INSTALLATION AND CLIP FOR ANCHORING FURNITURE SPRING

A cone spring is anchored to the top of a wooden bedding or furniture slat of rectangular cross section by a generally U-shaped preformed wire clip. Each leg of the clip has an outstanding finger at its upper end. One or both fingers may be straight and at least one straight finger is inclined upwardly and makes an angle greater than 90 DEG with its leg. Such finger serves, in cooperation with the bottom turn of the spring, to lock said turn to the top of the slat by its camming action progressively as the turn is inserted between the fingers and the top of the slat and the spring is rotated. The bottom turn ends in a straight tip portion tangent to the remainder of the turn. A high and wide entrance space results, into which the turn may be speedily and dependably inserted to reach under the fingers and over the slat top.
