MEANS FOR TUFTING MATTRESSES AND THE LIKE.
Application filed October 29, 1927.
l-leretofore these articles have been ordinarily tufted by drawing the points of depres sion between the tufts together by means of a cord or thread passed through soft buttons placed on the outside of the depressed points.
These buttons being exposed on the outside of the ti ching or other covering of the article, collect dust, and, become detached leaving the drawing thread or cord free to slip through the covering and thus destroying the surrounding tufts.
To avoid this objection, it has been proposed. to stitch pendent pieces of fabric to the inside of the covering on one side of the opposite points of depression, and draw these loose pieces together by means of a thread or cord passed through metal eyelets inserted in the covering at the opposite points of depression. But it is dillicult and impractical to reach these pendent pieces of fabric through the eyelets with the needle and the eyelets being uncovered, permit dust, etc., to enter the interior of the article.
My invention consists briefly in stitching or providing eyelets in the covering at the opposite points of depression, and stitching, preferably to the inside of the covering, around the opposite eyelets, diaphragms of tough fabric or material such as canvas, and then drawing the points of depression of the covering together by passing the needle and thread or cord through the eyelet and diaphragn'i on one side, through the stuffing, through the diaphragnn and eyelet on the other side, and then back through the opposite eyelets and diaphragms. and tying the ends of the cord or thread together outside the first diaphragm.
The opposing points of depression are thus drawn tautly together by the doubled thread or cord passed twice through the opposite diapl'iragms, and the tied ends of the cord are concealed and protected against abrasion in side the covering, while the eyelet holes are closed against the entry of dust, etc., by the underlying diaphragm secured 011 all sides thereof.
In order that my invention may be fully Serial No. 229,775.
drawings forming part of this application in which like parts are designated by the same numbers in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a plain view of a mattress tufted in accord with my invention.
Figures 2 and S are enlarged cross-sectional views of the same showing the said tufting operation near completion and completed respectively.
in the illustration of my invention shown in the drawings, 4t designates the covering of the article, in this example a mattress, of which. the covering is usually made of cotton ticking. 5 designates the stufiing of the article which may be of hair or any other suitable elastic material.
In the present performance of my invention, I provide in the covering at at the opposite points of depression, 6, eyelets 7, which I at present prefer to stitch in the covering, and maybe of any desired contour.
Inside each eyelet 7, I stitch or attach to the covering 4:, around or on all sides of the eyelet a flexible diaphragm 8, in this example, circular, which may be of canvas, light leather or other suitable tough flexible fabric or material.
This diaphragm 8, and its separation from the eyelet 7, is greatly exaggerated in the drawing, to reveal the arrangement and op eration, but actually is stitched closely around the eyelet and stays in close relation thereto to close the eyelet opening and prevent the entry of dust, etc, through the eyelet, as well as the escape 0'? ie stu'l'lin After the n'iattress or article is stuffed, a needle carrying the thread or cord 9 is passed from one side through the corresponding eyelet 7, and diaphragm 8, through the stutling 5, through the opposite diaphragm 8 and eyelet 7, and then back through the latter eyelet and diaphragn'i, the stuffing and the former dizu hragm and eyelet as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
The adjacent ends of the thread or cord 9, are then tied together as shown in Figure 2, and concealed below or within the eyelet as shown in Figure 3.
The opposite points of depression are thus easily and effectively drawn together to form the surrounding tufts 10, while owing to the location, fastening and concealment of the ends of the thread beneath the covering 4t the same are effectively protected against abrasion or injury and the tufting of the article is made permanent and slightly.
It is evident that the above specific embodiment of my invention may be greatly varied in detail Without departing from the bound aries of my invention as defined by the follow ng claim.
F or example, instead of the fastening piece here illustrated as a diaphragm, a heavy cord may be fastened across and on both sides of the opposite eyelets and the tving thread or cord fastened thereto.
