Abstract
Abstract An extruded plastic net, having heavy strands in one direction and lighter strands in the other direction, is used to replace the two previous elements i.e. (1) a wirerope spring-bridging unit, and (2) a cotton scrim in a mattress construction thus permitting sewing of the spring-bridging unit to the cushioning material.
