SPRING-CUSHION'.
Application led November 25, 1.918. Serial No. 263,993.
To all'whom t may concern.'
Be it known that l, LEONARD A. YOUNG,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Highland Park, county of VVayneState of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Spring-Cushions, of which" the following is a specification.
This invention relates to spring cushions, and has for its object a seat cushion made up of a plurality of sleeves or elongated cells which are formed by plaited fabric that forms the partitions of the sleeves and the bottom of the cushion and which is sewed to the top, thereby allowing the top fabric to form the tops of the cells. These cells are intended to hold a complete row of springs under a given compression.
The method of assembling and making a cushion of this character is also made part of this application.
ln the drawings- Figure 1 isa top plan view with a part of the top fabric broken away, the springs being indicated diagrammatically. l
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary cross section of the spring cells.
Fig. 3 is a similar view showing some of the springs in place and under compression.
Fig. 4 is a view showing how the springs are .assembled into one of the elongated cells.
Fig. 5 is a cross section of the assembling tongs.
Spring cushions with various arrangements for pocketing and holding the spring under compression have been in use and have been patented. Most of these constructions employ a single pocket for each spring and further have a separate top and bottom fabric for the cushion. They, therefore, require a great deal of material and considerable labor cost. llt is the object of this invention to get the advantages of a spring that is pocketed and put under compression in a very much simpler and cheaper way.
The bottom fabric a is -plaited and the upper edges of the plaits are sewed to the top fabric c at d. rlhis forms a complete cell for a row of springs. The height of the cells is less than the normal length lof the coiled spring e, and consequently when it is y in place the spring is put under compression, which is advantageous for many realsons well lunderstood in the art.
pressing an entirerow, as shown in Fig. 4,
with a tong-like implement f or by any other convenient way. rllhe springs are held in proper relation and together by pinching the bottoms into the channel strips/g. V0f course, they could be held together at the bottoms in rows by many ofthe various supports that have already been adopted in the art. 'Clips m are punched through the fabric at the bottom and over adjoining channel strips g to connect together adjoining cells.
Ilhe advantage of this construction is that the top fabric serves the double purpose of an outs1de covering and also forms part of a pocket. This may be slightly heavier than would otherwise be the case if this is desirable. The backing or bottom of the cushion is formed by the associated bottoms lof the cells so that vno additional material is used v,
for this purpose. The springs may be assembled upon the channel strips by methods already in extensive use and with great ease and speed. Obviously a single row can be easily compressed and shoved into a cell with very little labor as compared with the old method of pocketing each spring as the cushion is built up.
A spring cushion comprising an envelop of flexible fabric folded and sewed to form a plurality of spring pockets extending from side to side of the envelop, a row of springs for each cell, the springs being transverse to said pockets and being held in vcompression by the fabric, means interconnecting the springs in each pocket and means interconnecting the series in one pocket with the series of the springs in another pocket.
ln witness whereof l have hereunto set my hand on the 20th da of November, 1918.. LEON RD A. .YUNQ
