'appui et de guidage qui sont fixes.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the first support and guiding
Dans une mise en oeuvre particuliĆØre de l'invention, on dĆ©place le premier moyen d'appui et de guidage 10 et/ou le deuxiĆØme moyen d'appui et de guidage 12 par rapport au troisiĆØme moyen d'appui et de guidage 13 qui est en position fixe.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the first support and guiding means 10 and / or the second support and guiding
Dans une mise en oeuvre particuliĆØre de l'invention, on dĆ©place, avec au moins un degrĆ© de libertĆ©, un chariot 11 porteur du premier moyen d'appui et de guidage 10, pour exercer cet effort F sur le lacet 1.In a particular embodiment of the invention, a
Et, plus particuliĆØrement, on imprime Ć ce chariot 11 un mouvement d'avance, notamment rĆ©gulier, permettant le calandrage progressif selon l'invention.And, more particularly, it prints to this carriage 11 a forward movement, including regular, allowing the progressive calendering according to the invention.

Dans une mise en oeuvre particuliĆØre de l'invention, on interpose un dĆ©flecteur 15 sur le trajet du lacet 1 aprĆØs sa sortie de la zone de calandrage pour assurer son enroulement correct.In a particular embodiment of the invention, a
Le premier moyen d'appui et de guidage 10, le deuxiĆØme moyen d'appui et de guidage 12, et le troisiĆØme moyen d'appui et de guidage 13, peuvent ĆŖtre chacun rĆ©alisĆ© sous la forme d'un arbre fixe, d'un galet fou, ou encore d'un galet motorisĆ© pour assurer l'avancement du lacet 1 dans la calandre 20.The first support and guide means 10, the second support and guide means 12, and the third support and guide means 13 may each be in the form of a fixed shaft, a idler roller, or a motorized roller to ensure the advance of the lace 1 in the
Si plusieurs d'entre eux sont motorisĆ©s, ils peuvent ĆŖtre non parfaitement synchrones, de faƧon Ć assurer par exemple une tension du lacet 1 dans la zone de calandrage entre les deuxiĆØme B et troisiĆØme C zones de contact. Dans une variante, le deuxiĆØme moyen d'appui et de guidage 12 et le troisiĆØme moyen d'appui et de guidage 13 sont tous deux motorisĆ©s, et le premier tend Ć imprimer au lacet une vitesse tangentielle lĆ©gĆØrement supĆ©rieure au second.If several of them are motorized, they may be not perfectly synchronous, so as to ensure for example a tension of the lace 1 in the calendering zone between the second B and third C contact areas. In a variant, the second support and guiding means 12 and the third support and guiding
L'ajout optionnel d'une opĆ©ration de matriƧage permet de supprimer le plat de calandrage prĆ©sent en fin de lame depuis la mise en place du calandrage Ć la place de la mise en bague traitement thermique. Ceci peut Ć©viter le cambrage des ressorts manuels Ć brides rapportĆ©es.The optional addition of a stamping operation makes it possible to remove the calendering plate present at the end of the blade since the introduction of the calendering instead of setting the heat treatment ring. This can prevent the camber of manual springs reported.
L'invention est illustrĆ©e dans un cas particulier non limitatif oĆ¹ le premier moyen d'appui et de guidage 10 est une tige, le deuxiĆØme moyen d'appui et de guidage 12 et le troisiĆØme moyen d'appui et de guidage 13 sont deux galets. En somme, Ć un instant donnĆ©, les surfaces de contact entre la tige 10, les deux galets 12, 13, et le lacet 1, dĆ©terminent sur ce dernier un profil voisin d'un arc de cercle avec une certaine courbure instantanĆ©e.The invention is illustrated in a particular nonlimiting example where the first support and guide means 10 is a rod, the second support and guide means 12 and the third support and guide means 13 are two rollers . In sum, at a given moment, the contact surfaces between the
Pour que le ressort 100 puisse s'enrouler Ć plat sur le plan de travail, il faut que cette courbure instantanĆ©e varie Ć peu prĆØs rĆ©guliĆØrement pendant tout le calandrage de la zone spirale d'accumulation 5.In order for the
Et cette courbure instantanĆ©e croĆ®t, si possible de faƧon rĆ©guliĆØre, depuis la fin de lame jusqu'au cou.And this instantaneous curvature grows, if possible on a regular basis, from the end of the blade to the neck.
