Abstract
Abstract A bedstead is disclosed including crossheads between which a woven mat support is stretched. The mat is made of spring steel wire, preferably plastic coated and includes longitudinal wire members having U-shaped ends. Hook rails are carried by the crossheads and have adjacent recesses between which they define V-shaped hook members. One of the hook rails is adjustable so as to tension the mat support. A U-shaped clamping bar is provided into which the U-shaped ends of the longitudinal wire members are fitted. A resilient intermediate layer is positioned between the clamping bar and the U-shaped ends of the longitudinal wire members. The clamping bar is positioned in the V-shaped hook members of the adjustable hook rail such that a clamping force is exerted on the U-shaped ends of the longitudinal wire members by the clamping bar in proportion to tension force applied to the mat support by the adjustable hook rail.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
Bedstead comprising crossheads between which a woven mat support is stretched, said mat being made of spring steel wire, preferably plastic coated, and including longitudinal wire members having U-shaped ends, hook rails carried by said crossheads each having a row of spaced apart V-shaped hook members with recesses therebetween, the hook members of one hook rail pointing towards the hook members of the other hook rail, one of said hook rails being adjustable so as to tension said mat support, a double folded U-shaped clamping bar encasing the U-shaped ends of the longitudinal wire members, the wire receiving open edge of said U-shaped clamping bar being nested in and facing the closed ends of the V-shaped hook members of said adjustable hook rail such that a clamping force is exerted on said clamping bar and said U-shaped ends by said V-shaped hook members in proportion to tension force applied to said mat support by the adjustable hook rail.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
Bedstead comprising crossheads between which a woven mat support is stretched, said mat being made of spring steel wire, preferably plastic coated, and including longitudinal wire members having U-shaped ends, hook rails carried by said crossheads each having a row of spaced apart V-shaped hook members with recesses therebetween, the hook members of one hook rail pointing towards the hook members of the other hook rail, one of said hook rails being adjustable so as to tension said mat support, a double folded U-shaped clamping bar encasing the U-shaped ends of the longitudinal wire members, the wire receiving open edge of said U-shaped clamping bar being nested in and facing the closed ends of the V-shaped hook members of said adjustable hook rail such that a clamping force is exerted on said clamping bar and said U-shaped ends by said V-shaped hook members in proportion to tension force applied to said mat support by the adjustable hook rail.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
Bedstead of claim 1 wherein a resilient intermediate layer is provided between said clamping bar and the ends of said longitudinal wires.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
Bedstead of claim 2 wherein said resilient layer is a strip of plastic material inserted into the clamping bar.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
Bedstead of claim 2 wherein said resilient layer is adhesively bonded to the clamping bar.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
Bedstead of claim 1 wherein the adjustable hook rail has a horizontal flange, said recesses extending into said flange a distance such that such longitudinal wire members do not contact said flange.
