A boot torsion spring is a coiled spring that stores mechanical energy when twisted or torqued. Installed in the hinge or latch system, the torsion spring assists in lifting and holding the boot lid in an open position. When the boot is closed, the spring is twisted or compressed, storing potential energy. Upon opening, the released energy aids in lifting the boot, and the spring returns to its twisted state when the boot is closed again. This mechanism helps in the smooth and controlled movement of the boot lid.
