  • Patent number: 9783017
    Abstract: A suspension coil spring, when assembled to a suspension device, in which a spring reaction axis (AR) is positioned coincident with or sufficiently close to a load input axis (AA), and the design and manufacture of coil springs are facilitated. Namely, a suspension coil spring (10) in a free state is formed so that a coil axis (AC) is bent in V-shape at bend point (PB) and the distance from the end turn center (CU) of the upper seating surface (38) to an imaginary coil axis (AI) is an upper inclination amount (VU), and the distance from the end turn center (CL) to the imaginary coil axis (AI) is a lower inclination amount (VL). When the suspension coil spring (10) is interposed between spring seats (22, 24) in the suspension device and compressed along a strut axis, the spring reaction AR axis of the suspension coil spring (10) is inclined and offset with respect to the imaginary coil axis (AL) according to the inclination amounts (VU, VL).

  • Patent number: 8764877
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a high-purity tungsten powder having a phosphorus content of less than 1 wtppm; wherein an ammonium tungstate solution containing 1 wtppm or more of phosphorus as an impurity in terms of the inclusion in tungsten is used as a starting material, this solution is neutralized with hydrochloric acid at a temperature of 50° C. or less to adjust the pH at 4 or more and less than 7 so as to precipitate ammonium paratungstate undecahydrate crystals, the resulting solution is heated to 70 to 90° C. and filtered in a high-temperature state so as to obtain ammonium paratungstate pentahydrate crystals, the obtained crystals are calcined so as to form a tungsten oxide, and the tungsten oxide is subject to hydrogen reduction so as to obtain a high-purity tungsten powder. Additionally provided is a method for producing a high-purity tungsten powder having a phosphorus content of 0.

  • Patent number: 6726191
    Abstract: A lower spring sheet has receiving portions on a sheet surface that supports a coil spring. Thus the sheet surface and a spring end portion of the coil spring come into contact discretely. The contact positions between the coil spring and the sheet surface maintain unchanged, however a undulated portion the spring end portion may have due to the manufacturing tolerance is extended when the coil spring is compressed.
