Spring anchor clip for flanged furniture frames

In combination a furniture frame with spaced first and second frame members, elongate spring means having a first end and a second end and catch means at said first end,

• anchor means for securing the first end of the spring means to the first frame member,
• the spring means spanning between the frame members with the first end connected via the anchor means to the first frame member and the second end connected to the second frame member,
• the first frame member including a thin flange member having generally planar surfaces extending from the first frame member to a distal end of the flange member in a direction away from the second frame member,
• the anchor means comprising a generally S-shaped clip member including a spring retaining hook portion, a frame engaging hook portion, and a central portion between the spring retaining hook portion and the frame engaging hook portion,
• the central portion having a forward end and a rearward end,
• the spring retaining hook portion extending from the central portion towards the rearward end and away from the second frame member so as to define a first slot between the central portion and the spring retaining hook portion open towards the rearward end, the first slot receiving and retaining therein the spring catch means,
• the frame engaging hook portion extending from the central portion towards the forward end and towards the second frame member so as to define a second slot between the central portion and the frame engaging hook portion open towards the forward end, the second slot receiving therein in a friction-fit-manner the open distal end of the flange member,
• the first end of the spring means secured to the first frame member with the spring catch means received in the first slot and the distal end of the flange member received in the second slot, wherein the spring means forwardly urges the second slot onto the open distal end of the flange.
