(under subclass 254) Devices comprising supports extending across the frame in a spring assemblage for the diminished bottoms of the spring units.
(1) Note. When the springs do not diminish at the bottom, as in hour-glass or cylindrical forms, the bottom coils may be supported in the same manner as the top coils are connected, and search for such supports should be made in subclasses involving topcoil connections.
(2) Note. These subclasses include the form of the support, its connection to the frame, and the method of connecting the spring unit to it.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS: 248, for arrangements of the supports with respect to each other. Also search subclasses 235 and 267+.
