I found one patent in the name of the Xerox corporation. United States Patent 3583505
Abstract:
A spring scale comprising, in a preferred embodiment, an upright tripod stand terminating at the upper portion thereof in a tripod head, an open sleeve in said head, a transparent graduated tube inserted therein with a spring in said tube connected at its lower end to a weighing pan.
There would be other patents as to other type or mechanism on another spring scale.
Springs are used to store mechanical energy. Tension/extension springs get longer as force is applied (seen in trampoline springs), compression springs get shorter as force is applied (seen in bed springs), and torsion springs rotate through an angle as force is applied (seen in clocks).
because these springs are long in length & more over less suspension system.
The automotive industry is the largest consumer of steel springs.
With springs.
i think sag compensation springs are used in dead end termination of quadra conductor bus where jack bus is passing below bus & required clearence if we are not getting betn two buses their these sag compensation springs are used to bring conductor under tension .
Bed springs were invented in the United States in the 19th century. The first patented design for bed springs was developed by a farmer named Thomas Marshall in 1857 in Ohio.
The bed spring was invented by Louis Frank, in the late 1800s, or early 1900s. This was my great grandfather.
a aquduct is a stuture that helps water travel from lakes or springs to cities and the Assyrians invented it about 691BC
Actually springs were invented in the bronze age by the ancient men,some non coiled springs [bow and arrow] & after that by the ctebius of Alexandria developed a method for making bronze with spring-like characteristics by producing an alloy of bronze with an increased proportion of tin, and then hardening it by hammering after it is cast.
A chariot of Tutankhamun, the Egyptian Pharoah, had springs. It was make in Egypt in 1333 BC. The Romans used leaf springs in their carts. The first coiled spring was patented in Britain by R. Tradwell in 1763.
James Richard invented the slinky in 1943. He came up with the idea while working as a naval engineer and developed the toy out of tension springs.
The Anglepoise lamp was invented by George Carwardine, a British automotive engineer, in the 1930s. Carwardine designed the lamp with springs and a unique mechanism that allowed for flexible and adjustable movement.
My dad worked on a vehicle of the owners wife that invented the first subway. The subway brand and everything was invented in michigan. Near Gowen, or cedar springs. please email me for more info at: ldslindsay@gmail.com
There are 4 main types of springs: - Seepage springs - Fracture springs - Tubular springs - Mineral springs
Common types of springs include compression springs, extension springs, torsion springs, and leaf springs. Compression springs are used to absorb and store energy, while extension springs are designed to stretch and store energy. Torsion springs exert rotational force, and leaf springs are flat strips of metal used to support and dampen vibrations in vehicles.
The different types of water springs are artesian springs, natural springs, geyser springs, and seep springs. Artesian springs are pressurized and occur when groundwater flows to the surface due to geological formations. Natural springs are formed when groundwater rises to the surface through permeable rock layers. Geyser springs are characterized by intermittent eruptions of hot water and steam. Seep springs are small, slow-flowing springs that emerge from the ground due to underground water sources.
