Abstract: A cosmetics container has a bottle, a neck insert defining an entry opening and a wiper diaphragm mounted at the lower end of the entry opening. A cap has an applicator rod and applicator extending therefrom, for insertion into the bottle and withdrawal from the bottle with cosmetics. The wiper diaphragm defines a wiper orifice, and has a conical descending upper surface and a concave lower surface converging with the upper surface to create a thin edge peripherally surrounding the wiper orifice. The wiper diaphragm is fabricated of semi-rigid plastic which stretches and flexes to accommodate and seal to the applicator rod and which is rigid with respect to the applicator for wiping it. The concave lower surface conducts wiped cosmetics away from the orifice. The bottle includes a plastic liner. A modified wiper includes a radially segmented spill cover deployed across the wiper orifice, to prevent cosmetics from running from the bottle if it is tipped over while the cap is off.

Abstract: A nestably stackable bedding foundation assembly which replaces the traditional border wire and disposed coil spring foundation assembly in a so-called box spring. The nestably stackable foundation assembly may be nestably stacked with numerous other such assemblies for transportation, thereby avoiding the need to compress and tie the assembly for shipping. A bedding foundation comprises a rectangular base, a nestably stackable bedding foundation assembly fixedly attached atop the base, and spring means disposed between and connected to the base and the nestably stackable assembly.

Abstract: A spring module for disposition between a supporting frame and a grid frame to yieldably support the latter relative to the supporting frame, comprising spaced, parallel top and bottom attaching elements and spaced supports disposed between and attached to the top and bottom attaching elements embodying vertically-disposed and inclined lengths of wire disposed symmetrically about the vertical axis of the module.

Abstract: A bent wire spring module embodying a clamp element at the upper end interengageable with the cross wire of a grid frame without requiring the formation of deviations in the cross wire to which it is attached.

Abstract: A bent wire spring module provided with spirally-formed attaching elements at its upper end for interengagement with the border wires of a grid frame.

Abstract: A spring module for use in a spring assembly embodying a base frame and a grid frame comprising upper and lower attaching elements for connecting the module to the base frame and grid frame and a plurality of lower and upper symmetrically-disposed, yieldable legs connecting the lower and upper attaching elements.

Abstract: A bent wire spring module wherein there are upper and lower attaching elements for attachment, respectively, to a grid frame and base frame and vertically-disposed, spaced, parallel legs connecting the upper and lower attaching elements, each leg comprising an arcuate length of wire embodying diverging legs and upper and lower straight lengths of wire integrally connected at one end to the ends of the legs of the arcuate length of wire and at their opposite ends to the upper and lower attaching elements.

Abstract: A bent wire soring unit for disposition between a base frame and grid frame disposed in spaced, parallel relation to each other includes a lower attaching element for attachment to the base frame and an upper attaching element for attachment to the grid frame. The lower and upper attaching elements are disposed in spaced, parallel planes and transversely-spaced, substantially perpendicular supports connect the lower and upper attaching elements such as to permit the upper and lower attaching elements to move relative to each other in response to pressure applied perpendicularly to the upper attaching elements.

Abstract: A bent wire spring unit for interposition between a grid frame and base frame comprising upper and lower attaching elements and intervening spaced, parallel, oppositely-facing supports comprising vertical lengths of wire and at the upper and lower ends of the vertical lengths of wire, V-shaped lengths of wire, the legs of which are connected, respectively, to the vertical lengths of wire and to the attaching elements.

Abstract: A spring module for use in a spring assembly embodying a base frame and a grid frame comprising lower and upper attaching elements for connecting the module to the base frame and grid frame and a plurality of lower and upper symmetrically-disposed, legs yieldable in bending connecting the lower and upper attaching elements.

Abstract: A bent wire spring unit for interposition between a grid frame and base frame comprising upper and lower attaching elements and intervening spaced, parallel, oppositely-facing supports yieldably connecting the top and bottom attaching elements, said supports comprising first legs inclined upwardly in opposite directions from the bottom attaching elements at a predetermined angle, second legs inclined downwardly in opposite directions from the top attaching element at a sharper angle than the angle of inclination of the first legs relative to the bottom attaching element and spaced, parallel third legs connected at their upper and lower ends to the distal ends of the downwardly and upwardly-facing first and second legs, said third legs being concavely bent intermediate their ends in directions toward each other.

Abstract: A spring assembly wherein there are a plurality of spring members disposed in transversely and longitudinally-spaced relation between a rectangular base frame and a rectangular grid frame and secured thereto and wherein certain of the springs are positioned at the corners and so configured that pressure brought to bear on the grid frame bends the spring units outwardly relative to the corners to impart tension to the border wire.

Abstract: Bent wire spring units for use in combination with a rectangular base frame embodying longitudinally-spaced, parallel, transverse support bars and a grid frame embodying a rectangular border wire and longitudinally and transversely-extending grid wires connected at their ends to the border wire and to each other at their crossings, each bent wire spring unit comprising upper and lower attaching elements connected to each other by integral lengths of wire resistant to bending and torsion. The bent wire spring units are transversely symmetrical from side to side and asymmetrical from front to back and are positioned transversely and longitudinally of the base frame and grid frame with their front sides on adjacent support bars facing and with their lower and upper ends attached, respectively, to the support bars of the base frame and the transverse wires of the grid frame. If there are an odd number of support bars, the spring units are alternately positioned in oppositely-facing directions.

Abstract: Anchoring means for securing the lower end of a coil to a frame embodying spaced, parallel supports structured to be slidably engaged with upwardly and downwardly-facing shoulders on the supports for longitudinal adjustment of the lower ends of the springs on the supports.

Abstract: A spring assembly comprising a base frame and a grid frame held in spaced, parallel relation by transversely and longitudinally-spaced spring units, some of which are bent wire spring units and others of which are coil spring units, each bent wire spring unit being yieldable in bending and torsion to pressure applied to their upper ends, and symmetrical with respect to its vertical axes.
