摘要:
A spring interior has a main face, or an extension of a main face, which is non-planar and has varying contours determined at least in part by at least one stiff yet resilient former of wire, rod, strip or the like secured to the main face. Preferred formers have parallel limbs joined by an integral, transverse base. The limbs may be inserted into parallel helical wires of the spring interior if such are provided. The former may be bent before or after being secured to the spring interior. The spring interior may be heat-treated to relieve stresses after it is in its final shape.

THE INVENTION IS CONCERNED EITH THE MOUNTING OF VENTILATORS AND OTHER FITTINGS SUCH AS HANDLE ANCHORAGES, ON MATTRESSES AND OTHER ARTICLES OF UPHOLSTERY. KNOWN FITTINGS AND RETAINING WASHERS ARE EMPLOYED. EACH FITTING HAS A NECK WHICH EXTENDS THROUGH A HOLD IN THE ARTICLE AND A HEAD WHICH LIES ON ONE SIDE OF THE ARTICLE. EACH RETAINING WASHER COMPRISES A PLATE WITH AN APERTURE FOR THE NECK OF THE ASSOCIATED FITTING AND TONGUES WHICH ALLOW THE NECK TO BE PUSHED INTO THE APERTURE BUT STRONGLY RESIST ITS WITHDRAWAL. THE INVENTION PROVIDES BANDS OF FITTINGS AND BANDS OF RETAINING WASHERS, AND APPARATUS WHICH SEVERS A FITTING AND A WASHER FROM THE BANDS, GUIDES THEM TO OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE ARTICLE, PASSES THE NECK OF THE FITTING THROUGH A PREFORMED HOLE IN THE ARTICLE AND INTO THE APERTURE IN THE RETAINING WASHER.
