Definitions
- This invention relates generally to bedding, and more particularly, to a formed wire bedding foundation.
- Bedding foundations or so-called box spring assemblies generally comprise spaced border wires between which are disposed coil or bent wire spring modules. As thus manufactured, these box spring assemblies are bulky for shipping to a manufacturer where padding and covering are applied thereto. In order to reduce shipping space requirements, it is customary to compress the assemblies to reduce their individual thicknesses and, when compressed, to tie them in their compressed state. This involves providing presses and ties which are expensive, and the extra operations of pressing and tying the assemblies. At the delivery end, the manufacturer must cut and discard the ties before applying the covering. These additional material and handling costs increase the end cost of box spring assemblies.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,064 there is disclosed a nestably stackable bedding foundation assembly which overcomes the manufacturing and shipping problems characteristic of the more traditional coil or modular spring bedding foundations.
- the bedding foundation assembly of U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,064 comprises a rectangular border wire and transversely spaced, parallel and longitudinally extending support wires parallel to the border wire sides and having ends connected to the border wire. These support wires are generally corrugatedly formed along their lengths, having peaks and valleys with the peaks being generally co-planar with the plane defined by the border wire and the valleys being displaced beneath and intermediate of the peaks.
- the primary advantage of the bedding foundation assembly of U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,064 is that it enables relatively inexpensive bedding foundation wire cores to be tightly compacted and shipped in a minimum of space to an assembly destination, thereby reducing the ultimate cost of the core to the assembler.
- the bedding foundation of U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,064 also has the advantage that it may be rapidly loaded by a manufacturer for transportation to the destination of assembly without the need for compressing and tying the assemblies.
- the present invention is directed to a nestably stackable wire core bedding foundation which has all of the advantages of the bedding foundation of the '064 patent, but which is of greater compressive support to the complete foundation unit than is characteristic of the wire core bedding foundation of U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,064.
- the foundation comprises a rectangular border wire and lengthwise or transversely extending parallel support wires connected at opposite ends to opposite ends or opposite sides of the border wire.
- these support wires are generally corrugatedly formed along their lengths, having peaks and valleys with the peaks being generally co-planar and in the plane of the border wire and the valleys being displaced beneath and intermediate of the peaks.
- the valleys of the support wires of the present invention have an inverted U-shaped channel formed therein, which channel is sized and shaped to wrap around the top and sides of slats of a foundation base to which the valleys of the support wire are attached.
- the resulting foundation is given additional compressive strength which has not been characteristic of prior art wire core bedding foundations.
- the valleys of the support wires of the wire core assembly are stapled to the top surface of the slats.
- the sides of the channels formed in the valleys of the support wires have barbs formed on the inside surface of the wire such that the complete wire grid may be pressed onto wooden slats of the base frame to secure the grid to the base frame without the need for any staples to make that securement.
- the support wires are welded to the connector wires in pairs with the valleys of the support wires of a pair sloping downwardly and inwardly toward one another at an included angle of approximately 35° so as to optimize the ease of stacking of multiple wire cores for purposes of storing and shipping stacks of nestably stacked wire core assemblies.
- the primary advantage of the invention of this application is that it increases the compressed load strength of a bedding foundation incorporating this wire core assembly over prior art nestably stackable wire core bedding foundations by transferring compressive forces on the wire core from the wire core assembly to the underlying slats of the foundation base.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates generally to bedding, and more particularly, to a formed wire bedding foundation.
- Bedding foundations or so-called box spring assemblies generally comprise spaced border wires between which are disposed coil or bent wire spring modules. As thus manufactured, these box spring assemblies are bulky for shipping to a manufacturer where padding and covering are applied thereto. In order to reduce shipping space requirements, it is customary to compress the assemblies to reduce their individual thicknesses and, when compressed, to tie them in their compressed state. This involves providing presses and ties which are expensive, and the extra operations of pressing and tying the assemblies. At the delivery end, the manufacturer must cut and discard the ties before applying the covering. These additional material and handling costs increase the end cost of box spring assemblies.
