Abstract
A decking suspension material and method of application to a furniture frame is provided whereby in one embodiment a fabric is knitted from a plurality of polymeric yarns and at least one of the yarns has a relatively high gauge. More specifically, an elastomeric polyester warp yarn is utilized having a gauge of 35 as contrasted to the other yarns which have a denier of 150. The high gauge elastomeric warp yarn consists of a monofilament which is exposed along the bottom surface of the fabric when installed on the furniture frame to provide resiliency and strength to the decking suspension material.
Claims21
A knit decking suspension fabric for decking a furniture frame comprising:
- a plurality of polymeric yarns, said yarns comprising textured warp and weft knitted yarns and an elastomeric monofilament yarn positioned only in the warp direction of said fabric, said monofilament yarn having a larger gauge than said textured warp and weft knitted bars, said monofilament yarn knitted in and exposed on only one surface of said fabric to form a rib in the warp direction.
A decking suspension material for decking a furniture frame comprising:
- a planar base, a plurality of elastomeric polymeric yarns having a gauge in the range of 10 to 35, said polymeric yarns sewn into only one surface of said base in the warp direction only, said sewn-in yarns being exposed and forming raised parallel exposed ribs therealong.
