Abstract:
Methods and systems for no-glue pocketed spring unit construction. Rows of pocketed springs modules, comprising more than two pocketed springs surrounding a central hole, can be automatically loaded onto an assembler; pocketed spring-surrounded openings can be automatically aligned with welding phalanges; and probe/anvil welding pairs can be inserted into modules in different rows of modules, closed around polymer pocket fabric, and activated to weld rows of modules together without glue; without a user manually loading rows of modules onto the assembler.

Claim (Index 21):
A cushioning unit assembler, comprising:\n wherein individual pocketed spring modules comprise more than two pocketed springs which together surround and define an opening, a module transporter configured to load a linearly connected row of said modules onto the assembler and to apply tension to said row of modules if one or more of said modules is fixed in position; an insertion frame, with multiple positioning rods mounted thereon, said positioning rods configured to be extended into spaces between adjacent pairs of modules, said insertion frame configured to move said row of modules into position for welding phalanges to be inserted into said openings in said row of modules; at least two rows of said welding phalanges configured to be inserted into said openings of respective rows of modules, adjacent pairs of said rows of welding phalanges configured to be inserted into said openings, to close together, and when so inserted and closed, to be activated to weld said respective rows of modules together.
