To Ellwiwm it Inc y concern Be it known that l, LEONARD A i'oorm, a'citizcn of the United States of America, residing at Detroit, in the county of .l'aync and State offiiichigun. have invemcd certain new and useful improvements in Upliolstcryrspring tonstruction, of which the rollowing is a speciiicniion, ro't'crcncc being had ths'rcin' to the accompanying drawings.

11: attaching upholstery covering to the frame or" a spring construction, it isdesirable that a neat finish he not only holds the leather or other material ltSEdySfllOQilll V in position but also protects the leather from abrasion and undue Wear. Where the'sprinqwosiruclion on which the upholstery 1S pl accd is entirely of metal this is a matter of difiiculty.

This invention relates to an spring construction in which provision is made for scouring the covering usccl in such manner as to present a pleasing appearance as well as guard the covering from Wear and defuccment.

The invention consists in thc matters obtained which upholstery;

hereinafter sot forth and more particularly pointed out in the up ended claims.

In the drawings, i igurc l is a view in vertical section of a portion of an upholstory spring construction hat embodies foat-urcs of the invention; Fi 2 is a plan view of the bottom frame 0 lion, showing the disposition of the parts without the addition oflhc springs or.npholster Fig. 3 is a View in detail showing a scctiozit'nrou h a base frame, with spplicd' spring u olstery the bottom retainirig msmhcr othe frame osing omit-ted; and l -5,6 and 7 are views showing various modifications in the form of a base frame strip.

Referring to the drawings, a loose frame is formed ofsstrip of s ppm-inwardly oxtcnding Bangs l and a lower rih 2 that is hollow, the groove hereof extending out wardly ontirely around the frame *or throughouothc length of the strips that form the frame. As isrlicotcd in Fig. l, the lower tlano's of this I'll) may be reverted to form a lsoge 3 on which the shoots 4 which form the covering of the bottom of thcspring construction may be suyported. The strip may be reinforced by a mm wire 55 pluced in the upper groove although chi is lnot lfilllclll'tv l'i in the fir-airings. Body such conslrum in dot-ail,

so metal that is bent itself to provide an u from the spirit of springs 5 of the usual type are secured on the upper groove by pinching down .the flange-l asundicated in Fig. 3. An upper rim frame 0 is supported by those body springs, which also rest on transverse strips 7 as in the ordinary standard construction of souls of tl 1is cha rc.ctc r A cushion built up in the usual unmncr of iilling 8, liningi) and covering it) rests upon the top frame and. body springs and -the"covering is brought down to form. an apron 11 and closing 'lhcflside of the construction. The lower marginal portionof the cover is drawn into the groove of the rib f2, and is held in place the loweinlip of the rib as innicstcd.

Gbviously the manner of attaching tho s gring to the strip does not change the "method of securing the covering in place and onc modification of. tho method of sttahing the spring is radical/ed. in Fig. 5, an ca? 13 lacing struck 1.13s to ovcrlic and retain the sprin 1n 5 ssirip is shown which has no provision for retaining the hottoni shoots of the construction but which has a flange ll 'bhot extends slightly beyond the bond 15 around which the cover 11 is drawn to prevent chafing of'ths lsticr. by objects rubbing against the side of the sheet. 11 Fig. 7 a further modification of the strip is indicated, an upright stififening rih l6 ing used to insure rigidity. is any of these constructions the covering is hold smoothly and sscurcly in position by moons which give a good finish to the seat and which onsblc the seat to be constructed vsry ohcsply. The covering is drswfismoothly toplzzce 9nd does not huvethc pocket. opycarancc common Where I the moi-gins are turned under the. base of the seal and cit roughly tacked there or else held by a draw string. While the strip is shown herein it is in itscll of suiiicient'strcngth to form the outer member of the base frame, it may be applied to a wood base if the latter he desirable and-the method of such apparent without need or further description.

Obviously, changes in the details of construction may be inside without dcpcriing the invention and I do not care to limit myself to any psriiculsr form or arrangement of ports.
