The coil springs supporting the spring encircling rigid annulus in the spring wheel are combined with movable rigid links which transmit force to or from the springs. These links are usually pivotally connected to wheel or spring parts but may merely bear upon the combined parts without positive connection. The links are located outside of the springs as distinguished from spring encircled links.
(1) Note. For spring encircled links, see this class, subclasses 103 and 104.
