Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a method of fixing both ends relatively easy in a torsion spring used for a chair by overlapping plural band plate springs parallel into a bundle to form the torsion spring, and enable the adjustment of a spring constant by sliding a holding means at one end. CONSTITUTION:Four band plate springs 2, for instance, are bundled to form a torsion spring 1, and one end thereof is fixed by a fixture 3 capable of adjusting the fixing degree by an adjusting screw 4. The fitting strength is to be about the strength of lock fit. An operating rod or the rotating means 5 of a twisting force receiving device is fitted to the other end. The rotating means 5 receives the twisting force in the direction 6 of twisting force, and fitting is to be slide fit. A moving means 7 is jogged in the axial direction of the torsion spring 1 by a screw 9 rotated by a handle 8, and the rotating means 5 engaged by slide fit is moved on the torsion spring 1 to change its effective length, thus changing the spring constant of the torsion spring 1. When there is no need to change the spring constant, the position of the rotating means 5 can be kept fixed.

A conventional torsion spring such as a torsion bar has a large torsional force (hereinafter referred to as force) when used within a fixed length or a limited length. The specifications for chairs are excessive, the generated shear stress (hereinafter referred to as stress) is too large, and the twist angle (hereinafter referred to as angle) is small when used within the stress limit. We couldn't get anything that satisfied Also, in order to reduce stress, the diameter and width are reduced,
In order to compensate for the weakened force, it is difficult to restrain both ends of each of the bundles, even if a plurality of bundles are bundled as shown in FIG. 2 (d).

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a torsion spring for a chair, characterized in that a plurality of strip-shaped springs are stacked in parallel and bundled. In other words, the square bar is divided vertically (in the longitudinal axis direction) into a plate shape.
In order to obtain the required force and the required angle in the design, the number of strip plate springs corresponding to this purpose is set to a larger twist angle or the same angle with the same stress as that of the integrally constructed springs. Can reduce the stress.

The outer shape in which the strip-shaped springs are stacked and bundled is limited to a rectangular shape. The reason for this is that it is easy to restrain rotation at the ends, and if it is assumed to be circular, it is not possible to obtain the same cross section for each of the constituent strip springs, so it is not possible to expect uniformity in the generation of stress. is there.

Table 1 shows the calculation results, but when a spring is actually manufactured and its stress and angle are measured, some fluctuations can be seen. The reason is that interplate friction occurs due to the degree of restraint at the ends, and the greater the number of divisions, the greater the effect, and
This is because it depends on the dry and wet conditions between the plates or the condition of the oil film. However, these influences do not cause much problem unless the conditions are extremely different, and approximate to the calculation results.
