Abstract
Described is a spring core for a mattress, consisting of a multiplicity of identically shaped spiral springs with in each case two end rings lying diametrically opposite each other, which change to a spring coil part arranged centered between them, whereby the end rings are shaped approximately circular and consist essentially of two assembly legs, one transition leg and one additional leg and are opened on one side, whereby the leg lying opposite the respective open side of the upper or lower end ring is bent radially outward with respect to the longitudinal axis of the spring.
Claims9
A spring core for a mattress, comprising:
- a plurality of identically shaped spiral springs, each spring comprising a central spring coil part having opposite first and second ends, a first end ring secured to the first end of the spring coil part and a second end ring secured to the second end of the spring coil part and diametrically opposite the first end ring;
- each end ring being of approximately circular shape and being open on one side, and comprising first and second assembly legs adjacent the open side of the end ring, a transition leg extending between the first assembly leg and spring coil part, and an additional leg extending between said assembly legs and positioned diametrically opposite said open side of the end ring;
- and
- each of said additional legs being bent radially outwardly with respect to said spring coil part and being positioned outside the radius of said spring coil part, whereby said additional legs cannot contact said spring coil part when the core is compressed.
