US Patent:

6357209, Mar 19, 2002

Filed:

Nov 9, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/710392

Inventors:

Niels S. Mossbeck - Carthage MO
Thomas J. Wells - Carthage MO

Assignee:

LP Property Management Company - South Gate CA

International Classification:

B65B 6304

US Classification:

53430, 53114, 53118, 29 911

Abstract:

A method of packaging spring units in which first and second webs of insulator material are fixedly located against the top and bottom surfaces of the spring units. The webs are folded around outermost coil springs along longitudinal edges of the spring units. The reverse sides of the webs are glued, welded or otherwise permanently secured together. In another embodiment, side portions of the webs are secured together, sandwiching the spring units therebetween. The resultant bedding products are then roll-packed.

International Classification:

B21F 3500

US Classification:

2989692, 29 91, 140 3 CA, 53114

Abstract:

A system and method for manufacturing pocketed compound nested coil springs includes inserting a compressed, preferably pocketed, smaller coil spring into a vertically oriented larger coil spring either prior to compressing and inserting the outer coil spring into pocket material or after the larger coil spring has been compressed and prior to being encapsulated in the pocket. Alternative systems and methods are also contemplated which include forming the outer coil spring around the inner coil spring and pocketing the resulting nested spring unit.

Assignee:

L P Property Management Company - South Gate CA

International Classification:

A47C 2300

US Classification:

5716, 5247, 267103

Abstract:

A bedding or seating product comprising a base having a generally rectangular frame and a plurality of internal rails, a wire grid spaced above the base and a plurality of plastic modules connecting the wire frame and the base. Each of the plastic modules has four arms extending upwardly from a bottom portion and terminating in end portions. Each end portion has a pair of perpendicular grooves adapted to receive intersecting wires of the wire grid. The modules are nestably stackable to save space during shipping.

International Classification:

A47C 2707

US Classification:

56558, 5716, 5720

Abstract:

A method of assembling strings of pocketed coil springs into an innerspring assembly which may be used as the core of a mattress, cushion or similar body support foundation uses a fabric material, preferably having an adhesive component, between rows of pocketed coil springs. The adhesive material serves to bond the rows of springs to each other and to position them relative to one another to prevent expansion and/or contraction of the spring assembly.

International Classification:

A47C 2700

US Classification:

56558, 5720

Abstract:

A string ( ) of pocketed coil springs ( ) is formed by inserting compressed springs between upper and lower plies of a folded, preferably thermally weldable fabric ( ). The springs are maintained in a compressed configuration while a longitudinal seam ( ) joins the free edges of the thermally welded fabric ( ) together. Subsequently, the compressed springs ( ) are allowed to relax into an expanded configuration after which a transverse seam ( ) is formed in the fabric ( ) between the adjacent springs ( ) thereby encapsulating each spring ( ) within a fabric pocket ( ). The string ( ) of pocketed coil springs ( ) is advantageously formed without the need for reorienting the springs ( ) after being inserted between the plies ( ) of the fabric ( ) and thereby avoiding the disadvantages and complications associated with turning or reorienting the pocketed coil spring ( ).
