21 Method of Making Spring Core For A Bedding or Seating Product US13455478 2012-04-25 US20120204426A1 2012-08-16 Guido Eigenmann; Niels S. Mossbeck; Darrell A. Richmond
Disclosed herein is a method of making a spring core (12) for a bedding or seating product (10). The spring core (12) has coil springs (26) having unknotted end turns (72, 74) made from high tensile strength wire. In each embodiment, the end turns (72, 74) of the coil springs (26) are generally U-shaped having one arcuate leg (76) longer than the other (78), the legs (76, 78) being joined by a connector (80) having an arcuate bump (81) therein. The springs (26) are oriented in the spring core (12) such that a long leg (76) of one end turn (72) abuts a shortleg (78) of the adjacent end turn (72) prior to being wrapped in helical lacing wire (32). The high tensile wire enables the coil springs (26) to be manufactured using less wire than heretofore possible.

26 Method and apparatus for producing pocket coil bag row US10577234 2004-11-08 US07426810B2 2008-09-23 Hiroyuki Takahashi; Yuuji Kameda
An apparatus for producing a pocket coil bag row has two or more coil spring producing apparatuses for producing springs having different wire diameters and has an apparatus for transporting coil springs from each coil spring producing apparatus to a coil chute section. The coil chute section has receiving chambers corresponding to coil springs having different diameters sent in from each coil spring producing apparatus, and opening/closing sections are provided in the lower portions of the receiving chambers. The coil chute section has one exit and has a control device for controlling opening/closing so that the opening/closing of the opening/closing sections is performed in accordance with a previously set arrangement pattern of the coil springs. The coil chute sends coil springs to the exit of the coil chute section in a preset order and individually seals the coil springs in continuous bags.

30 Spring interior forming and assembling apparatus US724408 1991-06-28 US5139054A 1992-08-18 Thomas P. Long; Michael L. Shelton; Thomas J. Wells
An apparatus for forming and assembling spring interiors is provided in which, in the preferred embodiment, adjustable reforming dies adjacent a cutting station lengthen the supporting structure of a bridging portion of the coil band that interconnects coils near the end of the band to compensate for the change of length caused by the cutting of the endmost bridging portion separating spring assemblies. Adjustable dies are also provided to vary the length of the bridging portions when they are initially formed. The coils are interlaced at a lacing station from continuous lacing coil bands.
31 Spring bands for incorporation in spring units US278532 1988-11-23 US4886249A 1989-12-12 Leslie T. Docker; William Whittleworth
A known kind of spring unit, for use in mattresses, seats and the like, is made as an assembly of spring bands which are disposed side by side and a plurality of helical wires (5,6) which extend transversely to the bands and are linked to them. Each spring band comprises a row of springs (1), and each pair of adjacent springs is integrally connected by a connector (2) which includes two spaced end portions (3), which are transverse to the band and are embraced by helical wires. Variations in manufacture lead to variations in the spacing between the end portions. The invention provides for the further bending of each connector (2), after initial formation of the spring band, to cause the end portions to take up a predetermined spacing. This is effected by reshaping corner portions of the connector between dies (31,42) so that the corner portions (8) are finally of more gentle curvature than they were (12) when initially formed.
32 Offset continuous row coil spring assembly US9796 1987-02-02 US4771494A 1988-09-20 Henry Zapletal; Edwin B. Watts; Terry L. Aronson; Thomas J. Wells
A spring assembly for mattresses, innersprings, and the like. The assembly comprises rows of coils, each row comprising a continuous length of wire formed into a plurality of coils interconnected by Z-shaped wire segments alternately disposed at the top and bottom of the coils. Adjacent rows of coils are connected by helical wire wound through overlapping sections of the Z-shaped wire segments. The overlapping connected sections are straight, flat offset sections located on opposite sides of each coil with the center of each overlapped section being located in a common diametral plane of the coil so that complete compression of the coil does not result in the coil being pulled laterally, twisted and distorted.
33 Method and apparatus for forming a row of spring coils from a continuous length of wire US905851 1986-09-10 US4726106A 1988-02-23 Henry G. Mohr
A single continuous length of wire is formed into a continuous length spiral or helix, which is subsequently placed onto a moving chain conveyor having pins upstanding therefrom. The helix then is folded into a wave configuration for establishing a row of parallel coils by folding the links so as to move further apart a pair of adjacent pins of adjacent links while simultaneously moving closer together other pins on the same adjacent links. Thereby, the individual spring coils are arranged in generally parallel alignment one with the other within the row. Each coil in the row is thereby connected at its opposite ends to adjacent coils by three-dimensional looped connector segments. The looped connector segments are then formed into substantially two-dimensional planar configuration by engagement of the center section of the connector segment with a forming tool, which forming tool is then operative to pull the center portion of the connector segment outwardly, and then after clamping of the end loops or turns of the coils at opposite ends of the connector segment, rotating the forming tool and the center portion of the connector segment so as to establish a connector segment having parallel opposite end sections interconnected by an offset section. During forming of the end segments or heads of the connector segment of the coils, each connectors segment is deformed from a looped three-dimensional attitude into a generally planar configuration comprising parallel end sections interconnected by an offsetting center section.
34 Seating spring assembly and method US310145 1981-10-09 US4415147A 1983-11-15 Thomas S. Biscoe; Rodney S. Taylor
The seating spring assembly includes a series of elongate sinuous spring wires with each of the wires touching each of the adjacent spring wires at frequent intervals along their length. Frangible welds, in the form of spot welding, are provided at spaced apart touching locations along the lengths of the wires to temporarily secure the adjacent spring wires together. A sleevelike plastic coating surrounds the wires and the frangible welds are broken when the seat is occupied by a person so that the plastic coating then constitutes the sole element holding the spring wires together and the full flexibility and comfort of the seating spring assembly is retained.

40 Pocketed Spring Comfort Layer US15901458 2018-02-21 US20180177305A1 2018-06-28 Richard A. Krtek; Austin G. Long; Eric Rhea; Darrell A. Richmond
A comfort layer for a bedding or seating product has slow-acting pockets characterized by the individual springs of the comfort layer being pocketed with either semi-impermeable or non-permeable fabric. Each seam joining opposed plies of fabric around each of the coil springs of the comfort layer may be segmented, allowing air to flow between the segments, thereby increasing the luxury “feel” of the comfort layer. The method of making the comfort layer includes compressing the springs and creating pockets with a welding horn and an anvil.
