TORSION SPRING INTERNAL DAMPER

摘要

A spring assembly has a spring end (116) for engagement with a component (108) to bias the component (108) in a first direction. The spring end (116) is connected to a plurality of coils (118), which have an inner peripheral surface, and are mounted about a pivot pin (112). A damper (120) is positioned between an outer peripheral surface on the pivot pin (112) and the inner peripheral surface of the spring coils (118). The damper (120) is engaged by the spring coils (118), if the spring end (116) is driven in a direction opposed to the first direction.
