SPRING BED-BOTTOM- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 336,538, dated February 16, 1886.

Application filed October 29, 1885. Serial No. 181,239.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN M. WILsoN, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Spring Bed-Bottoms; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in spring bed-bottoms; and the invention consists in the peculiar construction and combination of springs and slats removably secured together, all as more fully hereinafter set forth.

Figure l is a perspective view with the parts detached. Fig. 2 is a cross-section with the parts together.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, A represents a series of slats secured near their ends to straps B, each end of'such straps being provided with a buckle, O.

D are cross-slats of the proper length to fit the bedstead, and to these slats are secured a series of coil-springs, E, which are retained in their proper relative positions by webbing F, the ends of which are secured to the slats D, as shown. Secured to each end of the slats D is a strap, G. The slats D, with their springs, are first put in the bedstead, their ends resting upon the ordinary supportingrails, one being at the head and the other at the foot. The slats A are then placed on top (No model.)

of the spring E and buckled down, as shown in Fig. 2. By this construction I provide a cheap and portable bed-bottom having the advantages of the spiral springs at the ends, and also the springs of the slats A.

It will readily be seen that the slats A can easily be rolled into a bundle, and the entire structure shipped in a compact form.

I am aware of the Patents Nos. 70,330 and 254,924, and make no claim to the constructions shown therein. as forming part of my invention.

I deem it important that the springs be disconnected from and independent of the slats A, so that the latter may be rolled up when desired. I also deem itimportant that the webbing F be secured to the slats D and cover the springs, thus forming an even bearing and support for the ends of the slats A.

WVhat I claim as my invention,.is

The slats D, having secured thereto the springs E, webbing F, covering said springs and secured to the bottom of said slats, and the straps G, secured to said webbing and slats, combined with the longitudinal slats A, connected together by the straps B, and arranged to rest fairly on said webbing, and provided with buckles O, substantially as and for the purpose described.

JOHN M. WILSON.
