<p>The elastic component may be utilised as a spring and comprises a hollow round section body (1) with part circumferential slots (3). The slots on each partic. circumference are staggered relative to slots in adjacent circumferential sets. The circumferential zones (6) between slots (3) constitute identical flexible blades, and at least one of the dimensional characteristics of successive zones is varied. The disposition of the slots (3) provides at least three link sectors (5) between successive blades (6), and the three sectors (5) align in a radial plane i.e. perpendicular to the axis (4) of the section.</p> |
