Abstract: When according to the invention, constructing a resilient insert for a mattress or similar support of profiles (1) made of resilient resin and joining adjacent profiles along their side edges, a contiguous resilient inert will be achieved which may be disinfected by washing without being damaged. To achieve the best possible comfort, the profile (1) is formed with transverse slots (4 and 5) so that the profile may yield in an expedient manner. To carry the mattress, though-going, preferably transversely extending rods (2) are inserted into the lower side of the profiles, thereby allowing the mattress to be used without a bed bottom.

Abstract: Chair comprising an underframe, a back being pivotally connected to the underframe, a seat being pivotally connected to the back, the seat at its front edge also being pivotally connected to a foot rest which by a guide is so connected to the underframe that the angle which the foot rest forms with the seat varies with displacement of the seat. The control consist of sliding device being pivotally connected to the underframe and spring which impart a force impacting in the longitudinal direction to the sliding device in dependence on the position of the chair.

Abstract: A dowel for assembling furniture parts comprises parts (3, 4) adapted to engage by snap action adjacent parts of another dowel. To facilitate the handling of such dowels the engaging parts (3, 4) are placed together in the same end of the individual dowel and constructed to engage separately corresponding parts of another dowel. One part (3) has the form of a protruding part, whereas the other part (4) has the form of a receiving part. The insertion of the protruding part (3) in a receiving part (4) is facilitated by a slit (24) which makes the protruding part yield. The protruding part (3) and the receiving part (4) may be formed in connection with plane surfaces (5 and 6) forming an angle of 90.degree. with each other, so that dowels of the type described can be used for assembling furniture parts abutting each other perpendicularly, in an angle joint as well as in T-joints and cross joints.

Abstract: A container which includes a dispensing element for dispensing granular materials e.g., peanuts or almonds, wherein the container includes a dispensing opening in its side wall adjacent its lower end, wherein, an outwardly projecting curved roof part is arranged along the upper part of the dispensing opening and an inwardly projecting bottom part is provided along the lower part of the dispensing opening, and wherein the dispensing element is pivotally supported between the roof part and the bottom part and the upper surface of the dispensing element extends generally from the rear part of the bottom part to the front part of the roof part, the dispensing element including a handle for pivoting the dispensing element from a generally horizontal position to a downwardly and outwardly tilting position, the dispensing element being, moreover, provided with a skirt which in all positions of the dispensing element overlaps the bottom of the container.

Abstract: In a dispenser for powdered products, the bottom wall of the storage container comprises a stationary outlet spout forming a measuring chamber and cooperating with a horizontally displaceable valve member having upper and lower walls to obstruct the upper and lower ends of the spout in respective extreme positions of the valve member. The upper wall of the valve member is integral with an agitator member that is slidable along an inclined section of the bottom wall of the container.
