  • Bi-directional non-linear spring
    Patent number: 11015669
    Abstract: A linear spring member having an annular region with a first thickness connected in series by cylindrical regions having a second thickness, wherein the first thickness is less than the second thickness. Outer portions of adjacent annular regions are coupled together by a first cylindrical region and inner portions of adjacent annular regions are coupled together by a second cylindrical region such that the effective spring rate of the bi-directional spring device increases symmetrically as it is displaced in either compression or tension.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 2, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 25, 2021
    Assignee: Raytheon Company
    Inventors: Andrew L. Bullard, Shane E. Wilson, Ricardo A. Aguilera, Ryan Yates
