Method for packing a mattress spring bed

Abstract

A method for packing a mattress spring bed includes: A. overlaying at least two mattress spring beds onto each other to form a mattress spring bed stack, the top side and the bottom side of the mattress spring bed stack are a mattress frame or a rigid support frame; B. placing the mattress spring bed stack into a sealing bag, then vacuuming the sealing bag, resulting in the springs of the spring beds being compressed; C. binding the mattress spring bed stack by strap. The mattress spring bed stack has a small volume, thus reducing the occupied space, increasing the transportation efficiency, and effectively reducing manufacture cost. In addition, the top side and the bottom side of the spring bed stack are respectively a mattress frame or a rigid supporting frame.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

First Embodiment

(14) Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a mattress spring bed 10 of the present invention comprises springs 12 and a mattress frame 14. The springs 12 are connected to the mattress frame 14. The springs 12 are detachably fastened to the mattress frame 14. The mattress frame 14 is a bed board made of rigid material, for example, wood or iron.

(15) Referring to FIGS. 3 to 6, in accordance with a first embodiment, a method for packing a mattress comprises the steps of:

(16) A. overlaying two mattress spring beds 10 on to each other to form a mattress spring bed stack 20. The top side and the bottom side of the mattress spring bed stack 20 are the respective mattress frames 14 of the two mattress spring beds 10. The sides with the springs 12 of both mattress spring beds abut together (as illustrated in FIG. 3);

(17) B. placing the mattress spring bed stack 20 into a sealing bag 30, then vacuuming 100 the sealing bag 30, resulting in the springs 12 of the mattress spring beds 10 becoming compressed (as illustrated in FIG. 4);

(18) in step B, before vacuuming 100, a compressor may be used, for example a pair of press boards, to hold and compress the mattress spring bed stack 20, so that the springs 12 of the mattress spring beds 10 are compressed. Vacuuming 100 the sealing bag 30 under this compressed condition ensures the uniformity of the mattress spring bed stack 20 and enhances the vacuuming efficiency.

(19) After the springs 12 of the mattress spring beds 10 are compressed, the thickness of the compressed mattress spring bed stack 20 (as illustrated in FIG. 4) is generally reduced to 25%-35% of the original thickness of the uncompressed mattress spring bed stack 20 (as illustrated in FIG. 3); and

(20) C. binding the mattress spring bed stack 20 using strap 40 (as illustrated in FIG. 5). The strap 40 may bind the mattress spring bed stack 20 in a pattern of two parallel straps in traverse direction and two parallel straps in longitudinal direction, as illustrated in FIG. 6. It should be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the straps 40 can bind the mattress spring bed stack 20 with more than two straps in each direction resulting in a net pattern.

(21) The number of the mattress spring beds 10 may be an even number, in two adjacent mattress spring beds 10, the side of the springs 12 of one mattress spring bed 10 faces the side of the springs 12 of a second mattress spring bed 10. Alternatively, the mattress frame 14 of one mattress spring bed 10 abuts the mattress frame 14 of a second mattress spring bed 10. Both arrangements, i.e mattress frames 14 sides facing each other or the springs sides facing each other, provide greater smoothness, and rigid support to surround the soft springs.

(22) The number of the mattress spring beds 10 may also be 3, 5 and so on. The top side and the bottom side of the mattress spring bed stack 20 may be a mattress frame 14 or a rigid supporting board, in both cases the strap 40 can bind the mattress spring bed stack 20 effectively, so that soft cushions are placed inside the rigid supporting frames, thus preventing damage.

(23) It should be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the springs 12 of the mattress spring bed 10 and the mattress frames 14 can be an inseparable unitary structure.

(24) Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 11, using a cloth cover 60 to wrap the mattress spring bed 10, padding the interior with sponge, placing on a supporting frame 70, the mattress frame 14 is served as a bed board, the mattress spring bed 10 can be assembled as a sofa bed.

Second Embodiment

(25) Referring to FIG. 7 to FIG. 10, in accordance with a second embodiment, a method for packing mattress springs, in which the springs 12 and the mattress frame 14 of a mattress spring bed 10 are separable, comprising the steps of:

(26) A. overlaying the springs 12 of two mattress spring beds 10 on to each other to form a spring stack 50 (as illustrated in FIG. 7);

(27) B. placing the spring stack 50 into the sealing bag 30a, then vacuuming 100 the sealing bag 30a, resulting in the spring stack 50 being compressed (as illustrated in FIG. 8);

(28) Preferably, in step B, a compressor may be used, for example a pair of press boards to hold and compress the spring stack 50, so that the spring stack 50 is compressed. Vacuuming 100 the sealing bag 30a under this compressed condition ensures the uniformity of the spring stack 50 and the efficiency of vacuuming 100.

(29) Preferably, in step B, the thickness of the compressed spring stack 50 is decreased to 15%-25% of the original thickness of the spring stack 50.

(30) C. using frames 14 of the mattress spring beds 10 to hold the compressed spring stack 50, resulting in a mattress spring bed stack 20a. The top side and the bottom side of the mattress spring bed stack 20a are the respective mattress frame 14 of two mattress spring bed 10 (as illustrated in FIG. 9); and

(31) D. binding the mattress spring bed stack 20a by strap 40. The strap 40 binds the mattress spring bed stack 20a in a pattern of two parallel straps in traverse direction and two parallel straps in longitudinal direction (as illustrated in FIG. 10).

(32) It should be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the number of the mattress spring beds 10 are not limited, only if the top side and the bottom side of the mattress spring bed stack 20a are mattress frames 14 or rigid supporting frames, the strap 40 can effectively bind the mattress spring bed stack 20a.

(33) Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 12, using a cloth cover 60 to wrap springs 12 of the mattress spring bed 10, padding the interior with sponge, the springs 12 are then covered by a cloth cover 60, placed on a mattress frame 14, with a frame 80, and assembled to an iron bed with a mattress spring bed.

(34) Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof for carrying out the patent for invention, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the patent for invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
