Abstract
A combined spring and damper comprises a plurality of spring elements (1), each of zig-zag form, disposed in radial planes with respect to a common axis. Also situated on the axis is a mass (7) of resilient material. When the spring is compressed along the axis the inward contraction of inner reflex portions (3) of the spring elements is resisted by the mass of resilient material, and the resulting axial movement of the radially inner reflex portions is resisted by contact with the mass of resilient material and axial compression thereof.
