Abstract: A pocket coil spring assembly is provided that includes a coil spring having an upper portion and a lower portion collectively defining an interior cavity of the coil spring. The pocket coil spring assembly further includes a fabric pocket encasing the coil spring with a top area covering the upper portion of the coil spring and a bottom area covering the lower portion of the coil spring. A discrete amount of flexible foam is poured on the top of the fabric pocket such that a top surface of the flexible foam extends above the coil spring. A mattress assembly is further provided that includes the flexible foam dispensed in continuous or discrete amounts between rows of pocket coil springs.

Abstract: The addition of a medial longitudinal score line (hinge point) along the longitudinal channels of the filter frame allows for thinner media and/or collapsing the frame on itself which will reduce scrap, save space and save tremendously on shipping costs. The additional score line can be a cut score, skip score, crush score or liquid line. The collapsed filter frame expands upon sliding into the channels of the filter frame media holder whereby the filter frame expands and widens to fit the filter assembly.

Abstract: A washable pillow comprising of a molded foam core with antimicrobial resistance encased in a washable netting and a sleeve. The pillow may be washed and dried using conventional household methods without significant damage or loss of mechanical properties.

Abstract: A method of forming a laminate charge, and a forming tool and apparatus for forming a laminate charge is disclosed. In a forming step, a suction force is generated between a forming tool and an impermeable sheet which causes the impermeable sheet to press the laminate charge against a male corner of the forming tool and into a female corner of the forming tool. The male corner of the forming tool is positioned between first and second parts of the laminate charge, and the female corner of the forming tool is positioned between second and third parts of the laminate charge. During the forming step, gas is injected between the forming tool and part of the laminate charge to create a gas cushion between the forming tool and the third part of the laminate charge. This gas cushion inhibits the third part of the laminate charge from becoming clamped against the forming tool as the laminate charge is pressed into the female corner of the forming tool.

Abstract: A multi-layer cushion with convolute sleeve comprises a cushion, such as a pillow, having an outer sleeve which has a first surface and a second surface which differ in structure. The first surface may be smooth and the second surface may comprise a plurality of convolute shapes defining a non-smooth surface. The outer sleeve may be reversible so that the smooth surface is facing out or the shaped surface is facing out. The first sleeve defines a cavity in which a plurality of chipped foam pieces may be positioned. The structure provides for two distinct feelings for the pillow, which a user may select.
