Abstract
Abstract Upholstery straps used in providing body supporting surfaces for a seating furniture piece such as a lawn chair are maintained in a desired spaced relation through the use of elongate, comb-like fastener means secured to the structural skeleton of the furniture piece. Terminal ends of the upholstery straps are wrapped about the structural skeleton of the piece and are secured by being penetrated by the teeth of the comb-like members.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
270 words
In a strap fastening arrangement for a seating furniture piece which has a frame defining a structural skeleton of the piece with elongate rod-like portions thereof extending in predetermined directions and outlining occupant supporting areas of the piece, first and second spaced apart elongate toothed comb members secured to parallel portions of the frame which define opposite side edges of an occupant supporting area, and a plurality of elastomeric straps each having opposite terminal end portions penetrated by teeth of the comb members and extending transversely between the parallel portions of the frame to span the occupant supporting area and to define a portion of a body supporting surface, an improvement which facilitates positioning and retention of the straps in a desired uniform spacing and comprising: each of said straps having a predetermined width longitudinally of the parallel portions of the frame, each of said comb members having a plurality of projecting teeth distributed non-unifoRmly therealong with a plurality of first adjacent pairs of teeth spaced one from another at a predetermined distance less than the predetermined strap width for penetrating a terminal end portion of a common one of the plurality of straps and with alternate adjacent pairs of teeth spaced one from another at a predetermined distance greater than the predetermined strap width for penetrating terminal end portions of adjacent straps, said comb members being secured to said frame portions with said first pairs of teeth aligned transversely thereof, and said comb members and said straps cooperating for uniformly spacing the plurality of straps one from another at a distance about the same as the predetermined strap width.
