A flanged washer spring is provided, comprising a first disk having a central opening, outer periphery, a first side and a second side, the first disk further having an annular inner flange extending axially from the first side, and an annular outer flange extending axially from the second side, wherein a radial distance from the outer flange to the central opening is greater than a radial distance from the inner flange to the central opening. The disks are normally used in pairs with the outer flanges of the disks positioned axially adjacent to each other. The springs may be used in combination with a tool, such as a drilling accelerator or jar, having an elongated tubular body having a body stop for axially retaining a spring, and an elongated mandrel slidingly mounted within the tubular body, the mandrel having a mandrel stop for axially retaining a spring, the spring comprising a plurality of stacked disks.

In combination with a tool having an elongated tubular body having a body stop means for axially retaining a spring, and an elongated mandrel slidingly mounted within said tubular body, said mandrel having a mandrel stop means for axially retaining a spring assembly, an improvement comparing a spring assembly interposed between said stop means of said body and said stop means of said mandrel, said spring assembly comprising: a plurality of disks, each disk having a central opening with an axis therethrough, an outer periphery, a first side and a second side, said disks further having an annular inner flange extending axially from said first side, and an annular outer flange extending axially from said second side, wherein a radial distance from said outer flange to said central opening is greater than a radial distance from said inner flange to said central opening, and wherein said fist and second sides extend perpendicular from said axis of said central opening, and said plurality of disks are slidably mounted on said mandrel between said body stop means and said mandrel stop means, said mandrel passing through said central opening of said disks, and wherein said plurality of disks are arranged such t when a first side of a first disks faces a first side of a second disks an inner flange of said first disk will abut an inner flange of said second disk, and when a second side of said first disks faces a second side of a third disk said outer flange of said first disk will abut an outer flange of said third disk.
