Description
"D c. 13, 1932. Lows 1,890,689 BED SPRING COVER Filed June 17, 1930 INVENTOR.
ATTORNEY Patented Dec. 13, 1932 PATEN FFICE LUCIENNE. J'. LOUIS, OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA I BED-SPRING oovnn Application filed June 17,
The invention relates to a cover for a bedspring or the like.
An object of the invention is to provide a generally improved cover member for enveloping disposal about a bed-spring of the vertical-coil type.
A more specific object is to provide a generally improved means for securing the cover on a bed-spring.
A further object of the invention is to provide a cover-securing means which is arranged to keep the cover wholly taut on the bed-spring while permitting certain distor- M tions of the spring occasioned during its use. Yet another object is to provide for installing or removing the cover while the spring is supported on a bedstead and entirely from the upper side of the spring whereby to facilitate a removal of the cover for laundering and its replacement on the spring.
The invention possesses other objects and features of advantage, some of which, with the foregoing, will be set forth or be apparent in the following description of a typical embodiment of the invention which is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a cover embodying the invention and mounted on a bedspring, top cover portions being broken away to show the relation of the underneath cover portions and a securing means therefor to the bed-spring.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary right-end view of the installation of Figure 1, a cover portion being broken away whereby the cover is disclosed in partial section.
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary elevation at 3-3 in Figure 1. p Figure 4 is an enlarged perspective view of a spring element of the cover mounting means.
As particularly illustrated, the present invention is applied in association with a cover 5 for enveloping disposal about a bed-spring structure 6 wherein an assembly of vertical coil springs 7 connected by horizontal coil springs 8 provides a usual and relatively thick bed-spring structure. Such a bed-spring structure is particularly difficult to keep clean 1930. Serial No. 461,697.
of dust and lint, and may rust or become corroded to damage a mattress or bedding in contact therewith, hence it is highly desirable that the bed-spring be completely covered.
Since a cover for the purpose need be remov able for the laundering or replacement thereof, the present cover is formed with cooperatlng sections for separate removal or replacement on the spring; as shown, the cover is formed with complementary sections 9 and 10 which are arranged to jointly receive a bedspring and to then be telescopically engaged with an overlap of but a few inches. In this manner, a person may remove or replace a section 9 or 10 while lifting up but one side of the spring, whereby the bed-spring need not be fullylifted or dismounted from the bedstead (not shown).
Each cover sect-1on9 andlO comprises top and bottom walls 11 and 12 connected by a side wall 18 whereby the expanded section spaces are arranged to more or less fittedly receive a little overhalf of the spring structure and the free edge portions of one section receive those of the other. Lines of eyelets lt are provided around both cover sections inwardly of and parallel to said free edges thereof whereby they lie beyond the overlapped edge portions when the sections are mounted on a bed-spring. Tension members 15 are provided for engagement in and between mutually opposite eyelets of the dif ferent sections for urging the said telescopic engagement of the sections while the same engage different portions of a bed-spring. In the present instance the cover is divided longitudinally of the bed-spring whereby the sections thereof enclose different side portions thereof, the bed-spring being raised first at one side and then at the other for receiving the different cover sections, and being chiefly supported on the bedstead (not shown) at all times. In this manner, the mounting and dismounting of the cover is arranged to be effected witha minimum degree of manipulation of the spring.
The tension members 15, it is noted, are desirably arranged to lie fiat along the cover portions thereat when installed in place. For this reason, I prefer to form these memgrommets fixed the cover sections in a well known manner. ,The cover sections would, of course, be washable.
In bed-springs of the present type, the coils 7 thereof are sufficiently spaced to permit an installation of the tension members 15 from between them and to lie along the upper and inner faces of the bottom walls 12 of the cover sections. In this manner, the bed-spring need not be removed or turned over for installing or removing the members 15 at the bottom of the cover. In securing the present cover on a bed-spring, the bottom tension members would, of course, be operably placed first, the mounted sections being slightly spread apart at their tons to providea slit through which a hand may be inserted for effecting the installation. Removal of the tension members would, of course, be effected in the reverse order. The specific mounted positions of the members 15 is particularly brought out in Figures 1 and 3.
It will now be noted that the use of the tension members 15 with the cooperating cover sections 9 and 10 provides for a constantly tensed engagement of the cover over the bed-spring and at the same time permits the normal distortion of the bed-spring when the same is in use. A particular advantage of the present device for effecting a taut fitting of the cover to a. bed-spring resides in the factthat the bottom wall of the cover is ten'si'onally supported against downward sagging thereof below the spring structure. Since the spring portions of the members 15 are planar, their use is not noticeable through a mattress and bedding thereover, and the advantage of the useof a durable metal spring is retained.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the advantages of the construction and method of operation will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which the in vention appertains, and while I have described the principle of operation, together with the device which I now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that the device shown is merely illustrative, and that such changes may be made, when desired, as fall within the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, I
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States the following:
A cover for a bed spring which comprises a pair of fabric box shaped members adapted to be slipped over opposite sides of the spring and overlap each other centrally of the spring to completely enclose the spring, and ,means for securing the edges of said members together above and below the spring, said means being so positioned that they may be fastened and unfastened from above the spring.
In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature.
