Application filed January 15, 1914." Serial No. 812,299.
forming the subject matter of this application is a .esilient bed, and one object of the invention is to improve the construction of the lower frame ofthe bed.
Another object of the invention is to provide novel-means for connecting the springs with the lower frame of the bed.
A further object of the invention is to provide novel means for assembling the upper ends of the respective springs with each other and with the ties.
It is within the scope of the invention to.
changes in the precise embodiment of the' invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departin from the spirit of the invention.
In t e accompanying drawing: Figure 1 shows in top plan, a portion of a bed constructed in accordance with the present invention; Fig. 2 is a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a fragmental perspective illustrating the portions of the springs in the upper part of the bed; Fig. 4 is a perspective detail illustrating a fragment of the lower -frame of the bed; Fig. 5 is a sectional detail illustrating thespecific link construction whereby the springs are connected with each other and with the tie wires; Fig. 6 is a sectional detail taken longitudinally of one of the braces in the bot-' tom frame of thebed.
In carrying out the present invention,
there is provided a top frame 1 of any de sired construction The resilient stay wires .2 extend longitudinally of the top frame 1 selves and crossed to form downwardly extended resilient convolutions 3. Intermediate the convolutions 3, the stay wires 2 are equipped with lateral bends 4:. A plurality of-helical springs are provided, eac spring preferably although not necessarily being of conical. form, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. In the uppermost convolution 5 of each spring there is formed a lateral bend 6, lo' cated opposite to thebend 4: in the stay 2 and extended in acommon direction therewith. The extremity of the-upper terminal convolution 5 of the spring terminates in a depending finger 7.
'The invention further includes a link 8 which ordinarily is in the form of a strap of metal. At one end, the link 8 terminates in an S-shaped hook 9, the hoolnpassing around v the bends 6 and 4 of the spring and the stay respectively and passing therebetween. At its other end, the link 8 terminates in a hook 10 engaging the upper-convolution 5 of an adjoining spring adjacentthe finger 7 hereinbefore described. The hook 10 terminates in an underlyin tongue; 11 having an opening through which the finger 7' passes, and seats 12' are formed in the tongue 11 for the purpose of receiving the spaced portions of a the upper convolution 5 as will be understood readily from Fig. 5. Intermediate the seats 12, a spacing rib 14 is formed, which serves to hold the spaced parts of the upper convolution'in the seats 12.
In order to connect the outermost row .with a hook 17 which coactswith and engages the upper convolution of the spring.
The bottom frame of the bed corresponds approximately in contour to the top frame 1 and comprises a marginal strip 18 preferably fashioned from strap metal and set up edgewise. Extended transversely of the frame formed by the marginal strap 18 are cross strips19, also of strap metal,-the same being provided at their ends with ofi'set feet 20, connected to the strip 18 by means of rivets 21 or in any other suitable manner. Located between the cross strips 19 are U- shapedbraces 22, also fashioned from strap metal, the braces 22 terminating at their extremities in depending ends 23', the ends 23 of adjacent braces 22 abutting against opposed faces of one cross strip 19, the ends 23 being secured to the cross strips by means ofv rivets 24; or in any other suitable manner. Openings 25 are formed in the braces 22 adjacent their ends, and in the formation of these openings, U-shaped clips 26 result, the ends of the clips 26 extending downwardly through the openings 25 as will be appreciated readily from Fig. '6.
The lower convolution of the spring is indicated by the reference character 27 and rests upon the cross strip 19 and the braces 22, adjacent the point of union between these parts, as shown best in Fig. 4. Opposed portions of the lower convolutions 27 of the spring are gripped and held by the U-shaped clips 26 and the extremity of the lower convolution of the spring terminates in a depending finger 28 which engages the edge of one brace 22.
Especial attention is directed to the convolutions 3 of the stays 2, since, owing to the formation of these elements, the resiliency of the structure is greatly enhanced. The
stays 2 not only serve to hold the springs in place but, owing to the provision of the convolutions 3, they add to the resiliency of the structure, without materially impairing the functions of the stays as a means for V holding the springs iii-place.
V The bottom frame construction hereinbefore set forth affords great rigidity and may be fashioned at a trifling expense. The bottom frame, further, as will be appreciated readily when Fig. 4 is examined, comprises the-bend and said spring and passing therebetween, the link being provided at its other end with a hook engaging the terminal con- 'volution of an adjoining spring, the terminal convolution of said spring ending in an angular finger projecting through the hook. 2. In a device of the class described, a spring one convelution of which isprovided with a laterally offset bend; a stay wirehav- .ing a lateral bend offset in the same direction asthe bend in said convolution of the spring; a link terminated at one end in an S-shaped hook engaging the interior of the bend in the spring and the exterior of the bend in the stay and passing between the bend in the spring and the bend in the stay, the bend in the stay affording a space whereby the hook may pass between the spring and the stay.
In, testimony that weclaim the foregoing as our own, we have hereto aflixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
