To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES J.

The invention relatesto cushion seats of that type in which the skirt or facing of the cushion embraces the spring frame and is secured to the base thereof. It is the object of the present invention to provide a simple and inexpensive Imeans' of attaching the skirt to the base and the invention comprises the construction as hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a sectional perspective view of a spring seat to which my improvements are applied;

Fig. 2 is a cross-section showing the manner of attaching the skirt;

Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the skirt attached; and

Fig. 4 is a plan'view of a portion of the skirt-attaching frame detached. I

A is the spring frame of any suitable construction, provided with a base borderwire B, C is the cushion and D the skirt depending therefrom. I

To secure the lower end of the skirt to the frame I provide a securing member of U-shaped cross-section, which is engageable with the base border wire B after the skirt is drawn thereover and is then clenched to hold the same from disengagement. As preferably constructed this securmg member D is formed of a sheet-metal strip bent into U cross-section and longitudinally fashioned to conform to the shape of the base.

tions E- of the member D will 'permit of forcing said member over the border frame B and clamping the skirting intermediate .the same. The portions H of the member C which are intermediate the cut-away portions are then bent or clenched by any suitable tool and will thereby hold the member from disengagement. i

With the construction as described the '1 operation of securing the skirt to the frame tour of said base border wire, the sides of said strip extending upward and spaced to embrace the border wire and portion of the I skirt around the same, the outer side being straight and the inner side being cut away to clear said cross-bars at their points of attachment. to said base border wire andthe portions of said inner side intermediate said cut away portions being clenched to retain the strip.