- In U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,064, there is disclosed a nestably stackable bedding foundation assembly which overcomes the manufacturing and shipping problems characteristic of the more traditional coil or modular spring bedding foundations. The bedding foundation assembly of U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,064 comprises a rectangular border wire and transversely spaced, parallel and longitudinally extending support wires parallel to the border wire sides and having ends connected to the border wire. These support wires are generally corrugatedly formed along their lengths, having peaks and valleys with the peaks being generally co-planar with the plane defined by the border wire and the valleys being displaced beneath and intermediate of the peaks. Longitudinally spaced, parallel and transversely extending upper connector wires, parallel to the border wire ends, are connected along their lengths to the peaks of the support wires. Longitudinally spaced, parallel and transversely extending lower connector wires, parallel to the border wire ends, are connected to the valleys of the support wires. The longitudinal voids between the peaks of the support wires are of a greater dimension than the valleys of the support wires. This configuration enables one nestably stackable bedding foundation assembly to be nestedly stacked atop a second assembly since the support wire valleys of the first assembly may enter into the voids between the peaks of the support wires of the second assembly. Such a nestedly stacked arrangement results in a total height dimension which is less than the sum of the individual assembly height dimensions.
- The primary advantage of the bedding foundation assembly of U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,064 is that it enables relatively inexpensive bedding foundation wire cores to be tightly compacted and shipped in a minimum of space to an assembly destination, thereby reducing the ultimate cost of the core to the assembler. The bedding foundation of U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,064 also has the advantage that it may be rapidly loaded by a manufacturer for transportation to the destination of assembly without the need for compressing and tying the assemblies.
- The present invention is directed to a nestably stackable wire core bedding foundation which has all of the advantages of the bedding foundation of the '064 patent, but which is of greater compressive support to the complete foundation unit than is characteristic of the wire core bedding foundation of U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,064. In the present invention, as in the foundation disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,064, the foundation comprises a rectangular border wire and lengthwise or transversely extending parallel support wires connected at opposite ends to opposite ends or opposite sides of the border wire. And, as in the '064 patent, these support wires are generally corrugatedly formed along their lengths, having peaks and valleys with the peaks being generally co-planar and in the plane of the border wire and the valleys being displaced beneath and intermediate of the peaks. And, also as in the '064 patent, there are multiple, parallel connector wires extending normal to the support wires in the plane of the border wire, which connection wires are fixedly attached at their opposite ends to the border wire and are attached intermediate of their ends to the peaks of the support wires. But unlike the support wires of the '064 patent, the valleys of the support wires of the present invention have an inverted U-shaped channel formed therein, which channel is sized and shaped to wrap around the top and sides of slats of a foundation base to which the valleys of the support wire are attached. Thereby, the resulting foundation is given additional compressive strength which has not been characteristic of prior art wire core bedding foundations.
- In one embodiment of the present invention, the valleys of the support wires of the wire core assembly are stapled to the top surface of the slats. In another embodiment of the present invention, the sides of the channels formed in the valleys of the support wires have barbs formed on the inside surface of the wire such that the complete wire grid may be pressed onto wooden slats of the base frame to secure the grid to the base frame without the need for any staples to make that securement.
- In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the support wires are welded to the connector wires in pairs with the valleys of the support wires of a pair sloping downwardly and inwardly toward one another at an included angle of approximately 35° so as to optimize the ease of stacking of multiple wire cores for purposes of storing and shipping stacks of nestably stacked wire core assemblies.
- The primary advantage of the invention of this application is that it increases the compressed load strength of a bedding foundation incorporating this wire core assembly over prior art nestably stackable wire core bedding foundations by transferring compressive forces on the wire core from the wire core assembly to the underlying slats of the foundation base.
- These and other advantages of the present invention will more readily become apparent from the description of the drawings herein, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, partially broken away, of a bedding foundation assembly embodying the invention of this application; -
FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a portion of the bedding foundation ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a view taken along line 3-3 ofFIG. 1 , but with the covering materials removed for purposes of illustrating the corrugatedly formed support wires; -
FIG. 4 is a view taken along line 4-4 ofFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 5 is a view likeFIG. 4 , but illustrating two unmounted wire core assemblies stacked and nested one within the other for shipment; -
