Described is a roller for the automatic application of at least one adhesive on a sheet for mattresses, which makes it possible to optimise the time needed for processing and the precision of the distribution of adhesive on the sheet in relation to the desired pattern, eliminating the waste of adhesive.

An apparatus for bonding and combining a pocket spring bed mesh and method, and a pocket spring bed mesh. The apparatus includes a rack, a platform arranged on the rack for driving the pocket spring bed mesh to move reciprocally, a rotating mechanism used for driving the pocket spring bed mesh to rotate, and a combining mechanism used for combining pocket spring strings to form the pocket spring bed mesh. The combining mechanism bonds and combines pocket spring strings to form an unshaped pocket spring bed mesh which is driven by the platform to move to the position of rotating mechanism to be rotated for adjusting the orientation, then the pocket spring bed mesh is moved by the platform to the combining mechanism, and the combining mechanism bonds and combines the side parts of the unshaped pocket spring bed mesh using a pocket spring string of a smaller diameter.

An apparatus for upholstering a truss allows an operator to staple a fabric web to the truss, rotate the truss, further staple the semi-finished truss and cut the fabric web. The truss is fully upholstered after the end surfaces of the truss are wrapped up in fabric and the fabric stapled in place. The apparatus may accommodate different size trusses. A web of fabric is pulled around at least one roller in the apparatus by rotation of two vise mechanisms on opposite sides of the truss.

A method of manufacturing suspension seating includes providing a blank to be used in a suspension member. The blank has a non-visible marker. The method also includes illuminating the non-visible marker with an excitation source. The non-visible marker becomes detectable when illuminated by the excitation source. The method further includes sensing the non-visible marker with a sensor. The sensor is configured to detect the non-visible marker when illuminated by the excitation source. The method also includes determining, by a controller, a characteristic of the blank using the non-visible marker. The controller is in communication with the sensor and configured to receive information related to the non-visible marker from the sensor. The method further includes adjusting the blank to achieve the desired characteristic.

In order to manufacture an innerspring unit comprising pocketed springs and having an increased stability at its edge regions, in a first step, an innerspring main body comprising a plurality of first strings of pocketed springs is provided. In a subsequent second step, at least one second string of pocketed springs is attached to a lateral surface of the innerspring main body, so that the at least one second string of pocketed springs extends in a longitudinal direction of the innerspring main body. The springs of the at least one second string of pocketed springs have a spring characteristic or a spring geometry different from the springs of the plurality of first strings of the innerspring main body. The at least one second string of pocketed springs forms together with the innerspring main body the innerspring unit.
