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 15):
A method for assembling a cushioning unit, comprising the steps of:\n wherein individual pocketed spring modules comprise more than two pocketed springs which together surround and define an opening, a) activating a first and second row of welding phalanges, respectively inserted in said openings in first and another rows of modules and closed together, to weld together said first and another rows of modules; b) loading a second row of modules into parallel and adjacent contact with said first row of modules; c) after step b), separating said rows of welding phalanges and removing said welding phalanges from said first and another rows of modules; d) moving said second row of modules to enable insertion of said first row of welding phalanges into said openings in said second row of modules, and moving said first row of modules to enable insertion of said second row of welding phalanges into said openings in said first row of modules; and e) inserting said first row of welding phalanges into said openings in said second row of modules, and inserting said second row of welding phalanges into said openings of said first row of modules, and activating said welding phalanges to weld said first and second rows of modules together.
