Patented July16,f918.
Application filed August 1, 1916. Serial No. 112,600.
To all whom it may concern:
.LAN, 0f the city of Toronto, in the county of York, Province of Ontario, Canada, a subject of the King of Great Britain, have in.
vented certainnew and useful Improvements in Mattresses, of which the \following 1s a specification.
This invention relates particularly to 1mprovements in the type of mattress shown 1n United States Patent No. 685,160 of October 22nd, 1901, in which a plurality of 0011 springs incased and connected in closed pocketsform the body of the mattress, a covering of padding material and a casing of ticking being applied over the springs at each slde of the mattress. I
In such a mattress it has proved exceedingly difficult to satisfactorily arrange the tufting. The materials used in tufting an ordinary mattress are a strong cord and circular leather disks known as tufts. These are drawn down to form indentations in the mattress by tightly tying the cord. In a spring fitted mattress such as described, if the cord is drawn sufficiently tight to properly embed the tufts, the springs are so much compressed that the resiliency of the mattress is considerably interfered with. If the cords are not tightly tied, the tufts are not sufficiently embedded and form hard spots on the surface of the mattress.
I have overcome this difliculty by using tapes instead of pieces of cord or twine and by dispensing with the usual tufts, the tapes being tied in flat bows: If such tufting tapes pass clear through the mattress from side to side a certain measure of efiiciency may be obtained. I find it preferable, however, to simply pass the tapes through pairs of adjacent holes in the covering material and through theadjacent end of the spring pocket, the tapes being tied externally in a flat bow as already described. The ta es may then be drawn as tightly as possi le without interfering with the resiliency of the springs and the flat bows sufliciently em bedded in the surface of the mattress.
The invention is hereinafter described in detail and illustrated in the accompanying v drawings in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the mattress constructed in accordance with my invention;
Fig. 2 a vertical section of part of the same; and
Fig. 3 a plan view of part of the same.
In the drawings like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different res.
1 is the fabric from which the pockets for the springs 2 are formed. Lines of sewing 3 serve to form the pockets, which are also closed at their ends. rows of the pocketed springs are provided dependent on the size of the mattress to be formed. Suitable padding material 4, preferably. cotton or hair, is provided for each side of the mattress, ticking 5 being employed to inclose the padding.
6 are the tufting tapes which are passed through pairs of adjacent holes in the padding and its inclosing' material and also through the end material of certain of the pockets for the springs. These tapes are tied in neat flat bows and may be drawn sufficiently tight to properly embed the bows beneath the surface of the mattress. The casing thus forms a connection between the tufting tapes so that the mattress is held in shape as effectively as if the tapes extended through from side to side of the mattress. At the same time the resiliency of the springs is in nowise interfered with. To increase the security of the connection, the tapes may be passed around a portion of the spring as shown.
What I claim as my invention is 'A mattress comprising a plurality of coil springs incased in connected closed pockets; :1, covering of padding material incased in ticking applied over the springs at each side of the mattress; and independent flat tufting tapes for each side of the mattress, each tape passing through pairs of adjacent holes in A suflicient number of the coverings, through the adjacent end of a spring pocket, around part of the' 'inclosed spring, and tied externally in a flat bow sufliciently tight to produce a shallow de pression in the surface of the covering sulficient only to receive the bow.
Signed at Toronto, Canada, this 30th day of June, 1916. 7 GEORGE A. CONLAN.
