PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a coil spring with a load axis offset from a geometric axis, and to provide a vehicular suspension system using the same. SOLUTION: The coil spring 1 is wound with its winding diameter larger at an intermediate in the axial direction than at the end. At one sidewise position 8, the contour of a coil is aligned almost straight to the axial direction, while at the other sidewise position 9, the contour of the coil is swollen to be protruded outward. Namely, the contour of the coil is in a D-shape in view from a specified sidewise direction. Thus, the coil spring is actualized with the load axis offset in parallel to the axis without being affected by buckling deformation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
