Publication number: 20180146791Abstract: A mattress includes a spring extending between first and second points to provide a first spring rate in a first direction. A polymer fiber structure is provided between the first and second points and adjoins the spring. The polymer fiber structure includes fibers interlinked with one another to provide the second spring rate in the first direction. An example method of manufacturing a mattress is provided that includes arranging springs to provide a mattress innerspring. A polymer fiber structure is introduced in a first state to the innerspring to provide an assembly. The assembly is further processed and the polymer fiber structure is simultaneously altered from the first state to a second state.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2018Publication date: May 31, 2018Inventors: Surendra S.

Patent number: 8689378Abstract: A cushion assembly includes an aesthetic cover having a perimeter panel providing a perimeter height. Spaced apart cover panels extend between the perimeter panels. The perimeter and cover panels together provide a cushion cavity. A cushion includes randomly oriented fibers bonded to one another to provide a core of a batt that has opposing surfaces. The batt includes manufactured, tufted and desired design heights. A tuft extends through the cushion to the opposing surfaces to maintain the cushion in the tufted height, which is less than the manufactured height. The cushion is provided at the desired design height with the tufted cushion arranged within the cushion cavity. The tufted height is generally less than the desired design height.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2009Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: IndraTech LLCInventor: Surendra S. Khambete

Publication number: 20120304392Abstract: Disclosed is a mattress including a plurality of springs arranged in rows to provide an innerspring, and at least one polymer fiber rail including polymer fibers interlinked with one another. The at least one polymer fiber rail has a face adjoining one of the rows of springs. The at least one polymer fiber rail can be tuned to provide desired characteristics, and, together with the springs, the rail provides a comprehensive mattress system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2012Publication date: December 6, 2012Inventor: Surendra S.

Publication number: 20110094038Abstract: A cushion assembly includes a cover having a perimeter panel providing a perimeter height. Spaced apart cover panels extend between the perimeter panels. The perimeter and cover panels together provide a cushion cavity. A cushion includes randomly oriented fibers bonded to one another to provide a core of a batt that has opposing surfaces. In one disclosed example, the fibers are polyester and include an average length randomly oriented in three dimensions. The core has a thickness that is greater than the average length to accommodate the average length in all three dimensions. The batt includes manufactured, tufted and desired design heights. A tuft extends through the cushion to the opposing surfaces to maintain the cushion in the tufted height, which is less than the manufactured height. The cushion is provided with the desired design height with the tufted cushion arranged within the cushion cavity, the desired design height less than the manufactured height and more than the tufted height.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2009Publication date: April 28, 2011Inventor: Surendra S.

Publication number: 20090061198Abstract: A method is disclosed for equipping a gymnasium with padded articles. The padded articles include non-woven, randomly oriented polyester fiber core blocks, floor mats and wall mats. In one example, the blocks are coated in a flexible material, such as flocking, rubber or a non-rubber elastomer, to prevent an exterior of the blocks from fraying. The mats also include a core of non-woven, randomly oriented polyester fibers that are wrapped in a durable, aesthetic covering. A scrim can be used to provide desired flammability characteristics, eliminating the need for toxic additives and flame retardants. The blocks can be washed and reused, and are fully recyclable.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2008Publication date: March 5, 2009Inventor: Surendra S. Khambete
