In order to economze in the use of springs, We propose to suspend each alternate slat, G, at the ends,

Ifromthe straps H, by the metallic or other suitable loops I, and-provide them with one spring in the mid- The arrangement, herein described, of the longitu`' dinal slats A, blocks C, transverse slats B D G, doublelooped springs E,.grooved and slotted blocks F, metallic loops I, and straps H, as and for the purpose specified.
