Application led June 3, 1918. Serial No. 237,910.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, HAROLD O. EnsrN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Anoka,'in the county of Anoka and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bed-Spring Fabrics, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to link fabrics for use on bed bottoms, fences or any other use for which a wire fabric may be employed. An object of the invention is to provide a wire fab-ric of this character which shall be Y bending and sagging effects shall be reduced to a minimum.
A further object is to provide a structure Well adapted to preserve under load the true relative positions of the various units and links composing` the same, the load being evenly distributedV throughout the structure of the fabric and the fabric being more resilient.
Afurther object is to provide a fabric in which the link elements may easily be separated to readily permit the replacement of worn or damaged links from time to time. A still further object is to provide a link elevment for use in constructing a link fabric,
which is inexpensive, simple, strong and effective in use.
With these and other objects in view, my invention comprises the features of construction and combination of parts hereinafter more particularly described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a plan of a portion of a bed bottom constructed with my improved wire link fabric; Fig. 2 is a perspective of one of the links forming part of my improved fabric; and Fig. .3 is a perspective of another one of the links which may be employed in constructing my' improved fabric.
In the drawing I have illustrated my 1nvention applied to a bed having the usual head and foot rails 2 and 3 and side rails such as 4. The bed bottom is formed With my improved link fabric A secured at each end to the head and foot rails by spring helicals 5. The link fabric is composed'of a plurality of link elements B in its body portion and a plurality of side link elements C, all of said link elements being secured to-V gether in the manner as hereinafter set forth. Each of the link elements B consists of a single piece of wire bent substantially into the shape of the capital letter H. The
median portion of the piece of wire thus formed produces the cross-bar 6 of the letter H and the end'. portions the side bars 7 and 8. Each of the side bars is formed by doubling the Wire into an' eye member 9 on one end, and a hook member 10 on the opposite end, the intervening shank portions of the side bar thus having a double thickness of the wire. The portion of the wire constituting part of the cross bar and lying adjacent to the side bar is offset to form a pocket 11 in which the extremity of the wire is fastened around the end of the'cross bar by a short loop 12. rlhe side bars of the link are alike. In forming the fabric, the links are alternately secured together,-that is, the hooks of the adjoining side bars of a pair of the links B are secured endwise to the eyelets 9 of the side bars of a singleglfink B as suggested in Fig. 1. To complete the gap left by the alternate formation of the links at the side edge of the fabric thus formed single or half link elements C are employed, which element resembles one of the side bars only of the letter H into which the links of the body of the fabric are assembled. The link C is made out of a single piece of wire doubled back upon itself into a shank With its ends secured together by the. loop connection 13 formed in the wire. One end of the link C is shaped into an eyelet 14 and the opposite end into a hook 15. The eyelet 14 is adapted to be secured to the unfastened hook end of one of the links B and the hook end 15 is adapted to be secured through the eyelet of a corresponding link B, which is unconnected. In this manner the fabric is completed with a salvage edge along one side. The helicals 5 are connected by loops or hooks 16 to the remaining unconnected hook ends of the links at one end of the fabric, and by hooks 17 to the eyelets of thc unconnected ends of the links at the opposite end of the fabric, the remaining ends of the helicals being secured to the head and foot bars :2 and 3 of the bed frame. The helicals, fabric, and head and foot bars are so arranged that the fabric is held under tension in the usual manner by the helicals. links constituting my improved fabric are simple and inexpensive in construction and are effective in use. They can be easily uncoupled or assembled for construction and repair purposes, and they are adapted when assembled to distribute the weight 0f the load evenly to all of the helicals thus making Thethe fabric more resilient and evenly flexible.
It Will be noted that the cross bars 6 holdV bility of the fabric laterally. Thus the links may be termed a triple link fabric, the side bars of the links B constituting one link, the single link C another link, and the cross bar 6 still another link.
In accordance with the patent statutes, 'I have described the principles of operation of my invention, together With the apparatus which I now consider t0 represent the best embodiment thereof, but I desire to have it understood that the construction shown is only illustrative, and that the invention can be carried out by other means and applied to uses other than those above set forth Within the scope of the following claims.
Having described my invention, what l claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:- Y
l. A fabric link, consisting of a single piece of Wire bent into substantially the shape of the capital letter H, the median portion of said Wire forming the cross bar and the ends being doubled into the side bars, each of said side bars being formed with an eye loop on one end and a hook member on the other end, and the extremities of the Wire being secured to the ends of said cross bar.
2. A fabric link, consisting of a single piece of Wire bent into substantially the yshape of the capital letter H, the median portion of said Wire forming the cross bar and the ends being doubled into the side bars, each of saidrside bars being formed with an eye loop on one end and a hook member on the other end, and the extremities of the Wire being secured to portions of the wire adjoining said cross bar.
3. A fabric link, comprising a single piece of Wire forming a cross bar bet-Ween its ends and having its ends bent double and shaped into a pair of side bars, each of said side bars being formed into an eye on one end and a hook on its opposite end, the portion of the Wire near the junction of said cross bar and sidebar being formed into a pocket, and the extremities of the Wire forming side bars being secured in said pockets.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
HAROLD O. ERSIN.
