Commenting on a suspension invention for a spring with a low rating.

This appears to be an invention for a spring with infinitely low rating. It is not quite clear what happens when an extra passenger gets in the back seat.

With Torsion bar suspension, it should be possible to get a spring as low in rating as is practical, without a toggle mechanism
