coil spring
Helical energy store
A coil spring is a spring made from wire wound in a helix shape, storing mechanical energy when compressed or stretched.
Coil springs appear in vehicle suspensions, mattresses, pens, and countless mechanisms where controlled resistance or bounce is needed: The mechanic replaced the worn coil springs on the front suspension.
