ABSTRACT:
A handle apparatus constructed for use with a mattress of the type having a frame assembly including coil springs and rod-like members extending through the coil springs enclosed in a fabric cover, and handle receiving grommets positioned in the cover. The handle apparatus includes a strap-like hand grippable member extending along an outer surface of the cover, the grippable member having a pair of end portions positioned adjacent a pair of grommets in the cover, respectively. Each end portion has secured thereto an elongate connecting member adapted to extend through an adjacent grommet, each of the connecting members having a connecting end portion which extends adjacent the coil springs. The connecting end portion includes a longitudinally extending slot therein and an opening which leads into said slot. The slot is partitioned into a receiving portion and a locking portion by a flexible and resilient finger member which extends substantially transversely across the slot, thereby enabling the rod-like member to be inserted through the opening into the slot receiving portion and past the finger member into the slot locking portion. The finger member is operable to prevent the rod-like member from moving back to the slot receiving portion, thereby securely connecting the connecting member to the rod-like member. The rod-like member preferably extends through intermediate turns of adjacent coil springs so that the strain applied to the mattress by lifting the same by the handle apparatus will be transmitted mainly to the springs to prevent damage to the mattress cover.
