To all whomit may M.

Be it known that I, Josera LUPPINO, a

subject of the King of Italy, residing in.

Ridgewood, in -thecounty .df Bergen and 5 State of New Jersey, have inventedv certain new and useful Improvements in Side Guards for Spring-Mattresses, of lwhichvthe following is a'specitication. v

This invention relates to an improvement in metallic formed mattresses, the object of the invention being toprovide an improved metallic formed mattress having .an improved `side guard which will prevent the shifting or .spreading of thehair or other stuffed mattress by locating and holding the same securely in position in, an effective mannen i' One of the objections'to tresses in general use is that the hair or on shiftson the same from one side to the other, or so spreads in use thatga veryunsightly appearanceis the result.. j 1

sists of a wiremattress which-is .provided at each side thereof with an improved lon'- Vgitndin'al side guard connected to'the inattress bottom in an improved manner.

A further object of the invention is the provision of an improved side -guard the upright supporting members of which will be so formed that a part thereof will take the place of a series of vcross links of the inattressbottom. Y

In the drawings accompanying and forniing part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of oneend of a2 bed showing this improved mattress in'position; and

Fig. 2 is a detail view of one of the sup-44 porting members of the side 'guard secured to one ofthe connecting plates of the mattress bottom.

Similar characters of reference indicate -corresponding parts in the figures of the drawings.

The present improvement is particularly adapted for use in connection with what is known as 'a national fabric, in which the bottom 2 is made up of short wires or links 3 and angular connecting plates or members 4 usually of triangular form, this mattress bottom the metallic mat I' other stuffed mattress which is placed there-v The present improvement, therefore,`coii` sinn GUARD Fon ysiembra-1an'rriarissns.

' springs 5 with the usual end or cross-bar 6, In the present instance, the side guard is made up ofa series of angular members or supports the-upright parts of which, asv 7 are connected-by short links or wires 8 to form the side guard, each end support being connected by a similar wire with one of the connecting plates, to which a coil spring 60 9 is secured, thus obviating the necessity Vof using separatecoil springs for maintain-` -ing the side guardl in an upright position. Each of these upright members' is provided with an'inwardly extending portion. l0, the 65 inner end of which is riveted or otherwisefastened to one of the` `connecting plates of the metallic bottom and tliustakes the placev of one ofthe cross wires of thesbottom in a manner which will be readilynnderstood. -70 `-By making the present improvement in,

the manner set forth it is very simple inits' construction and, inexpensive tov manufacture. '1. I clairnas my invention: v 'I5 1..
