2. Compression stockings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_stockings

   Compression stockings are constructed using elastic fibers or rubber. These fibers help compress the limb, aiding in circulation. Compression stockings are offered in different levels of compression. The unit of measure used to classify the pressure of the stockings is mmHg. They are often sold in a variety of pressure ranges.

3. Volute spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volute_spring

   A volute spring, also known as a conical spring, is a compression spring in the form of a cone (somewhat like the classical volute decorative architectural ornament). Under compression, the coils slide past each other, thus enabling the spring to be compressed to a very short length in comparison with what would be possible with a more conventional helical spring.

4. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

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

   Springs can be classified depending on how the load force is applied to them: Tension/extension spring The spring is designed to operate with a tension load, so the spring stretches as the load is applied to it. Compression spring Designed to operate with a compression load, so the spring gets shorter as the load is applied to it. Torsion spring

5. Garter spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garter_spring

   A garter spring inside a rubber seal. A garter spring is a coiled steel spring that is connected at each end to create a circular shape, and is used in oil seals, shaft seals, belt-driven motors, and electrical connectors. Compression garter springs exert outward radial forces, while extension garter springs exert inward radial forces.

6. Coil spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coil_spring

   Coil springs are commonly used in vehicle suspension. These springs are compression springs and can differ greatly in strength and in size depending on application. A coil spring suspension can be stiff to soft depending on the vehicle it is used on. Coil spring can be either mounted with a shock absorber or mounted separately.

7. Lucien LaCoste - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucien_LaCoste

   Simplified LaCoste suspension using a zero-length spring LaCoste discovered the zero-length spring in 1932 while performing an assignment in Arnold Romberg 's undergraduate physics course. A zero-length spring is a spring supported in such a way that its exerted force is proportional to its length, rather than the distance it is compressed.
