Yes, the spring and piston are inside the crown. There is a collar/socket soldered onto the bottom of the crown that holds it together.

The captured piston inside the crown screws solidly onto the top of the stem allowing the crown and spring to slide up and down on it. When you press the crown down you disengage it from the collar/socket
