Abstract
This article presents a passive way to implement varying spatial springs. These are springs with controlling ports which can be used to modify their spatial rest length or spatial properties. These controlling ports have a dual structure which allows one to supervise the potential energy injected into the spring by varying its properties. A direct application in tele-manipulation using geometric scattering is briefly described
