TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONGERN z Beit known that I, RICHARD H. GUTTER, of Cleveland, county of Cuyehogo, in the State of Ohio, have invented-:3. new und improved E,Spring-Bed Bottom; and-LI do hereby declare that the following is u full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the ce'companying drawings, and' 'to the letters of reference .l

marked thereon.

Figure l is e perspective view.

Figure 2 is a. vertical cross-section.

Figure' is n plan showing the manner of weaving the webbing into the spring.

The nature of this invention consists in securing the springs by webbing interwoven into the ends of the springs insuch a. 'manner that they may be used on both sides, thus presenting u springy surface for either o. bed bottom or lounge-scot upon either side, the ends of' the wire of which the Springs are made being turned over 1nd looked so :is to form n complete ringy into which the webbingqis woven. The webbing may be stretched perfectly straight on one side and presento. level surface, or the webbing muy be evenly stretched on both sides. By thus interweoving webbing into the springs the pressure is alike upon `muy part between as upon the springs, und there is no punching through or uneven pressure of the springs. They do notl weer out nor become displaced as soon, und in cese a. spring is broken :mother may be easily replaced.

That others muy fully understand nay-improvement, -I will describe its construction.

lA represents a. freine of suitable size for either a. bed-bottom or lounge-seat. B B are strips of webbing nttached'ztt both ends to the frameAby tacks or otherwise.' C C are also strips of webbing7 which pass through the rings of the springs and are interwoven with the cross-strips B, thus securing the springs in position without other assistonce.' Both endsoof the springs D are for-med into rings by turning over the end of the wireand locking in the mann-er seen :it d, tig. 3. This prevents their slipping or becoming displaced on the webbing. In abcd-bottom the springs may be set on slats of woedend have twine interwoven through the'rings on the slats to prevent any noise when the springs are compressed. This may be done where only one side of the springs is designed to be used.

A spring-bed bottom or lounge-seeconstructed in the ina-nner herein described possesses several advantages over the ol'd, which are, first, it makes a. convenient bed-botro1n which takes the place of a. mattress; second, it also makes a. convenient lounge-seat; and, third, by its peculiar construction the springs muy be used on either side, es in the bed-lounge the folding seat is required to be used on both sides7 thus rendering but one set of springs necessary. The interwe'aving of the webbing in the manner described. makes un equal bearing on the springs wherever .the pressure happens to be.

I do not claim the springs as new, nor the use of webbing)` stretched across fra-me, but I claim the abovedescribed bed-bottom asa new article of manufacture. v

R. H. CUTTER.