Par exemple on applique sur le chariot 11 porteur de la tige 10 une pression rĆ©guliĆØrement croissante en fonction de l'avance du lacet 1, dĆ©finie par la vitesse de rotation d'au moins un galet motorisĆ©, qui peut ĆŖtre le galet 14 de la
Pour quantifier les diamĆØtres de calandrage, citons quelques exemples des diffĆ©rentes grandeurs:

Plus particuliĆØrement, la calandre 20 comporte un dĆ©flecteur 15 interposĆ© sur le trajet du lacet 1 aprĆØs sa sortie de la zone de calandrage pour assurer son enroulement correct. Naturellement, ce dĆ©flecteur 15 peut ĆŖtre motorisĆ©, et mobile selon un ou plusieurs degrĆ©s de libertĆ©.More particularly, the
Plus particuliĆØrement encore, le premier moyen d'appui et de guidage 10 et/ou le deuxiĆØme moyen d'appui et de guidage 12 et/ou le troisiĆØme moyen d'appui et de guidage 13 est rĆ©alisĆ© sous la forme d'un galet motorisĆ© pour assurer l'avancement du lacet 1 dans la zone de calandrage. Plus particuliĆØrement, au moins deux de ces premier moyen d'appui et de guidage 10, deuxiĆØme moyen d'appui et de guidage 12, troisiĆØme moyen d'appui et de guidage 13, sont motorisĆ©s de faƧon non synchrone, de faƧon Ć assurer une tension du lacet 1 dans la zone de calandrage.More particularly still, the first support and guiding means 10 and / or the second support and guiding means 12 and / or the third support and guiding means 13 is in the form of a motorized roller to ensure the advance of the lace 1 in the calender area. More particularly, at least two of these first support and guiding means 10, second support and guiding means 12, third support and guiding means 13, are motorized in a non-synchronous manner, so as to ensure lace tension 1 in the calender zone.
Plus particuliĆØrement, la calandre 20 comporte au moins un galet d'entraĆ®nement 14 motorisĆ© pour assurer l'avancement du lacet 1 dans la zone de calandrage.More particularly, the
Naturellement la calandre 20 peut avantageusement comporter des moyens de pilotage et/ou des moyens de mĆ©morisation, pour piloter les diffĆ©rents organes motorisĆ©s et reproduire Ć l'identique des sĆ©quences mĆ©morisĆ©es pour l'obtention de ressorts de faƧon reproductible. Ces moyens de pilotage peuvent, encore, ĆŖtre combinĆ©s avec des capteurs de mesure d'Ć©paisseur du ressort en aval de la zone de calandrage, et/ou de mesure de sa concavitĆ© aprĆØs calandrage.Naturally, the
L'invention concerne encore un ressort de barillet 100 d'horlogerie, dont les spires ne sont pas jointives, et sont distantes l'une de l'autre Ć l'Ć©tat libre du ressort. Plus particuliĆØrement, ce ressort 100 est un ressort tĆ©flonnĆ©, dont les spires tĆ©flonnĆ©es sont distantes l'une de l'autre Ć l'Ć©tat libre du ressort. L'invention permet la rĆ©alisation d'un tel ressort.The invention also relates to a
La technique de calandrage progressif selon l'invention apporte plusieurs avantages:
- la suppression ou au moins la rĆ©duction de l'emmĆŖlement des ressorts lors des manipulations, et lors des opĆ©rations en vrac telles que passage au four, lavage, tĆ©flonnage, chargement sur automates, grĆ¢ce Ć la sĆ©paration des spires des ressorts, car le procĆ©dĆ© de calandrage selon l'invention est Ć©tudiĆ© pour que chaque ressort reste dans une configuration plane et ne se dĆ©tende pas lors des manipulations;
- la rƩduction des raies dues au frottement avec les galets et axes de la calandre ;
- la suppression du contact entre les spires, permettant un lavage, notamment par solvants, et un tƩflonnage plus efficaces ;
- la rƩduction du matelas du ressort rƩsultant de l'entrecroisement des spires, frƩquent dans l'art antƩrieur.
- the elimination or at least the reduction of the entanglement of the springs during handling, and during the bulk operations such as baking, washing, tefloning, loading on automata, thanks to the separation of the turns of the springs, because the method of calendering according to the invention is designed so that each spring remains in a planar configuration and does not relax during handling;
- reduction of the lines due to friction with the rollers and axes of the shell;
- the elimination of the contact between the turns, allowing a washing, in particular by solvents, and a more efficient tefloning;
- the reduction of the spring mat resulting from the interlacing of the turns, common in the prior art.