FIG. 6 is a view of a portion of a support wire mounted upon a slat of a base frame wherein the slat is nailed on edge to the base frame of a bedding foundation assembly; and -
FIG. 7 is a view similar toFIG. 6 , but of another embodiment of the support wire. - Referring first to
FIG. 1 , a bedding foundation 1 is illustrated. The foundation 1 has a rectangularwooden base frame 2 on which are attached transversewooden slats 3. Atop thesetransverse slats 3 is the nestably stackable assembly orwire core 4. A foam pad 5 overlies the nestablystackable assembly 4, and a fabric covering 6 overlies the foam pad 5 and surrounds the nestablystackable assembly 4 and thebase frame 2. - Describing the nestably
stackable assembly 4 now in more detail, it comprises a rectangularsteel border wire 10 having twoparallel sides parallel ends parallel sides parallel ends steel support wires 13 are parallel to theborder wire sides ends 14 which are crimped around theends border wire 10. Thesesupport wires 13 are formed so as to be generally corrugatedly shaped along their lengths, havingpeaks 15 and valleys 16 (seeFIG. 3 ). Thesepeaks 15 are generally co-planar with the plane defined by theborder wire 10, with thevalleys 16 being vertically spaced beneath and intermediate of theflattened peaks 15. - Longitudinally spaced, parallel and transversely extending steel
upper connector wires 19 extend parallel to theborder wire ends ends 20 which are crimped around theborder wire sides upper connector wires 19 are welded intermediate of their ends along theirlengths 21 to theflattened peaks 15 of thesupport wires 13. - The
valleys 16 of eachsupport wire 13 have an inverted U-shapedchannel 17 formed therein. Eachchannel 17 has a flatupper section 18 from whichside sections 19 extend downwardly. Theseside sections 19 are connected to thelower ends 21 of theriser sections 22 of thesupport wires 13. - With reference now to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , it will be seen that each channel-shaped section 17 of eachsupport wire 13 fits over and wraps around the top surface and sides of aslat 3 of thebase frame 2. In the embodiment of the invention illustrated inFIGS. 1-4 and 6, the topupper section 18 of eachchannel 17 of a support wire is secured by staples 23 to the top surface of a slat. But the channels of thesupport wires 13 could be connected to the slats by other connectors as, for example, as illustrated inFIG. 7 , bybarbs 24 formed on the inside edge of the downwardly extendingsections 19 of thechannels 17 formed in thevalleys 16 of thesupport wires 13. In the event that barbs formed in thechannels 17 of the support wires are used to connect thewire core 4 to thebase frame 2, the completely assembled core may be simply pressed downwardly onto thebase frame 2 to secure the assembled wire core to the base frame with thebarbs 12 locked into the sides of theslats 3. - With particular reference now to
FIGS. 2 and 4 , it will be seen that thesupport wires 13 are arranged in pairs with each pair havingriser sections 22 extending downwardly and inwardly from thetop peak sections 15. In one embodiment of the invention, these pairs of support wires define an included angle of approximately 35° therebetween. As illustrated inFIG. 5 , this included angle between the pairs ofsupport wires 13 facilitates nestable stacking of the assembled wire cores for shipment or storage before these assembledwire cores 4 are secured to base frames. - With reference to
FIGS. 6 and 7 , theslats 3 of thebase frame 2 are there illustrated as being secured on edge as, for example, by nails (not shown) to theside boards 26 of thebase frame 2. This differs from the slat ofFIGS. 1-4 wherein the slats are illustrated as lying flat on the side boards. The advantage of this on-edge securement of the slats to the side boards is that it increases the height of the resulting foundation without any appreciable increase in cost of materials or assembly. - The metal core portion of a bedding foundation is generally manufactured by a supplier, who then ships it to an assembler. The assembler adds to the metal core a
wooden base 2,slats 3, padding 5 and upholstery 6 to make a completed product. - With reference to
FIG. 5 , it will be seen that a first stackable assembly orcore 4 may be placed upon a surface with thevalleys 16 of thesupport wires 13 oriented downwardly and the flattenedpeaks 15 of thesupport wires 13 oriented upwardly. Next, a second likeassembly 4 may be placed atop thefirst assembly 4, with itssupport wire valleys 16 and flattenedsupport wire peaks 15 likewise oriented downwardly and upwardly, respectively. Thevalleys 16 of thesecond assembly 4 are thereby allowed to enter into the voids between the flattenedpeaks 15 of thefirst assembly 4. Thesecond assembly 4 nestles downwardly within thefirst assembly 4 until the outside dimension of thevalleys 16 of thesecond assembly 4 is equal to the inside dimension of thevalleys 16 of thefirst assembly 4. At this point, thesecond assembly 4 comes to rest within thefirst assembly 4, with the overall height of the nested assemblies being substantially less than the sum of the individual heights of the assemblies. Of course, any number of assemblies may be nested and stacked together for storage or shipment. - The primary advantage of the invention of this application is that it facilitates storage and shipment of the nestably stackable
wire core assemblies 4 and the resulting improved compressive strength of the foundation when the wire core is assembled onto a base frame. This improved compressive strength derives from any load or force placed atop the wire core being transferred by the wire core to the slats of the base frame about which the valleys of the support wires of the core are wrapped. - While we have described several embodiments of our invention, those persons skilled in the art will readily recognize modifications and changes which may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Accordingly, we intend for our invention to be limited only by the following
