To aZ whont it may concern Be it known that we, AUGUsTUs T. KNOB- ZER and-SIMON PETER DANNER, citizens of the UnitedStatesre'siding at Middletown, in the county of Middlesex and State of Connecti Sp Edge-Supporting. Hook, of which the following is a specification. 1 I

This invention relates generally-to spring bottoms'for furniture and the like, and especially to means for fastening the springs relative to each other and to the sides of the frame.

The object of the invention is to rovide T5 an improved fastening wherein a fold of wire is "wound'about thepart to be fastened and the loop of the fold' passed between the side .A further object of the invention is to-pro eral ipftiings and embodying our improved 103p j I further object of the invention'is to pro I --vide.a fastening for-securing an edge bar to V the-outer edge of the topwhirl of the outer row of springs and embodying our improved further object of the invention is to provide a pivoted fastening for securin the outer row: of springs to the edgeof the rame and embodying; our improved loop fold.

With these and other objects 1n view the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, and shown in the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan view of a spring-bottom embodying the invention.

Flg. .2 is a vertical sectional view of a single spring with the edge-s11 porting hook in position. Fig. 3 is adetal view of the spacing Like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views. l

The basic feature of the inventionisanintegral fastening composed of wire 'folded upon itself to form the loop 1. The loop 1 is Specification of Letters Patent.

yvound' about the part to be fastened, as at '2, with the loop passed between the side wires and outstanding substantiallyupon the side opposite.

-The invention is preferably applied by twisting orwinding the loop 1 about a coil 3 of a spring adjacent the edge of the frame 4,

to which the s rings areisecured. The 'single ends 5 are ent at an angle at 6, forming alined pintles 7, secured to the edge of the frame 4, as by the staples 8.

Another application of the basic element is in 'a fastening 9 with the loop fold wound about the. outer side of the upper whirl of the outer rowof springs ,10 and the edge rod 11, securin the spring and rod together. The free'en s 12 are then Wound, as at 13, about the side of the whirl oppositethe edge rod.

' Anotherfapplication is in a fastening for spacvide a fastening for properly spacing the se'v- I is folded first at the middle substantially at right angles, as at 1'4, and the single ends ing the several springs and wherein the wire again folded upon themselves and fastened,

as at 15. The middle fold of one fastening is then wound about. the middle fold of the other, as-at 16, forming a jointed fastening The four loops are then wound about the top whirl, as shown at 17, thus holding the several springs at the desired spacings relative to each other.

' By the several applications, as above noted,

a complete spring-bottom is produced, as

shown in'Fig. 1, from avie'w of which andthe foreoin description its 'use and operation will ec? arly and fully understood. It will be understood, further, that the s ring-bottomassembled as above is-applica le to any form of bed, chair, car, or wagon-seat or to other uses when spring-bottoms are or may be used.

Having thus described the invention, What is claimed is 1. In a device of the class described a plurality of coil-springs with their bases secured in a common plane, an edge bar connecting the center sides of the 'top whirls of the outer row of springs, a fastening composed of wire folded upon itself and with the loop of the fold wound about the edge bar and the spring I in a common plane, a pair of coacting fastenings to hold the several springs properly spaced relative to each other and each composed of a wire folded at the middle and each end again folded upon itself and with the folds wound about the coils of the springs and passing between the side wires and the middle fold of fastening wound about the middle fold of the other.

3. A device of the class described, comprising a frame, a plurality of coil-springs, with their bases secured to the frame, an edge bar connecting the outer sides of the top whirl of the outer row of springs, a fastening composed of wire folded upon itself and with the loop of the fold wound about the edge bar and the spring and passing between the side wires and the single ends of the fastening wound about the spring-coil opposite the edge bar, and a fastening composed of wire folded upon itself and with the loop of the fold wound about a coil of the outer spring below the bar and passing between the side wires and with the single ends pivotally secured to the frame.

4. A device of the class described, comprising a frame, a plurality of coil-springs with their bases secured to the frame, an edge bar connecting the outer sides of the top whirls of the outer row of springs, a fastening composed of wire folded upon itself and with the loop of the fold wound about the edge bar and the spring and passing between the side wires and the single ends of the fastening wound about the spring-coil opposite the edge bar, and a pair of coacting fastenings to ,hold the several springs properly spaced and each composed of a wire folded at the middle and each end again folded upon itself and with the folds wound about the coils of the springs and passing between the side wires and the middle fold of one fastening wound about the middle fold of the other.

5. A device of the class described, comprising a frame, a plurality of coil-springs with their bases secured to the frame, a pair of coacting fastenings to hold the several springs pro erly spaced and each composed of a wire fol ed at the middle and each end again folded upon itself and with the folds wound about the coils of the springs and passing between the side wires and the middle fold of one fastening wound about the middle fold of the other, and a fastening composed of wire folded upon itself and with the loop of the fold wound about a coil of the outer spring below the top whirl and passing between the side wires and with the single ends pivotally secured to the frame.

6. A device of the class described, comprising a frame, a plurality of coil-springs with their bases secured to the frame, a pair of coacting fastenings to hold the several springs properly spaced and each composed of a wire folded at the middle and each end again folded upon itself and with the folds wound about the coils of the springs and passing between the side wires and the middle fold of one fastening wound about the middle fold of the other, an edge bar connecting the outer sides of the top whirls of the outer row of springs, a fastening composed of wire folded upon itself and with the loop of the fold wound about the edge bar and the spring and passing between the side wires and the single ends of the fastening wound about the springcoil opposite the edge bar, and a fastening composed of wire folded upon itself and with the loop of the fold wound about a coil of the outer spring below the bar and passing between the side wires and with the single ends pivotally secured to the frame.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we have hereto affixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
