Abstract: A spring tube (1) encloses in known way a plurality of springs (2) arranged side by side, with facing parts of the wall (11) of the tube (10) joined, between one spring (2) and a subsequent spring, by welding lines (12), so that each spring (2) is contained in a portion (13) of tube (10), closed and separated from adjacent portions (13). The welding lines (12) have a predetermined minimum width (L) and are cut from one side of the tube inwards, so that each of the closed portions (13), containing a spring (2), can be compressed without any effect on the adjacent portions (13). this improves comfort while using a mattress manufactured with grouped spring packs (S) obtained from the spring tube (1). According to a second preferred embodiment, the spring tube (1) is cut along the welding lines at both sides.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for collating a plurality of separate groups or bundles of similar flats mailpieces arranged in a predetermined delivery point sequence, each mailpiece imprinted with a distinct delivery point or address indicia, to produce a single stream of mailpieces in new groups, where each new group comprises a plurality of mailpieces all addressed to a distinct delivery point. The apparatus comprises a plurality of feed units, each unit configured to process a quantity of similar mailpieces, each with a distinct delivery point indicia on the face of the mailpiece, and to deposit each mailpiece in a distinct pocket on a collation conveyor which traverses all of the plurality of feed units. Each pocket will ultimately contain different mail pieces, all addressed to the same delivery point Multiple new groups of mailpieces are then automatically placed in containers in a sequence corresponding to a predetermined delivery route.
