Specification of Letters Patent.

' Application filed December 4, 19 1 3. Serial No, 804,670.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, RICHARD BRADSHAW,

:of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certainnew and useful Improvments in Mattresses, of which the following is the specification.

My invention relates to improvements in mattresses and-the object of the invention is to provide mea -ns for preventing spreading 0 the mattress horizontally thus keeping'it in normalsha'p'e and at the same time to provide means for preventing the gripping loops mattress an it"consists essentially of a pluralityoi' bands extending freely crosswise and longitudinally of the mattress and calsection through the mattress as shown in Fi I. H

%n the drawings like letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in each figure.

'. thereo' above'andbelow the filling.

C am similar bands extending at right on- A is a. mattress cover provided with a. suitable filling A.

B and B are upper and lower'bands extendin across the mattress within the cover G and gles tothe bands B and B within the cover thereof and above and below the filling. The bands Band B and C and C are connected at both ends to each other and to the cover 'f.--'*ii"*suitable stitching 2 and 3. The

bands 'and B, (land G extend at their (pulling out at the edges of the ends through the seams 4and b or the mattress cover formed at the corners of v the Patented une 1915;.

mattress so as to form connecting loops B and B and C and-C. Preferably the-bends B and B and the end loops C and C are formed in one strip of material, the ends of which are connected together at 3. Sinai-- larly the bands 0 and C and loops B and B are formed in one strip. It will also be noticed that the bands B and B and C and. I

C are located intermediately between the;

cross and longitudinal rows of the nsua. mattress tufts thus allowing thefree actio of the bands from end to end independentl of the mattress cover. i I

By connecting the mattress cover ,t

ends of the bands it "will be readily that it will be impossible for the math to spread in either direction horizontally as to deform the shape of the mattress al-f-j lowing it to become thin. in parts. And also by forming the gripping loops integral withthe band the pulling out of theseloops from the mattress cover is prevented.

What I claim as my invention is:

In a mattress, the combination with a -&

mattress cover and a filling thereof, of a plurality of longitudinal and cross surroundingbands extending above and below the. mattress filling so as to form a lat-tice-..

like structure and connected-to the mattress cover at the corner seam thereof, the band' portions extending above themattrcss ing being connected by looped integral tions to the band portions extendingelo the mattress filling, such looped 'portio ing exterior to the mattress cover, e an for the .purpose specified. 2 RICHARD BRADSHAW, Witnesses: 1
