To a/ZZ whom tm/wy concern:

Be it known that I, MiLEs JOSEPH Buon- LEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Waterbu [in the county of New Haven and State oi Connecticut,` ave invented a new and useful Couch, of which the `tollowing is a specification. i

This invention relates to couches. The object of the invention is in a novel and practical manner to obviate any tend-- enc on the part of the side edges and footv of t e upholstered portion of a couch-to mash down, whereby the wearing qualities of the article will be measurablv increased and its appearance materially enhanced.

A urther object is to facilitate the attaching of the outer covering to the couch and also the formation oi the tuiting, quilting, or the like.

A still further object is to reinforce the bottom of the couch by the em )loyment ci' spaced connectingstrips, which a so serve to retain the maif ginal cushion 'wl'icn in position.

With these and other objects in view, as Will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction of a couch, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and. in which like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a couch constructed in accordance with. the present invention, exhibiting a portion otthc covering torn away to display the rings and the marginal cushions employed 'or re-` iniorcing the edges and 'toot portion of the couch. Fig', 2 view in vertical longitudin nal section on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a View in vertical transverse section, showing certain parts that are concealed in Figs. 1 and 2.

The frame 1 of the couch. maybe ol any pre-- fcrrcd construction and is provided with the usual legs 2 and head 3. Secured to the up-- por edges of the sides, footbcarrh and head is a wovonewiie bottom 4, such as is generally employed in connection with beildmttonis andiwliich is stayed and :,)i'oventcil trom sagl` ging by coiled springs 5 ci' the usual coustruction, t iat bear at their upper ends agau'ist the under side ci the bottoni and are secured at their lower ends to transverse slats or strips (i.

In order to prevent the side edges and. `ioot Specification o'f Letters Patent.

ci the couclksurface from mashi overand thus becoming distorted and unsigtly, there is em loyed a marginal cushion 7, whichsurroun s the two edges and foot of the couchcnt ich-iramez This cushion is composedof a strip of `fabric, preferably of canvas, having ga stutiing or filling 8, oi hair, excclsior, vor

other material suited to the purpose, and is held combined with the bottom along the edges thereof by 4two strips of metal 9 and iti, through which extend rivets 11 and 12, the rivets 11 bein passed only through the bottoni, while the rivets 11 an 12 are passed through the strips and tlirou h the outturncd edges 13 ci the cushion, an thus secure the latter to the bottom. The metallic stri s will generally extend from the tootboard of t e couchdrame to the head and may he omitted at the foot of the bottom; as the tendency for '-lthe cover to mash over at its point is but slight; but,it preferred, they may be used at will be `found of advantage, and as this will be readily understood detailed illustration thereof is omitted. The fabric of the cushion is continued down along the outer surface of the sides and tootboard', as at 14, and is secured in position by tacks or nails l5. When the cushion has thus been secured, the mattress 16 is positioned upon the bottom and over the cushion, the mattress being otl sack torni and filled with any suitable stu'ling 17 and is ,combined with the sides and footboard by tachs or nails 18, `W hen the matn trees has been assembled with the bott-on: and cushion in the manlief"described, it is then ready to receive the final externalcovering, which may be made of any suitable material and be tufted into lozenge or other shapes or merely be ornamented by buttons 1Q, which will be held in position by cords passed through the mattress and tied against the under side thereof in the usual manner.

By the employment of the marginal cushion. the edges of 'the couch-surface will be positivelyr reinforced against any tendency to sag; ci" mash down, and, further, the external covering' will be shielded against' ex eessive wear and strain at those points Where the cushion is located.

its described, the couch may be constructed without the head-section, and crossing suiiace and terminates at the head of the

strips

9 and 10, t u's securin them to the the toot of the bottom ii." their employment IDO spring woven wire part and connectingstrips ma be used in connection with beds, 'chairs antisofas, and the like.

I claim 5 1. A cushion-frame including a bottom, strips extending longitudinally of the bottom at each side of the frame, a marginal cushion secured to each strip, a filling interposed between the cushions, and a covering engaging '11o the cushions.

25 v4:. A couch-frame having a woven-Wire bottom, a longitudinal stri secured to the up-` per and lower surface of t e Woven-Wire bottom at each sideof the Jframe, cushions supv ported by the strips7 fastening devices passing through the strips and the adjacent cushions, 3o a filling interposed between said cushions and a strip of fabric extending over the filling and engaging the cushions.

5. The lcombination with a couch-frame provided With transverse bars, a Woven-Wire 35 ottom secured to the frame, spaced longitudinal strips secured to the woven-Wire bottom on each side of the frame, marginal cushions supported by the strips and secured to the vatter, said cushions defining an interme- 4o v iate p0cket,a filling disposed Within the pocket, a strip of fabric covering the pocket and extending over the marginal cushions for engagement with the cushion-frame, and springs interposed between transverse bars 45 and t e woven-Wire bottom. In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in ythe presence of tWo Witnesses MILES JosEPHVBUcKLEY.
