ABSTRACT:
A support rail for springs as might be used in a spring assembly such as a bedding or seat foundation. The support rails are metal and form part of a frame to which the springs are mounted. The support rails have a generally inverted U-shape and include a pair of spaced upright webs with a load carrying plate extending between and located below the upper ends. The plate is further defined by a base and side sections which curve outwardly and upwardly from the base before connecting to the upper ends of the webs. The curves of the side sections define inwardly facing receptacles located immediately below a necked area of reduced width. The support rails are utilized with springs that include at least one mounting portion shaped to snap mount into the receptacles upon downward insertion into the load carrying plate. Features are also provided to limit longitudinal movement of the springs relative to the support rails once mounted.
