FURNITURE: COVER FASTENING DEVICE Filed April 25; 1955 g y 618w W SEAL use,
INVENTOR,
BY 4 flrrmA/y United States Patent 2,826,245 eovnr nastiness DEVICE itna vv.-sa1aa;re;iisgs; ears Kpplie'atioiiApi'iIZ'S, 1955, steel Ni). 5031522 6. Claims. (Cl. 155 -180) This invention relates to metal furniture having tubular framing and has particular reference to means for securing fabric covers in position on the framing thereof.
It is the object of the present invention to provide simple and efiicient means for fastening such covers in position. A further object is to provide a device which may readily be applied to the parts to be assembled by any one in possession of a common pair of pliers. Another object is to provide a device which, when applied to the parts to be assembled and pressed in position by the pliers, will draw the cover tightly in position on the framing.
The objects of the invention and the advantageous features thereof will be apparent from the following detailed description and by referring to the accompanying drawing in which a preferred form of the invention is illustrated. In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary view showing a corner of a tubular metal furniture frame to which a fabric cover is secured in accordance with the principle of the invention;
Figs. 2, 3 and 4 illustrate the manner in which the cover is progressively secured in position on the framing; and
Fig. 5 shows a corner of the cover as it appears before it is secured in position on the framing.
The device of the invention by means of which a fabric cover 1 may be secured in position on a tubular frame takes the form of a piece of wire which is bent into the shape of a staple 2 the legs of which are inwardly directed, one leg 3 of which is longer than the other leg 4 thereof all substantially as indicated in Fig. 2 of the drawings. Through the wall of the tubular frame member 5 are cut passages 6, 7 into which the staple is seated to secure the cover 1 in position on the member in the following manner. The cover is made with hems 9, 10 along the edges thereof and rods 11, 12 are seated in the hem portions thereof. In Fig. 1, a short hem 9 is shown at the top of the frame and the side hem 10 may extend the entire length of the frame, but this is merely illustrative of one type of cover. Two sets of passages 6, 7 are provided at the top of the frame to receive a pair of staples 2 but where a longer hem is provided additional passages must, of course, be provided.
The hemmed edge of the cover is first folded over the frame member, substantially as indicated in Fig. 2, whereupon the pointed end of the longer staple leg 3 is manually pushed into the passage 7 of the member. The staple is thereupon swung on the reinforced hem into the position of Fig. 3 to cause the pointed end of the shorter leg 4 to enter the passage 6, during which movement it is found that the hemmed edge of the cover is drawn in the direction of the arrow of Fig. 3 tightly to stretch the cover across the frame. It now becomes necessary to lock the staple in position in the frame member and this may readily be done by applying a pair of pliers to the staple, substantially as illustrated in Fig. 4

I lt'i s 'now'whyon'e' leg of thestaple is longer than the other. This'is necessary in ord'ef to be able to swing the staple oh the reinforcedihem ofth'e cover to cause the pointed end 4 to' enter the passage 6' of the frame member? Anotheiiriiportant'featufe' is that the two passtages are not diame'nieanyg aliried but the assa e 7 is. advertised near 30" 0" 40 foviiard' the passage 6, sub stantially as indicated in Fig. 4. I have found these proportions and arrangements entirely dependable but modifications thereof may, of course, be embodied if' found advantageous in some cases.
It is to be understood that the invention is susceptible to modifications in order to adapt the device to different conditions and uses and that right is reserved to embody such modifications within the scope of the claims hereto appended.
