Restricted rocker spring assembly

#The present disclosure relates to rocker springs and rocker spring assemblies used in furniture members.

#This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.

#Known rocker spring assemblies for furniture members have either one or two coiled springs that are captured between bracket members, one of the bracket members is mounted to a furniture member support frame. The other of the bracket members is mounted to a furniture member body. During rocking motion of the furniture member one of the springs is extended with respect to the other spring. A biasing force of the extended spring helps to return the furniture member to a neutral position ready for rocking in either of a forward or rearward rocking direction.

#The drawings described herein are for illustrative purposes only of selected embodiments and not all possible implementations, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

#FIG. 1 is a front left perspective view of a rocker spring assembly of the present disclosure;

#FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the rocker spring assembly of FIG. 1;

#Corresponding reference numerals indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

#Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.

#Referring to FIG. 1, a rocker spring assembly 10 includes a first coiled spring 12 positioned proximate to a parallel second coiled spring 14. Each of the first and second coiled springs 12, 14 are mounted to a first bracket member 16 and an oppositely arranged second bracket member 18. The first and second bracket members are substantially identical and configured in mirror image configuration; therefore, the following discussion of the first bracket member 16 applies equally to the second bracket member 18.
