We study finite inhomogeneous deformations of a helical spring with a rectangular cross-section and a long cuboid. Two surfaces of the spring or the cuboid are joined to obtain a hollow cylinder. When body forces are absent the equilibrium equations reduce to ordinary differential equations. The stress-strain states are the same in each cross-section. The proposed deformations correspond to an inflation, an extension and a torsion of the obtained hollow cylinders. If the obtained cylinders are free of external applied loads, then they have residual stresses.
