Abstract
Canted coil springs with a plurality of interconnected coils that can deflect in at least two different directions with respect to a centerline are disclosed. The ability to deflect in at least two different directions may be utilized in applications that include electrical/mechanical connectors and rotary/static seals. The ability to deflect in at least two different directions may bring increased benefits in terms of geometrical requirements, tolerances, spring orientation, and spring force.
