Abstract: A suspension structure for parts destined to support the human body in articles of furniture or the like, comprising at least one pair of elastic-interwoven straps, positioned in tension between two opposite sides of the frame of the article of furniture, in which the first and the second strap of the pair of straps are superimposed and linked together to form a space inside of which is lodged at least one spiral spring.

Abstract: The invention relates to an elastic belt for furniture, articles or vehicle seats wherein a plurality of weft yarns are interconnected by bonding yarns. The weft yarns may include longitudinal double S configurations which allow the weft to lengthen and shorten following the elastic warp threads.

Abstract: The invention relates to an elastic belt for furniture articles or vehicle seats, wherein a plurality of weft yarns are interconnected by bonding yarns each with two elastic warp threads, preferably not adjacent warp threads. The weft yarns show longitudinal double S configurations allowing the weft to lengthen and shorten following the elastic warp threads. The invention further relates to a textile machine having elastic warp threads, a device for controlling the bonding yarns and a weft yarn guide with a plurality of passages for the plurality of weft yarns, the guide being acted upon to shift the weft yarns in both directions into alignment with two alternated warp threads, and to form the weft yarns double S configuration.

Abstract: In order to provide a springing effect in correspondence with the edge of a belt frame in chairs, sofas or the like, a device is envisaged consisting of a plurality of arms, each fixed to a belt and extending from the latter in inclined position, as well as a common transverse element connecting all the arms. Due to stresses on the latter element, the arms deform the belts which cause a bending moment of elastic return.

Abstract: The elastic support member for supporting stuffing of furniture pieces such as for example beds, chairs and the like is of the type comprising an elastic net or belt formed of a net or honeycomb fabric or a woven fabric comprised of rubber threads or the like arranged at least in one of the transverse and longitudinal directions. The rubber threads or the like are covered with loops made of chain-stitches.

Abstract: The machine according to the invention comprises a device for feeding at least a continuous belt from a coil, a punching unit provided with at least a punch for punching holes into the belt; a cutter for cutting the continuous belt in segments of the desired length and a unit for applying and shaping the hooks to the belt. The unit includes a feeder for feeding and positioning the locking bushings relative to the belt holes, an inserter for inserting the hooks into the holes provided in the locking bushings and into the holes punched in the belt and a closer for closing the locking bushing about one hook end and for simultaneously shaping the other hook end.
