2. Garter spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garter_spring

   A garter spring inside a rubber seal. A garter spring is a coiled steel spring that is connected at each end to create a circular shape, and is used in oil seals, shaft seals, belt-driven motors, and electrical connectors. Compression garter springs exert outward radial forces, while extension garter springs exert inward radial forces.

3. Spring steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_steel

   Applications include piano wire (also known as [11] music wire) such as ASTM A228 (0.80–0.95% carbon), spring clamps, antennas, springs (e. g. vehicle coil springs or leaf springs), and s-tines. Spring steel is commonly used in the manufacture of swords with rounded edges for training [12] or stage combat, [13] as well as sharpened swords for ...

4. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(device)

   A spring (made by winding a wire around a cylinder) is of two types: Tension or extension springs are designed to become longer under load. Their turns (loops) are normally touching in the unloaded position, and they have a hook, eye or some other means of attachment at each end. Compression springs are designed to become shorter when loaded ...

5. Constant-force spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-force_spring

   An ideal constant-force spring is a spring for which the force it exerts over its range of motion is a constant, that is, it does not obey Hooke's law.In reality, "constant-force springs" do not provide a truly constant force and are constructed from materials that do obey Hooke's law.

6. Coil spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coil_spring

   Types of coil spring are: Tension/extension coil springs, designed to resist stretching. They usually have a hook or eye form at each end for attachment. Compression coil springs, designed to resist being compressed. A typical use for compression coil springs is in car suspension systems. Volute springs are used as heavy load compression ...

7. Expansion spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_spring

   Expansion springs are used as electrical connectors in some children's electronics kits. They are easy to use with bare fingers , they accept multiple wires, they require no learning or expertise to use them, and the cost is low.
