Abstract: A method for manufacturing spring assemblies, in which a spring is fixed to a hole formed in a linear or an annular metal plate by compressing side edges of the plate to collapse the hole after inserting an end of the spring therethrough. The process is simple, and the obtained spring assemblies have excellent durability because there are not any projecting parts for installing springs on the metal plate, which are otherwise a factor in fatigue failure.
