Abstract:
1. A spring vice, comprising: a tensioning device that can be axially introduced into a coil spring to be tensioned; a first disk-shaped pressure plate provided with an opening and which can be detachably connected to a first end of said tensioning device via said opening; a second pressure plate provided with an opening and which can be detachably connected via said opening to an adjusting member of said tensioning device, said adjusting member being adjustable relative to said first end of said tensioning device; a drive associated with said tensioning device, said drive having a wrench profile at said second end of said tensioning device, said wrench profile being accessible from outside of said coil spring for adjusting said adjusting member and each of said pressure plates having a partially circular tensioning surface which is limited toward an inside and an outside of said coil spring and is interrupted by a recess, said tensioning surface for receiving a spring turn of said coil spring to be tensioned, said tensioning surface defining a pressure plate center, said opening of at least one of said pressure plates being arranged in said pressure plate, within a perimeter of said tensioning surface, in an eccentrically offset manner with respect to said center to adjust a position of said drive of said tensioning device of said spring vice attached to said coil spring relative to said coil spring.
