Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 19, 1906.
Application filed October 6, I906. Serial No. 281,676.
lumbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usea ful Improvements in Upholstery; and I do temng devices or buttons 5.
hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same.
The object of this invention is to provide means for stiffening and making straight and perfect the edge'of upholstered bodies. I-Ieretofore such edges have been sewed to the edge wire at great expense of time, and because the sewing-thread is very limber the edge presented a very waved or irregular'appearance.
In the accompanying drawings, showing an exemplification of the invention, Figure 1 is a sectional view through an edge of upholstered work. Fig. 2 is a view looking at the fastening-buttons and stiffening-strips from the under side of the top or pad. Fig. 3 is a view looking at the outer side of the stiffened edge with a portion of the covering material broken out.
In the views, 1 designates the top or pad of, say, a couch.
2 designates a coil-spring of a springwork structure on which the top or pad is supported.
3 is an edge wire to which the top outer side of the spring is attached.
4 designates the stiffening-strip, which is secured to the under pliable covering or burlap 1 of the pad by means of staple-like fas- The stiffeningstrip may be of flat metal or stiff cardboard, and it is provided with holes 4?, properly spaced to permit the passage of the prongs of said buttons 5. I prefer to arrange the said buttons 5 end to end and to pass the contiguous prongs thereof through the same hole and bend said prongs down in opposite directions. The stiffening-strip may be made of several pieces, and it may be more or less supplemented in its function by the fastening devices 5, according to the length or number of the latter.
' When the pad or top is put in place, the stiffening-strip extends along and substantially parallel to the edge wire '3 somewhat like the flange of a lid flts on the top of a box,
and after the flexible band 6 is put on and tacked down in place on the frame 7 of the .springwork structure the strip 4is held in a positionsubstantially at right angles to the under side of the upholstery-top. It is obvi-. ous that the edge of the burlap l may be first tacked down to the frame 7 to hold the pad from removal vertically ofi the springwork structure in the same way as I have described the strip 6 as performing that function. The strip 4 therefore serves not only to insure a straight sightly edge, but it also looks the top from horizontal movement on ,the springwork. An advantage of this construction is that if the couch need repairing these strips or any one or more of the fastening devices-can be easily removed and replaced without damaging the covering material. A'further advanta e of the stiffeningstrip is that the edge 0 the upholstery is given largely-increased supporting and wearing quality over the single edge wire 3 heretofore used. Moreover, the flat stifleningstrip prevents the prongs of the, buttons from turning outward and penetrating backward through the covering material and also acts as a washer to prevent the prongs from pulling out of the backing material or burlap use What I claim, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is
1. In u holstery, the combination with a springwor structure, of a top or pad therefor, a stiflening-strip for the edge of said top or pad secured thereto independently of the springwork structure and metallic buttons or fastening devices constituting the means securing said strip to said edge.
2. The combination with a top oriad for application to upholstery-springwor of a strip of stiff material provided with openings for the passage of fastening devices, and said fastening devices passed through said openings to secure the strip to the pad, said strip being adapted and arranged to fit next to and engage the wall of the springwork structure substantially as described.
3. A pad for s'pringWork-upholstery comprising in combination a padded portion proper having a pliable under covering, a metallic stiffening-strip provided with openings for the passage of fastening devices, fastening devices passed through said openings. and securing said strip along the edge of the padded portion, and a flexible fasteningpiece beyond the stiflening-strip to secure the pad with reference to the springwork structure.
4. A pad for springworkupholstery, comprising in combination a padded portion proper having a pliable under covering, a stiffening-strip provided with openings secured along the edge of said padded portion in a position substantially at right angles to the plane of said padded portion, and a flexible fastening-pieee beyond the stiffeningstrip to secure the pad with reference to the springwork structure.
5. The combination With a springwork structure including a frame, as 7, of a pad for the springWork structure comprising a padded body proper having a pliable under covering, a stiffening-strip at the edge thereof, a
flexible fastening-piece beyond the stifi'ening-strip and fastened to said frame, said stiffening-strip lying adjacent the corner of the wall of the springWork.
6. The combination with a springwork structure, of a pad for said structure comprising the padded body pro )er, a stiffeningstrip having holes therein along the edge of the body of the pad, and staple-like fastening devices located end to end on said stifleningstrip and having contiguous prongs passed through the same hole in said stiffening-strip.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
