Abstract A cushion-supporting flexible apparatus for chairs, lounges and other furniture having a pair of spaced-apart crossmembers with a plurality of flexible members constituting the cushion-supporting flexible apparatus extending between the crossmembers. Each of the flexible members consisting of an elongated resilient hollow member having cylindrical end portions and a flattened arcuate cross section therebetween upon which the cushion rests. Cylindrical fittings are fastened to the crossmembers at one end portion and the other end is telescopically received by the hollow cylindrical end portions of flexible members so that when a person sits on the cushion, the elongated resilient members are flexed downwardly as their end portions slide in a direction away from the crossmembers without becoming disengaged therefrom.
In a flexible support apparatus for furniture and the like having crossmembers mounted in spaced relation to each other, resilient support members extending between said crossmembers, said resilient support members comprising elongated hollow members having a substantially flattened arcuate cross section, connecting members telescopically mounted at the end portions of said elongated hollow members and engaging said crossmembers and fastening means securing said connecting members to said crossmember s whereby upon the flexing of said elongated hollow members said end portions will slide along said connecting members.
