page_text: The improved seats, mattresses or the like forming the subject of the present
invention are characterized by the particular arrangement and combination of
blades or strips forming a spring, by the special method of mounting the ends
of these blades on pins or spindles and by the method of securing these pins or
spindles to the frame of the seat, mattress or the like.
Our improved seats, and mattresses are very elastic, of very simple construction,
and consequently their cost is very small.
To enable our said invention to be readily understood, we have shown in the
accompanying drawing, by way of example only, a seat made according to our
invention. In this drawing

Figure 2 a section corresponding to Figure 1;
Figure 3 a plan;
Figure 4 a side view;
Figure 5 a section corresponding to Figure 4;
Figure 6 is a detail view showing the method of mounting the blades.
As shown, our improved seat comprises a series of blades a of which the ends
are bent round at b, are afterwards cambered at c and are finally rolled freely
around the pins or spindles d.
The rolling round of these ends can be made secure by means of a rivet e.
The pins or spindles d are secured to the frame of the seat in the following
manner: Two metal bands f are cut off so as to form the parts g which, when
raised and rolled up, form seats or sockets for the pins or spindles & between
each interval formed by the blades a. The metal bands f are screwed or nailed onto
the frame of the seat.

Washers of copper or other metal are interposed between the rolled-up parts h
and the similarly rolled-up ends of the blades a.
The blades a are connected together by another blade or strip ; onto which
they are riveted as shown in the drawing.
Finally between the bottom of the seat and this blade j, we place single or
double springs k. These springs are riveted or nailed onto the bottom of the seat
and onto the blade j.
It will be understood that, by reason of the arrangement and the combination
of these different parts, we obtain very elastic seats.
In fact, according to the weight the seat supports, the blades yield and
their ends turn more or less around the pins or spindles d to take up their normal
position again as soon as the seat ceases to be occupied.

Improvements in Spring Seats, Mattresses, and the like.
We, ARTHUR EMILE NAULOT, Civil Engineer, and LOUIS LALLEMENT, Saddler,
both of 50, Boulevard de la Villette, Paris, in the Republic of France, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
-
The improved seats, mattresses or the like, forming the subject of the present
invention are characterised by the particular arrangement and combination of
blades or strips forming a spring, by the special method of mounting the ends
of these blades on pins or spindles and by the method of securing these pins or
spindles to the frame of the seat, mattress or the like.
Our improved seats and mattresses are very elastic, of very simple construction,
and consequently their cost is very small.
To enable our said invention to be readily understood, we have shown in the
drawing accompanying our Provisional. Specification, by way of example only, a
seat made according to our invention. In this drawing.
Figure 1 is a front view;
Figure 2 a section corresponding to Figure 1;
Figure 3 a plan
Figure 4 a side view; and
Figure 5 a section corresponding to Figure 4;
Figure 6 is a detail view showing the method of mounting the blades.
As shown, our improved seat comprises a series of blades a of which the ends
are bent round at 6, are afterwards cambered at c and are finally rolled freely
around the pins or spindles d.
The rolling round of these ends can be made secure by means of a rivet e.
The pins or spindles d are secured to the frame of the seat in the following
manner: Two metal bands f are cut so as to form the parts 9 which, when
raised and rolled up, form seats or sockets h for the pins or spindles & in each of
the spaces between the blades a. The metal bands f are screwed or nailed onto
the frame of the seat.
Washers of copper or other metal are interposed between the rolled-up parts h
and the similarly rolled-up ends of the blades a.
The blades a are connected together by another blade or strip į onto which
they are riveted as shown in the drawing.
Finally between the bottom of the seat and this blade j, we place single or
double springs k. These springs are rivetted or nailed onto the bottom of the seat
and onto the blade j.
It will be understood that, by reason of the arrangement and the combination
of these different parts, we obtain very elastic seats.
In fact, according to the weight which the seat supports, the blades yield and
their ends turn more or less around the pins or spindles d to take up their normal
position again as soon as the seat ceases to be occupied.

page_text: To permit of replacing one or more of the blades or strips or of effecting other
repairs, we can mount the seat-cover on a frame separate from or independent of
that to which the metallic part is attached.
In this case one of the said frames enters a recess formed in the other frame and
the two parts are united by screws or in any other suitable manner so as to allow
the same to be easily detached and re-assembled.
-
Our invention can receive numerous applications; we will mention, by way of
example, the seats of carriages, the benches of wagons, trams, omnibuses, and other
vehicles, mattresses, the seats of chairs, and the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
A spring seat, mattress or the like composed of a series of blades or strips a
the extremities of which are bent, cambered and rolled freely around pins or
spindles d, which pins or spindles are secured to the frame by strips 9 rolled
around the said pins or spindles in the spaces between the blades a, the said
strips 9 being formed by severed and raised parts of metallic bands f secured to
the said frame, substantially as herein before described with reference to the
specimen drawing, and for the purpose specified.
