Abstract:
A clip for securing furniture springs to furniture rails, the clip comprising:a body of metal material; a generally flat base portion of the body for engaging a furniture rail; a spring supporting portion of the body extending out from the base portion and curving back thereover for maintaining a portion of a furniture spring in a substantially predetermined position relative to the furniture rail; an outboard portion of the body bent to extend in a direction away from the flat base portion to a free edge of the body; a plastic liner secured to the curved spring supporting portion of the body for engaging the spring portion to minimize squeaking caused by metal-to-metal contact between the curved spring supporting portion of the clip body and the spring portion; and at least one liner holding member struck from the metal material of the body and spaced from the edge thereof for keeping the liner against the curved spring supporting portion of the clip body.
