Abstract
A mechanical spring strut including a cylinder, a first spring disposed in the cylinder, a barrel slidably disposed in the cylinder and engaging one end of the first spring, and a rod subassembly including a rod slidably disposed in the barrel, pins rotatable into and out of contact with the barrel, a second spring disposed in the rod, and a plunger slidably disposed in the rod and engaging the second spring. In use, exceeding a predefined compression threshold of the second spring rotates the pins into contact with the barrel thereby causing continued movement of the rod to compress the first spring. Uses of the mechanical spring strut include, but are not limited to, passenger seating and weight sensing applications.
