Patent number: 11812860Abstract: A pocketed spring assembly comprises a plurality of parallel strings of individually pocketed springs. A dimensionally stabilizing substrate is secured to at least some of the strings on one of the top and bottom surfaces of the strings. A scrim sheet is secured to at least some of the strings on an opposed surface of the strings to maintain the positions of the strings. The dimensionally stabilizing substrate is laterally rigid enough to maintain length and width dimensions of the coil spring assembly. However, the dimensionally stabilizing substrate is flexible enough to allow the pocketed spring assembly to be roll packed for shipping.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventors: Jason V. Jewett, Carsten Nyhues, Scott D. Reading

Patent number: 11389008Abstract: A foldable tension spring mattress, wherein a vertical pressure is converted into a tension by means of a wrapping blanket; the tension acts on the periphery of a spring net and is converted into a pulling force acting on coil springs and penetrating springs; and then the pulling force is uniformly dispersed to each of the coil springs, so that the local overstressing of the coil springs and the penetrating springs is avoided, thereby preventing the spring net and the penetrating springs from being arched and sunken. As a result, the mattress may keep good elasticity all the time, which further increases the comfort level of the spring mattress. The present solution may alleviate the plastic deformation of the coil springs to further increase the comfort level of the spring mattress and improve the elasticity and durability of the spring mattress.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2018Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Inventor: Bo Nie

Patent number: 10426279Abstract: A bolster pillow which provides adequate support, without deforming or collapsing, to a user while being lightweight and commercially viable. The bolster pillow includes an internal rigid tube, a cushioned sleeve, an internal cover, and an external cover. The internal rigid tube acts as the structural support element to ensure the overall shape of the bolster pillow and does not change regardless of the number of uses. The internal sleeve envelops the internal rigid tube and extends from a first end to a second end of the internal rigid tube. The cushioned sleeve adds padding to the bolster pillow for increased comfort. The cushioned sleeve is concentrically positioned with the internal rigid tube and is positioned about the internal cover, opposite the internal rigid tube. The external cover tensionably envelops the internal rigid tube, the internal cover, and the cushioned sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2017Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Inventor: Zafar Ibrahim

Patent number: 6371458Abstract: The invention relates to a spring mattress comprising a plurality of interconnected coil spring elements, whereby the mattress includes at least two layers extending in parallel with the plane on the mattress and each exhibiting different properties of resilience. The feature characterizing the mattress in accordance with the invention are that the same coil springs extend across both the layers and that these coil springs exhibit a higher degree of bias only along part of their extension, thus forming the layers exhibiting different properties of resilience.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1999Date of Patent: April 16, 2002Assignee: Stjernfjadrar ABInventor: NilsEric Stjerna

Patent number: 6272700Abstract: A bedding or seating product comprising a base having a pair of end rails, a pair of side rails and a plurality of intermediate rails. A plurality of intermediate wooden slats are spaced above the intermediate rails of the base by a plurality of spacers which may be sinuous springs, other types of springs or structures. A plurality of modular springs are secured to the intermediate slats and extend upwardly therefrom. An upper wire grid is secured to coplanar upper portions of the modular springs.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2000Date of Patent: August 14, 2001Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventor: Brenda A. Wickstrom

Patent number: 6101651Abstract: A novel pillow core is made of plastic springs. A plurality of springs are connected together by a plastic link frame to form an actual pillow shape. The pillow core made of the plastic springs has strong supporting capacity, good elasticity and ventilation, and eliminates areas of heat concentration. It can easily be made into different sizes and can accommodate the neck portions of different users. In addition, it is easy to carry about and eliminate the necessity for cleaning and drying. Moreover, it saves raw materials such as feathers or silk cotton and the like, and shows excellent quality with reasonable prices.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1999Date of Patent: August 15, 2000Assignee: Wing Hang (3Y) Industries Ltd.Inventor: Yee Keung Tang

Patent number: 5713088Abstract: An innerspring assembly, such as for use in a mattress, comprises a plurality of coil springs defining upper and lower terminal convolutions and body portions therebetween. Adjacent coil springs are attached together at the body portions thereof with the terminal convolutions being unattached to one another, so that the terminal convolution can move independently of one another.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1997Date of Patent: February 3, 1998Assignee: Ohio Mattress Company Licensing and Components GroupInventors: Robert F. Wagner, Barry William Freeman, Paul J. Langer

Patent number: 5401007Abstract: Wire spring assemblies for use in furniture items such as mattresses and seat cushions are made of two half units. The half units include spring elements extending from a generally planar deck with the spring elements containing complementary connecting structures at their distal ends which enable the half units to be assembled together by inverting one half unit relative to the other, aligning the two half units and snap-fitting the connecting structures of the spring elements together to form a double sided mattress or seat core. The assemblies are then upholstered in a normal fashion.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1994Date of Patent: March 28, 1995Assignee: Hoover Group, Inc.Inventors: Upton R. Dabney, William C. Rodgers

Patent number: 4918773Abstract: A spring interior comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending bands of springs disposed side by side and connected together by helical lacing wires in the top and bottom faces of the bands. Each band of springs comprises a single length of wire formed into a plurality of substantially vertical coil springs interconnected by interconnecting segments of wire located alternately in the top and bottom faces of the bands. The coil springs of each row are interlaced with the adjacent coils of the same row. The spring interior is characterized by sections of differing firmness throughout the length of the spring interior. The sections of greatest firmness have such increased firmness imparted by a plurality of posture rods which extend through interlaced portions of a plurality of pairs of interlaced coils of the spring interior.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1988Date of Patent: April 24, 1990Assignee: Leggett & Platt, IncorporatedInventor: Terence A.
