The present invention relates to improvements in a mattress and method of making same It consists of the combinations, constructions and arrangements of parts, as hereinafter described andclaimedl An'object of my invention is' to provideamattress and method of making same in whichthe outer ticking is tuftless and loops of waste material are arranged on the interior of the mattress to serve as anchorages for the tufting cords. In themaking of tuftless mattresses it has been the practice to provide a complete inner ticking and tuft this. The outer tickingis then slipped over the inner one. In cutting the ticking material to enclose the mattress, strips arecut off which are of no further use. I now make" use of these waste stripsandformthem into loops of predetermined lengths. An inner casing is provided over the spring assembly and an inner layer of felt or stuffing is applied thereover. I thenslip the'preformed loops over the inner layer of felt .or other material that is placed adjacent to the Spring construction. Button tufting, or other type of tufting may be used for securing the strips in place, the tufting in addition compressing the spring structure to the desired degree to give the mattress the necessary firmness. The outer casing or ticking may be made of waterproof material and such a mattress would be of ideal construction for use in baby cribs.
Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specification, and the novel features of the device will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the mattress, portions being broken away to illustrate the novel mattress structure;
Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional view through a portion of the mattress;
Figure 3 is a horizontal section taken along the line III-III of Figure 2; and
Figure 4 is a perspective view of one of the loops.
While I have shown only the preferred form of my invention, it should be understood that various changes or modifications may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
In carrying out my invention, I make use of a mattress spring construction indicated generally at A. This spring construction can have any number of coil springs I mounted thereon. Figlur nd? Show. an; e i o burlap-6r the use enclosing the spring assembly. A layer of felt B is placed around the inner casing and then I provide loops C of a predetermined length, see' Figure 4, made from waste ticking or other suitable material and place these loops over the mattress spring construction and over the felt layer B. The casing-A prevents the felt B' from droppinginto the spring assembly, The'length's of the'loops C are predetermined so that" the loops will conform to the size of the mattress. In Figure 4]? show the ends 2 and 3' of the loops C secured together by stitching 4 or other suitable te in m a In' Figure 3' I show the mattresspr'ovided with three' loops, although I do not wish to be confinedt'o any particular number. After the loops are" slipped over the springs and the felt layers 3'; I use staples 5 for anchoring the loops to the mattress spring construction These staples are clearly shown in Figure 2" and they extend through the loops 0 and-in back of the wires fi that form the perimeter of the mattress spring construction.
Although I show the loops C extending along the parallel rows of springs I in Figure 3, it is obvious that the loops can be arranged at other positions on the mattress if desired. Button tufting, indicated generally at D, is now used for securing the loops C to the mattress spring construction and to compress the springs i to the desired extent. In Figures 2 and 3 I show the button tufting cords 1 extending through the centers of the coil springs I, although this is not necessary. It will be seen that the button tufting holds the loops against movement with respect to the felt layers B and therefore the felt layers are also held in position and cannot move with respect to the mattress spring construction A. The result is the same as if a complete inner ticking covered the felt B and the spring assembly.
An outer layer of felt, indicated at E, is placed over the loops C and over the inner layer B and a tuftless outer ticking F encloses the entire mattress. If desired, the outer ticking may be of Waterproof material and such a mattress is especially adapted for baby cribs. It would not be necessary to cover a baby crib mattress with a rubber sheeting where the outer ticking itself is made waterproof, and there are no tufts extending through this ticking.
It will be seen that I am able to use waste strips of material to form the loops and these will function in the same manner as a complete inner ticking. The loops can be made of any material '3 desired, such as sheeting, duck, burlap Strips, etc. The outer layer of felt E will adhere to the inner layer at places disposed between the loops C and the outer layer will be prevented from moving with respect to the inner layer.
I claim:
1. In a mattress: an inner spring structure having rows of springs; an inner casing entirely enclosing the spring structure; this casing including upper and lower panels overlying and underlying said structure, respectively; inner layers of paddin material covering the exterior surfaces of these panels; a plurality of pre-dimensioned endless looped strips entirely encircling the spring structure outwardly of said layers of padding material, and clamping the latter to said panels; these looped strips being spaced from one another, and including top and bottom reaches paralleling the rows of springs; each strip including end portions interconnecting said reaches at opposing ends of said spring structure; and tufting means interconnecting the top and bottom reaches of each looped strip, and placing the springs under compression; said tufting means passing through the upper and lower panels of th inner casing, and securing both the layers of inner padding material and said reaches of the strips to the inner casing.
2. In a mattress: an inner spring structure having rows of springs; an inner casing entirely enclosing the spring structure; this casing including upper and lower panels overlying and underlying said structure, respectively; inner layers of padding material covering the exterior surfaces of these panels; a plurality of pre-dimensioned endless looped strips entirely encircling the spring structure outwardly of said layers of padding material, and clamping the latter to said panels; these looped strips being spaced from one another, and including top and bottom reaches paralleling the rows of springs; each strip including end portions interconnecting said reaches at opposing ends of said spring structure; tufting means interconnecting the top and bottom reaches of each looped strip, and placing the springs under compression; said tufting means passing through the upper and lower panels of the inner casing, and securing both the layers of inner padding material and said reaches of the strips to the inner casing; an outer layer of padding material entirely covering the looped strips, the inner layers of padding and the spring structure; this outer padding material concealing the tufting means from exterior view, and being adhered to the layers of the inner padding material between the looped strips to restrain the outer and inner padding materials from shifting relative to one another; an a tuftless outer casing entirely encasing the outer padding material.
3. In the herein method of forming a mattress, the steps of enclosing an inner spring structure in an inner casing; the latter including upper and lower panels overlying and underlying said structure, respectively; applying inner layers of padding material over the exterior surfaces of these panels; telescoping pre-dimensioned looped strips over the spring structure to entirely encircle the latter outwardly of said padding material, with these strips clamping this material to said panels; and anchoring opposing reaches of each looped strip to each other and to the panels of the inner casing.-
