Latest Patents
One of Simons' latest patents focuses on methods of manufacturing coils and the apparatus for the same. This invention describes a spring assembly that includes a coil containing a core. The coil features a core positioned between reduced portions of the coil. The manufacturing device includes a coiling machine equipped with an insert device that operates in conjunction with a coiler. The coiler is programmed to create coils of appropriate diameters along the length of the coil. This includes a diameter large enough to accommodate the core and two smaller diameters that retain the core within the coil. The insert device is responsible for transferring the core to the coil after the first small diameter is formed and before the second small diameter is created. This innovative process allows for the coil with the core to be manufactured in a unified automated manner.
