BED OR COUCH FABRIC.
Specification of Letters Patent.
rammed Jan. 28, 1913.
Application filed March 16. 1911. Serial No. 614,754.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM J.. GROTEN- HUIS, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of Chicago, county, Illinois,
Fabrics, of Which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to metallic fabrics for couches or beds in general, but more particularly to fabrics of this kind in which transverse and longitudinal members are interwoven to form a. supporting structure, and in which the yielding or resilient effect is produced by helical springs to which the ends of the longitudinal members are secured, whereby the entire fabric is flexible and springy when subjected to weight, and whereby each longitudinal member is free to slide endwise on the transverse members to equalize the tension of the springs at opposite endsof said fabric, the said transverse members being tied together at their ends to form a ladder-frame which is mov-v able endwise by reason of the springs at each end thereof.
The object of my invention is to provide in a fabric of the foregoing character, a number of additional members which extend over all the self-adjusting longitudinal members, and means auxiliary to the interweave of the fabric for preventing the longitudinal members from spreading apart, said means being disposed on the underside of. said additional membersto prevent into the bedding, and lateral movement of said longitudinal members being inopposed by the transverse members except for th friction aused by the intcrweave, whereby the fabric is not only firm and noiseless, but also of such character that the longitudinal members are held'in place by the ladder-frame which is formed in part by said additional members, but without in any way interfering with the said endwise sliding self-adjustment of said longitudinal mem- .bers.
To these and other useful ends, my in vention consists in matters hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of a metallic bed or couch fabric embodying the princples of my invention, showing the same stretched on a frame to form a mattress. Fig. 2 is an en- Cook have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Bed or Couch largedsection of one of the longitudina slats or members, showing' the adjacent portion of one of the cross slats which are pro vided with eyes that receive the longitudinal members, and that preserve or equalize the spaces between said members. Fig. 3 is a perspective of the parts shown in Fig. 2.
As thus illustrated, my invention comprises side slats A, two at each side of the fabric, which are spaced apart and permanently connected by cross slats B riveted thereto. Inthis way a truss or stiff frame is provided at each side edge of the fabric. The intermediate longitudinal members are interwoven with the cross members B and have free sliding Contact therewith.
' be members or slats A and C have their ends connected to helical springs D, whereby these members 0 arefree to slide endwise on the cross members, and this contact is free and unrestricted. \Vith this arrai'igement, each longitudinal member is free to adjust itself endwise to equalize the tension of the springs at opposite ends thereof. In order to equalize the spaces between the slats or members 0, and prevent the latter from being displaced laterally, cross slats E areprovided, each slat being disposed about midway between one end of the fabric and the center thereof. Each slat E is provided on its under surface with eyes a that are spaced apart and arranged in a row. The slats O are threaded through the eyes a and are thus held against lateral displacement without'interfering with the sliding contact which the members C must have in order to have free endwise shift independently of each other. In this way each meml'ier C pulls upon its springs I), one at each end, and does not pull upon anything else, as it has no point of attathun-nt to any other )OIiiOll of the fabric. The eyes 0 are disposet on the underside of the additional cross members F to prevent injury to the bedding. \Vitb this arrangement, therefore, means are provided auxiliary to the intcrweare to prevent the longitudinal members from s arcading apart. The trusses or still .traincs formed by the members A, and the end por tions of the cross members, serve to prevent lateral displacement or distortion of the sides of the fabric, when weight is thrown upon the center of the fabric, thus preventing undesirable sagging. The springs D are attached to the end bars F which are. con
' and' described. I
What I claim as my invention is:
1. A bed frame and resilient metal fabric stretched thereon, comprising two sets of longitudinally opposed springs for uniting the opposite ends of the fabric with the bed frame, and means whereby the transverse action of the fabric, and also the longitudinal action thereof, are sustained entirely by the said springs, including'longitudinal members having free and unlimited sliding self-adjustment on the fabric to equalize the tension of the springs at opposite ends thereof, and cross members provided with devices for preventing lateral displacement of said longitudinal members without interfering with the free endwise sliding self-adjustment thereof, the fabric being interwoven 1t)hroughout the area between said cross memers.
2. A bed frame and resilient metal fabric stretched thereon, comprising two sets of longitudinally opposed springs for uniting the opposite ends of the fabric with the bed frome, and means whereby the transverse action of the fabric, and also the longitudinal action thereof, are sustained entirely b the said springs, including longitudinal members having free and unhmited sliding self-adjustment on the fabric to equalize the tension of the springs at opposite ends thereof, and cross members provided with devices for preventing lateral displacement of said longitudinal members without interfering wit-h the free endwise sliding self-adjustment thereof, the .fabric being interwoventhroughout the area between said cross members, and said devices being disposed on the frame, and means whereby the transverse action of the fabric, and also the lon itudinal action thereof, are sustained entirely by the said springs, including longitudinal members having free and unhmited sliding self-adj ustment on the fabric to equalize the tension of the springs at opposite endsthereof, and cross members provided .with devices for preventing lateral displacement of said longitudinal members without interfering with the free endwise sliding self-adjustment thereof, the fabric being interwoven throughout the area between sald cross members, and said devices being formed to prevent injury to the bedding.
Signed by me at Chicago, Illinois, this 13th day of March 1911.
