This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1861 edition. Excerpt: ...itself will possess the character of a spring, combining with the action of the coil spring. A single slat c passes through each series of springs in one direction, while two slats d pass through in the opposite direction, (one over the other, ) and clasp between them a portion of the spring on the central turn thereof as shown at d, the upper slat bearing upon the coil on one side, and the under slat bearing upon the coil on the other side. These slats are then riveted together as shown at e. The springs are "twined," in a common manner, as shown by the net-work of twine or cords F. The upholstering is applied to each base of the spring on both sides of the frame, so that the bed-bottom may be used either side up. The drawings, figs. I and II, represent one section of a bed bottom as constructed to receive the upholstering. It requires two sections of this size for one bed bottom. When made in sections as described they are more convenient and durable in use, and wear more uniformly than when made in one section. These sections may be changed in their relative positions when the bed is made up; i. e. the section at the foot may be placed at the head, and vice versa. They may also be changed end for end, and used either side up; consequently a uniform wear upon all parts of the bed is obtained, and greater service and durability insured. The frame being connected to the springs midway between their respective bases, so as to bear equally upon the coil, the springs have free action upon both sides of the frame, while the frame itself adds its elasticity to that of the springs; consequently a softer and more pliable and elastic bed is produced, which may be used on bedsteads of ordinary construction.
