1, FERDINAND ROBERT MÜLLER of 47 Waterloo Street, Glasgow, in the County of
Lanark, North Britain, Commission Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This Invention, which relates to improvements in the construction of matresses of
curled hair, grass or other like fibre substances, has for its object to enable such
matresses to be easily cleaned, renovated and brought back to their normal condition
whenever such is required, without the necessity of taking the matress to pieces and
teasing the hair or other fibres used in the construction of the same.
In the matresses made according to these improvements, the curled hair, grass or
other analogous fibre material used, is united into the mattress form by sewing the
curled hair or other fibres through and through en masse in continuous lines of sewing
so that the hair or other fibres are completely maintained together without the
necessity of sewing the fibres up inside cases of tick or other woven substance as at
present employed.
The body of the matress constructed as in the manner hereinbefore described is,
for purposes of utility, placed within a bag or envelope of tick or other woven fabric
but without being sewn or otherwise fastened thereinto or thereby as in matresses
previously made.
The bag or envelope is constructed with an open mouth at one end or side provided
with buttons or other suitable fastenings for closing it.
Dated this Fourth day of August 1886.
