Description

UNINTERRUPTED, NESTED SPRING AND ITS MANUFACTURE

The Related Art

The invention relates to springs providing elasticity between the platforms/layers where they are located.

The invention, particularly, relates to helical springs developed one in-other and uninterrupted to make oscillation easier to provide support for second spring at the second pressure of the second spring after elasticity

Background of the Related Art Today springs made of various materials in different sizes are used in different areas. The springs provide elasticity of the said platforms where they are located between two platforms. When pressure is applied onto the platform, they are compressed and power is accumulated. During that time they also want to complete the oscillation. When the pressure applied starts to decrease, they start to conduct oscillation. This oscillation operation continues until al power occurred after compression on the spring is discharged and damp. No matter the material they are made of, the springs are deformed after a certain number of oscillations and lose their functions.

In the existing art, spring manufacturing is provided by means of the wire material started to have a spiral form from a point towards other direction and wound helical shape is obtained at the end of the process. Single spring manufacturing is applied in the existing art. Manufacturing is performed with different material and in different diameters. However, they are manufactured as single products. It is not likely to manufacture one spring couple one in the other and uninterrupted integral way.

In another spring embodiment used today, a second sack spring of smaller sizes is put into the main spring in order to increase the resistance so as to reinforce the spring oscillation. Thus, it is tried to increase the resistance and life of use. Since the springs used one-in-the other are not integral, a full advantage cannot be achieved. Moreover, they cause physical unevenness as they are not integral. Therefore, it is likely to have deformation onto both springs. The invention of patent number GB734949 relates to spiral/helical spring located between two layers for use in upholstery and housings. The said spring is located between two layers formed with weaving process in order to use in upholstery or housings. As stated above, it loses its function and gets deformed after a certain use time since the resistance is low.

Again today, the invention of patent number GB 190825409 relates to spring wheel having multi part structure containing springs located spirally between one inner frame/rim and one outer frame or tyre and connected to inner and outer frame. The said spring wheel consists of one inner and outer component interconnected by means of flanges, spiral springs located between inner and outer components. Each spring includes one inner spring by means of telescoping. The diameters of the said springs equal to the distance between flanges. As also stated above, the said two springs in the telescopic spring system used in the said spring wheel are not integral and are independent. For that reason, the spring resistance has slightly increased but deformation could not be prevented. Furthermore, adequate resistance and performance could not be achieved. In conclusion, it has been necessary to make development in the related art due to need for uninterrupted, telescopic spring and its manufacturing and inadequate solutions.

Purpose of the Invention

In order to eliminate the disadvantages encountered in the related art, one purpose of the invention is to increase the resistance by means of providing one integral structure via manufacturing inner and outer spring uninterruptedly.

Another purpose of the invention is to facilitate manufacturing thanks to no need for any joint or welding between inner and outer spring.

Another purpose of the invention is to provide longer life thanks to resistance characteristic.

Another purpose of the invention is to prevent deformation thanks to integral and uninterrupted structure.

Another purpose of the invention is to provide a more durable support after occurrence of a second pressure following compression thanks to resistance structure. Another purpose of the invention is to provide less use cost thanks to longer operation life.

Another purpose of the invention is to provide resistance and longer life of operation of materials where they are used, thanks to its resistance structure. Another purpose of the invention is to provide higher preference of materials where it is used because of resistance and longer operation life.

The structural and characteristic features of the invention as well as all advantages will be better understood in the detailed description provided by use and reference to the figures given below, and for that reason the assessment should be made based on the said figures and detailed description.

Detailed Description of the Invention

The invention relates to telescopic uninterrupted and integral manufactured spring (Y) to provide elasticity upon location between any two platforms and oscillation, and manufacturing method for it. The said spring (Y) is manufactured in the form of wire (T) made of different materials. The roller (10) and disks (20, 30) are used in manufacturing.

Figure 2a shows the representative view of the progress of the spring (Y) in right direction (a) upon rotation of roller A (10) in right direction (a). According to the figure, roller A (10) is in the form of a tyre whose centre is concave. Roller A (10) also gives direction to the wire (T) passing over it, in the direction (a, b) given to itself, and also determines the diameter of the spring (Y) to be obtained.

Figure 2b shows representative view of small scale spring (Y) manufacturing upon rotation of the roller A (10) approaching to the centre direction (c). According to the figure, two disks (20, 30) are positioned in a manner leaving space allowing passage of wire (T). The wire (T) passing in between the said disks (20, 30) coincides with roller A (10). The wire (T) hitting roller A (10) proceeds to right (a) upon turning of roller A (10) to right direction (a) (figure 2a). In addition, when roller A (10) moves in approaching to centre direction (c), the diameter of spring (Y) decreases.

Figure 3a shows the representative view of the progress of the spring (Y) in left direction (b) upon rotation of roller A (10) in left direction(b). According to the figure, roller A (10) turns to face left direction (b) and provides production of spring (Y) in left direction (b).

Figure 3b shows representative view of big scale spring (Y) manufacturing upon rotation of the roller A (10) moving away from the centre direction (d). Roller A (10) directing the wire (T) passing in between the disks (20, 30) moves in the moving away from centre direction (d) and increases diameter of spring (Y) and turns to left direction (b) and provides production of spring (Y) to left direction (b).

Starting from the starting point (e), the telescopic uninterrupted spring (Y) manufacturing method consists of the operation steps of: - Passing of wire (T) in between the disks (20, 30) and progressing,

- Winding of the wire (T) onto roller A (10),

- Upon facing the roller A (10) to left direction (b) and approaching centre direction (c) and rotation in the manner to obtain spring (Y) diameter (figure 3a), progress of wire (a) up to spiral form until processing starting point (f) and formation of inner spring (Y2) (figure 1a),

- rotation of the spring at starting point to reverse direction (f) so as to make roller A (10) to face right direction (a)

- Rotation of roller A (10) in a size to obtain preferred spring (Y) diameter after facing of roller A (10) to right direction (a) and progress in moving away from centre direction (d) (figure 2a), progress of wire in spiral form until ending point (g) in reverse direction to left (b) (figure 1 b),

With the said operation steps, firstly inner spring (Y2) and then outer spring (Y1 ) are obtained by means of winding from starting point (f) in reverse direction. After the inner spring inside (Y2) is obtained in opposite direction (left) (b), outer spring (y1 ) is obtained by means of winding of the wire (T) with rotation in reverse direction (right) (a) upon changing rotation direction of roller A (10) by use of the same wire (T).

Figure 4 shows final view of the invention of spring (Y) after manufacturing. According to the figure, inner spring (Y2) is shorter than outer spring (Y1 ).

In a preferred application of the invention, firstly outer spring (Y1 ) is started to be produced, and then inner spring (Y2) is produced. For that reason, preferably inner/outer spring (Y2, Y1 ), that is, inner spring (Y2) or outer spring (Y1 ) and then outer spring (Y1 ) or inner spring (Y2) can be manufactured. The term of inner/outer spring (Y2, Y1) refers to both production priority.

In another preferred embodiment of the invention, firstly outer spring (Y2) and then uninterruptedly and by use of the same wire (T), inner spring (Y1 ) is manufactured. In a preferred application of the invention, the deformations and sounds are prevented that might occur with outer spring (Y1 ) by means of covering inner spring (Y2).

In another application of the invention, the said spring (Y) can be manufactured in square, rectangular or triangle form instead of circular/spirai/helical form.
