[ Cf. F. spirale. See { Spiral}, a.] 1. ( Geom.) A plane curve, not reentrant, described by a point, called the generatrix, moving along a straight line according to a mathematical law, while the line is revolving about a fixed point called the pole. Cf. { Helix}. [ 1913 Webster] 2. Anything which has a spiral form, as a spiral shell. [ 1913 Webster] { Equiangular spiral}, a plane curve which cuts all its generatrices at the same angle. Same as { Logarithmic spiral}, under { Logarithmic}. { Spiral of Archimedes}, a spiral the law of which is that the generatrix moves uniformly along the revolving line, which also moves uniformly. [ 1913 Webster]
Spiral \ Spi" ral\, a. [ Cf. F. spiral. See { Spire} a winding line.] 1. Winding or circling round a center or pole and gradually receding from it; as, the spiral curve of a watch spring. [ 1913 Webster] 2. Winding round a cylinder or imaginary axis, and at the same time rising or advancing forward; winding like the thread of a screw; helical. [ 1913 Webster] 3. ( Geom.) Of or pertaining to a spiral; like a spiral. [ 1913 Webster] { Spiral gear}, or { Spiral wheel} ( Mach.), a gear resembling in general a spur gear, but having its teeth cut at an angle with its axis, or so that they form small portions of screws or spirals. { Spiral gearing}, a kind of gearing sometimes used in light machinery, in which spiral gears, instead of bevel gears, are used to transmit motion between shafts that are not parallel. { Spiral operculum}, an operculum whih has spiral lines of growth. { Spiral shell}, any shell in which the whorls form a spiral or helix. { Spiral spring}. See the Note under { Spring}, n., 4.
