Abstract: A folding mattress support system replaces a conventional bed frame with rails and the box spring. The mattress support system is lighter, easier to transport, and provides more storage space beneath the mattress. The mattress support system includes bed frame assemblies, central connecting bars, edge attachments, headboard attachments and a bed skirt. Leg supports fold out from the bed frame assemblies, which themselves unfold in the middle. Central connecting bars connect inner side edges of the bed frame assemblies. Plastic edge attachments are attached at outer corners of the bed frame assemblies and hold a bed skirt taut when the frame assemblies are standing on extended leg supports. A mattress is then placed on top of the assembled mattress support system. Optionally, metal edge attachments at the head corners hold both the bed skirt and a headboard. Alternatively, headboard attachments protrude from under the bed skirt and support a headboard.
Abstract: A process for removing undesirable constituents from a gas, including providing an immovable, non-combustible woven adsorbate element, passing a flow of the gas through the element so that the gas is sharply deflected in the element and so that the constituents are adsorptively added to the element, interrupting the gas flow when the element reaches a maximum load of adsorbed constituents, directly heating the element while the gas flow is interrupted, by applying an electric voltage, to a process temperature of at 200.degree. C.
