ABSTRACT:
Support assembly in a piece of furniture for bearing some weight of a person's body. Assembly includes a relatively rigid frame having at least a pair of laterally-spaced panel supports. A weight bearing panel has laterally-spaced edge zones for anchoring to the pair of laterally-spaced frame supports. The panel may comprise an outer layer against which body weight is to be applied and comprises cellulosic fibers. A rearward tensile layer of this panel is of compact material having a moderately high modulus of tension, and a layer of set glue intervenes to fasten together these outer and rearward layers. Suitable anchoring means fasten the laterally-spaced panel edge zones to the pair of laterally-spaced frame supports. The rearward tensile panel layer may comprise economical dead steel, aluminum or like metallic sheeting as contrasted with spring steel sheeting. The outer layer of cellulosic fibers may comprise hardboard, particle-board, plywood or the like. The panel desirably may be convexed on the outer layer side substantially medially of the anchoring edge zones as the latter are fixed to the laterally-spaced frame panel supports, with this convexed panel being deflectable reversely under applied body load to concave contour for sling support of this load.
