2 Claims.
Our invention relates to improvements in padding supports. which are adapted to be disposed upon the upper ends of coiled springs of seats of cars, chairs, lounges or the like, or over the outer ends of the springs of the backs of such articles, to keep padding of the upholstery from getting onto or between the springs.
Our improvement is of the general character of the padding support described and shown in our application for padding supports, filed December i5, 19%, having Serial Number 369,960, and it is of the type in which a longitudinal row of spaced apart transverse members, as wires, have holding engagement with longitudinal members disposed in the same plane, and in some of the forms shown having an intermediate longitudinal member through which the transverse members extend.
One of the objects of our invention is the provision of longitudinally elastic longitudinal members having holding engagement with the transverse members, whereby the padding support can be stretched to different desired lengths beyond its normal length, to adapt it to diiierent dimensions of seats or backs in one direction,
or to dispose the transverse members at different distances apart.
Another object of our invention is the provision of a novel padding support of the kind described, which is simple, cheap to make, which is strong, durable and not likely to get out of section and disposed edge up intermediate of the two outer longitudinal members.
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of another form of our invention, corresponding to that of Fig. 1, ex-
cepting that the intermediate longitudinal mem- I her is disposed fiatwise and the transverse members are woven therethro-ugh.
Fig. 4, is a section on the line 4--4 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a plan view of another form of our invention, in which two longitudinal parallel elastic outer members respectively extend through two longitudinal rows of eyes provided at the ends of a longitudinal row of spaced apart transverse members having a longitudinal row of intermediate eyes through which extends an in termediate longitudinal elastic member.
Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5.
Fig. '7 is a plan View of another form of our invention, which comprises two parallel longitudinal helical springs which extend respectively through two rows of end eyes of a longitudinal row of spaced apart transverse members.
Fig. 8 is an end view of what is shown in Fig. '7.
Fig. 9 is a plan view of another form of our invention corresponding to. that shown in Fig. l, excepting that two cylindrical elastic longitudinal members, spaced from the two outer longitudinal members and from each other, have extending through them the transverse members.
Fig. 10 is an end view of what is shown in Fig. 9.
Similar characters of reference designate similar parts in the difierent views.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, i designates each of two parallel longitudinal elastic members disposed in the same plane, and comprising suitable material, such as strand-like elastic rubber, cylindrical in cross section;
2 designates each of a longitudinal row of spaced apart transverse members, such as pliable or resilient wires, each having two end eyes 3, through which the longitudinal members I extend respectively, and have non-slip engagement therewith.
4 designates a member intermediate of the members I and through which the transverse members 2 extend, said intermediate member being, preferably, a longitudinally elastic flat strip of rubber, disposed edge up, as shown.
The padding support'shown in Fig. 1 can be stretched to difierent desired lengths, within the range of its elasticity, to adapt it to different length of seats or backs, or to dispose the transverse members 2 at difierent distances apart above the normal.
When desired, the intermediate member 4 may be omitted, in which case, the eyes 3 may be crimped to have non-slip engagement with the members i, or, if desired, the eyes 3 may be of such diameter as to permit them to have sliding adjustment on the members I to different distances apart. In such case, the eyes 3 will have holding, but not non-slip engagement with the members I.
The padding support may be anchored in its scribed with reference to the form shown in Fig. 1.
In the form shown in Figs. 5 and 6, there are two outer longitudinal elastic members I extending through two longitudinal rows of eyes 3, as
in Fig. 1, at the ends of a longitudinal row of spaced apart transverse members 2, having respectively a longitudinal row of partly closed eyes 3a through which extends an intermediate longitudinal elastic member 4b. The transverse members 2 are pliable wires, preferably resilient, and the eyes 302 and 3 may have simply holding engagement with the longitudinal members I and 4b, or they may be crimped to indent and have pinching nonslip engagement with the longitudinal members 3 and 3a, asdesired."
The mode'f of operation is substantially the same as with the form shown in Fig. 1, and the padding support formed thereby, may be disposed against the spring unit with which it is to be used, and fastened in operative position in many ways, as may be desirable in the particular In the form shown in Figs. 7 and 8, there are two longitudinal elastic members comprising two helical springs la which respectively extend through two rows of eyes 3 of transverse members 2, preferably resilient wires, which eyes 3 may be made to have either slipping .or non-slip holding engagement with the helical springs l2, as may be desired, For increasing the length of the padding support, the helical springs la will stretch within certaindistances without becoming set. The mode of operation is the same as has been described with reference to the form shown in Fig. 1.
In the form shownin Figs. 9 and 10, the construction corresponds to that of the form shown in Fig 1, excepting that two spaced apart intermediate elastic longitudinal members 40 of cylindrical form, as shown, are substituted, spaced apart from each other and from the members I, for the member 4, and they are, .preferably, of elastic rubber. The operation corresponds to that of the other forms shown.
In the different forms shown, the transverse members 2 are separate and parallel with each other and are independently attached to the iongitudinally elastic members, as I, la. However, if desired for certain conditions, they may be at angles to each other, to suit a certain arrangement of springs with which they are to be used.
The lengths, of the structures of the difierent forms, may be as long as is desired, and the structures severed transversely of the elastic members to make desired lengths of padding supports.
The number of transverse members 2, and the distances they are spaced apart, may be as the particular case requires, what is shown in the drawing is merely exemplary.
In each form of our invention, the ends of the transverse wire members 2 terminate at the two outermost longitudinal elastic members which respectively form two opposite edges of the padding support. By means of this construction,
the'elastic members and the transverse wires are 'coiled springs upon which they are to be supported.
Other modifications of our invention, within thes'cope of the appended claims, may be made "without departing from the spirit of our invention.
What we claim is:
In a padding support of the kind described, three longitudinal spaced apart elastic rubber 'members the intermediate one of which has a longitudinal row of spaced apart perforations, and transverse members each having non-slip holding engagement with the two outer ones of saidlongitudinal members, and respectively extending through and snugly fitted in said perforations and disposed for their full lengths flatwise in the same plane with said three longitudinal members.
