Abstract
A spring in the form of a strip of fibre-reinforced plastics material, of zig-zag configuration having limbs connected by reflex portions with the longitudinal centre line of the strip lying substantially in a single plane, is secured to another component by a mounting affording a socket in which a limb portion of the spring is held. Such limb portion may extend longitudinally or tranversely of the spring as a whole. Two such springs may be disposed on opposite sides of a telescopic damper, to provide an assembly useful for vehicle suspension.
