PCT No. PCT/EP87/00469 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 22, 1988 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 22, 1988 PCT Filed Aug. 20, 1987.The invention relates to a spring device capable of softly dissipating the energy of an accelerated mass which is relatively great with respect to the inert mass of a reference system coupled to said spring device. The force deflection curve of said spring device exhibits an abrupt steep rise within the linear working range of the force deflection curve so that the required deflection is reduced. The spring device can include a soft suspension spring coupled to a control spring.
