Abstract: A spring holder apparatus to hold one or more springs is constructed of a first base having a first floor, a first flange extending from at least a portion of the first floor, a first wall and a first flexible locking element; and a second base having a second floor, a second flange extending from at least a portion of the second floor, a second wall and a second flexible locking element. The flanges are adapted to axially support the spring and the walls are adapted to radially support the spring. The walls are further adapted to interpose with one another so as to allow them to move past each other as the bases are urged toward each other during compression of the spring. The flexible locking elements are adapted to slidingly engage each other so as to secure the bases to each other while allowing the bases to move toward each other during compression of the spring.
