ABSTRACT:
A seat pad support (12) disclosed includes at least one strip (22,24) of generally flexible tape which is preferably of the pressure sensitive type extending laterally between elongated supports preferably embodied by wire torsion bar springs (16) that cooperatively support a foam pad on a seat frame (14), whereby the tape connection of the springs facilitates storage, handling, and assembly. In the preferred construction, two end strips (22,24) of the tape respectively connect end torsion bars (28,30) of the springs (16). Each end tape strip (22,24) is folded and bonded to itself and preferably includes recesses (46) associated with the torsion bars (28,30) connected thereby so as to facilitate connection of the springs to the frame. The pad support (12) has particular utility for supporting a foam cushion pad (52) and its springs (16) incorporate forward and rearward intermediate torsion bars (32',32") respectively positioned above and below the tape connected front and rear end torsion bars (28,30) to provide support for the cushion pad (52 ) at an upwardly extending front pad recess (56) and a downwardly extending rear pad projection (58). In an alternate embodiment, two intermediate tape springs (39) connect central intermediate torsion bars (32) of the springs (16).
