  3. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(device)

    A flat spring fixed only at one end like a cantilever, while the free-hanging end takes the load. Coil spring Also known as a helical spring. A spring (made by winding a wire around a cylinder) is of two types: Tension or extension springs are designed to become longer under load. Their turns (loops) are normally touching in the unloaded ...

  4. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

    In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

  5. Rail fastening system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_fastening_system

    The chair screw has a higher cost to manufacture than the rail spike, but has the advantage of greater fixing power—approximately twice that of a rail spike [18] —and can be used in combination with spring washers. [17] The chair screw was first introduced in 1860 in France (French tire-fond) and became common in continental Europe. [19]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_scale

    A spring scale, spring balance or newton meter is a type of mechanical force gauge or weighing scale. It consists of a spring fixed at one end with a hook to attach an object at the other. [ 1 ] It works in accordance with Hooke's Law , which states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with ...

  8. Pogo stick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogo_stick

    A spring stilt utilizing compression springs on each foot was patented in 1881 [2] by George H. Herrington of Wichita, Kansas, "for leaping great distances and heights". This was an antecedent of the pogo stick as well as today's spring stilts. The modern eponymously named pogo stick was invented by Max Pohlig and Ernst Gottschall, from Germany.

  9. Mattress coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattress_coil

    Mattress coils, also known as mattress springs, are coil springs used in a mattress. Coils are primarily used in the core (support layer) of innerspring mattresses , which is their original use. In recent years, small "micro-coils" are being used in the upholstery (comfort layer) of mattresses, primarily with a coil core ("coil-on-coil ...
