  • Patent number: 11653770
    Abstract: A pocket spring core as well as a method for producing a pocket spring core for use in the manufacture of mattresses or furniture upholstery. The pocket spring core has a plurality of springs, a number of which lie in a row one behind the other in respective flexible pockets, forming a bank of springs, and a number of adjacent banks of spring, which together form a supporting surface, are interconnected. The springs of at least one region of the supporting surface have different springing characteristics from the springs of the neighboring regions. At least one part of the individual banks of springs consists of bank portions with differing spring characteristics, the pocketed springs of each bank portion are identical, at least some of the neighboring portions of adjacent banks of springs are of different lengths and the neighboring portions of adjacent banks of springs are interconnected.

  • Publication number: 20180042394
    Abstract: A method for producing an upholstery spring, such as for upholstered furniture or mattresses includes several steps. One of the steps includes at least regionally applying a heat-sensitive colour indicator to a spring steel wire before, during or after the bending of the spring steel wire. The spring steel wire is heated to at least the changeover temperature of the colour indicator. The upholstery spring is then finished.

  • Publication number: 20160157626
    Abstract: A method for producing a pocket spring core including multiple interconnected spring coils, each having a plurality of individual helical springs arranged one behind the other and encased in a pocket is disclosed. At least some of the spring coils are made of at least two partial spring coils abutting each other at their end faces. A spring coil made of partial spring coils is formed by progressively synchronously joining and interconnecting the partial coils together in the position in which their end faces point towards each other relative to the longitudinal axes of their individual springs.

  • Publication number: 20160150892
    Abstract: A spring core includes a plurality of rows of springs which are disposed parallel to each other and each of which includes a plurality of individual springs connected to each other. The spring core is designed in such a way that each spring is in the form of a ring which is disposed on edge in the loading direction and made of an elastically deformable wire having an inwardly directed notch in the progression of the contour.

  • Patent number: 7979935
    Abstract: An innerspring assembly includes a plurality of first springs arranged side-by-side in axis-parallel relationship and wound in the form of a helix. Several first springs which are arranged behind one another in a row define a spring strand. An edge reinforcement is formed by second springs placed on at least two opposite borders of the innerspring assembly, with each second spring being connected with two first springs of an adjacent spring strand.
