Abstract: An edge support spring and handle structure is provided for use in mattresses comprising a continuous length of wire bent to have an elongated top portion and a pair of transverse arms extending downwardly and inwardly from the ends of the top portion, and a bottom portion that mirrors the top portion, with each pair of mirrored transverse arms meeting in a loop to form a pair of loops to which a pair of inwardly extending members of a handle attach. The handle is constructed to have an elongated portion for gripping outside the mattress cover and inwardly extending members that attach to the loops in the edge support spring, such that any strain created by use of the handles will be directed to the edge support spring.

Abstract: A bedding foundation frame for use in manufacturing a bedding foundation. The foundation frame includes side rails and end rails formed into a rectangular configuration and a plurality of slats extending between the side rails and parallel to the end rails. Selected ones or all of the slats are reinforced by sheet metal strips positioned in juxtaposition to the bottom of the reinforced slats with a longitudinally extending flange in the central portion of the strip extending upwardly into a longitudinally extending slot in the center of the bottom face of the reinforced slat. These sheet metal strips, because of the presence of the flange in the sheet metal strip, function to provide additional resistance to bending of the slats under normal loads while simultaneously preventing breakage of those slats under abnormal loads.

Abstract: A pocketed coil spring assembly for use in the manufacture of mattresses or cushions or the like comprising a plurality of strips of integrally connected closed fabric pockets each containing one helically coiled wire compression spring having its axis disposed transversely of the strip, and wherein each of the strips contains a single band of inter-connected springs formed from a single length of wire into a plurality of interconnected helical coil springs. The springs of the bands may contain inserts such as foam cylinders or pocketed coil springs to impart differing degrees of firmness to different strips. Adjacent coil springs may be separated by multiple transverse lines of attachment in order to posturize the product.

Abstract: A bedding product comprising a collapsible spring assembly, a pad covering the spring assembly and a fabric covering encasing the padded spring assembly. The spring assembly comprises a plurality of collapsible spring modules connected to a plurality of spaced parallel connecting rods and locking means to hold the assembly in an expanded condition and prevent its collapse. The parallel connecting rods are located between border rods in the top and bottom planes of the assembly. Each of the spring modules comprises four individual wires joined together with helical lacing wire wrapped around a center section of each of the wires. The center sections of the wires define an axis about which each of the wires are capable of rotational movement. Upon the collapse of the assembly, each of the spring modules collapses rotating around the axis of the module. The assembly is held in an expanded condition by a plurality of locking rods, pieces of plastic mesh or other locking means.
