Definitions
- a spring unit for an article of furniture comprising a plurality of interconnected furniture springs having their spring axes parallel, the perimeter of the unit at opposite ends of the springs being defined by strips adapted to accept and locate the end coils of said springs.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of part of a spring unit in accordance with the invention
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of securing strip for uniting the spring ends at the perimeter of the unit;
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of securing strip and also illustrates the clamping clip
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of securing strip.
- a spring unit 1, for example for a seat is of substantially rectangular box shape and comprises four parallel rows each consisting of five furniture springs 2 (only three are shown in FIG. 1 for the sake of simplicity).
- the springs 2 are disposed vertically and adjoining springs in each row are interconnected in conventional fashion at their upper and lower ends by means of four upper and four lower coiled wires (not shown) crossing the rows.
- the perimeter of the unit at opposite ends of the springs is defined by strips 3 and there are provided eight such strips to accept and locate the end coils of the boundary springs along the eight edges of the box-shaped unit, each such strip being made of synthetic plastics material extruded in U, V, L, or other section which permits said end coils to be received between two webs of the strip.
- the coils may be held in position along the strips by various means.
- FIG. 2 a first embodiment of the invention (FIG. 2) the coil-receiving webs 3a, 3b of the strips 3 are welded together (as at 4) at spaced locations therealong to prevent disengagement of the strips 3 f th s 2.
- the strips 3 are secured to the coils by metal clips 5 and, in a third embodiment of the invention (FIG. 4) securement is by 'means of wire 6 coiled in a helix around the full length of each strip 3 after the coils have been located therein.
- the strips are so formed that the webs thereof exert a clamping effect on the coils received therebetween and no additional securing means are required.
- a spring unit for use in an article of furniture comprising an array of helical springs disposed on spaced, vertical, parallel axes, the upper and lower helices of said springs normally being disposed in the same upper and lower plane, the improvement consisting of elongated channel elements having opposed upper and lower integral webs normally urged together, said channel element webs embracingly enagaging in tangential relation adjacent upper and lower helices whereby said springs are retained in operative relation as a unit.
