Abstract
A thin wall hollow, corrugated plastic spring is provided which has a plurality of annular peaks, each separated by a respective one of a plurality of annular valleys. A first group of bottoms of respective valleys are spaced a first distance from the longitudinal axis of the spring and a second group of valley bottoms, each of which alternate with a bottom of the first group, are spaced a second distance from the longitudinal axis of the spring. The peaks are arranged in the manner as the valley bottoms thereby providing a telescopic effect of the valley bottoms and a telescopic effect of the peaks when the spring is fully compressed. As modifications, all of the peaks may be at the same distance from the longitudinal axis while the distances of the valley bottoms vary as above described or vice versa. This provides for a telescoping effect of either the peaks or the valley bottoms. The spring rate is non-linear. The spring is preferably made of polypropylene and has primary utility in seating and reclining applications such as chairs, sofas, and bedding.

PLASTIC SPRING In the construction of many chairs and sofas it has been customary to employ wire coil springs. The use of such coil springs and the connection thereof to a chair or sofa frame is rather expensive.
It is an object of this invention to provide a less expensive spring assembly by utilizing a specially designed plastic spring instead of a wire coil spring.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a plastic corrugated spring which possesses a non-linear spring rate.
' Yet another object of the invention is to provide a plastic corrugated spring which has a short compressed height.
Other objects of this invention will becomeapparent from the following description with reference tothe drawings wherein:

FIG. 7 is a partial view in section of yet another modification of FIG. 1'; and
FIG. 8 is a partial view in section of a further modification of FIG. 1.
:Referring to FIG. 1, a spring is generally referred to by reference numeral 10, and is'supported between'a force transmitting member 11 and a support 13. The spring may either loosely rest on the support 13 or be secured thereto by an adhesive or other known means and the force transmitting member 11 may either loosely rest on the spring or be secured thereto by an adhesive or other known means. The force transmitting member 11' could represent a sofa cushion and the support 13 could represent a sofa frame. As can be seen by reference to the drawing, the spring comprises a tubular corrugated, thin-walled plastic member which has a plurality of peaks and valleys circumscribed about the longitudinal axis A-A of the spring at varying distances therefrom. Each peak 12 and 14 and each valley l6, 18 comprises a tubular wall, which is planar in cross-section and is generally parallel to the axis A-A. The side walls 20 and 22 of one valley and 24 and 26 of an adjacent valley are generally frustoconical in shape and are at an angle a with the axis of the spring which can vary between 85 and 60. The
The slant width W of wall 26 is the largest followed by the slant width of walls 24, 22 and 20 in order of magnitude. Obviously, depending upon the characteristics desired, the radii of circumscription of the walls can be varied whereby the slant width W of walls 22 and 24 are equal or the slant width of wall 22 may be greater than or less than the slant width of wall 24.
When the spring is under a load F which has been applied to the force transmitting member 11, the side walls are strained as shown in FIG. 2. Upon release of the load, the stresses of the frusto-conical side walls are released and they return to their original unloaded position thereby expanding the spring-back to its un- 38 percent of the largest peak outer diameter, about 40 percent of the smallest peak outer diameter, about 52 percent of the smallest valley bottom outer diameter, and about 50 percent of the largest valley bottom outer diameter. The thickness of the parison is about 7% j times the average thickness of the spring after it is molded. Since the spring is corrugated, the longitudinal periphery is 180 percent of the original length of the parison. Thus, the spring comprises a polymer which is biaxially stretched. Due to thebiaxially stretching, the wall thickness of the spring'decreases as the diameter of the spring increases. Thus, in this particular spring design, the parison was 184 mils thick and the thickness of the valley bottom wall 18 was 43 mils, the thickness of the valley bottom wall 16 was 40 mils, the thickness of the peak wall 12 was 20 mils and the thickness of the peak wall 14 was 9 mils. This biaxial stretching effects a stronger spring and increases the fatigue life thereof.
conical wire coil spring.
The primary purpose of alternating the radii of the valley bottoms l6 and 18 and of the peaks 12 and 14 is to provide a short, fully compressed heightfor the spring since the valley bottoms and peaks can telescope within one another as shown in FIG. 2..Obviously, if all of the valley bottoms and peaks were of the same radius, the fully compressed height would be much greater since the valley bottoms would abut each other. A short, fully compressed spring is a necessity in'furniture and therefore the design is very advantageous.
The difference in radii of the bottom walls 16 and 18 should be at least equal to the thickness of the bottom wall and the difference in radii-of the peaks l2 and 14 should be at least equal to the thickness of the peak wall. The ratio of the two different radii of the valley bottoms should not exceed l /2:1 and the ratio of the two different radii of the peaks should not exceed l /z:l. The maximum peak radius should not be more than three times the minimum valley bottom radius.
The wall thickness at the valleybottom should not be greater than 18 times the thickness of the' wall thickness at the peak. r t 1 The wall thickness of the spring may be within the range of from mils to 90 mils: If the wall thickness is less than 5 mils, the springrate is too low for an effective spring-for most applications and buckling of the than the combined axial lengths of the walls of the peaks l2 and 14 whereby ifthe radii of the peaks were equal and-thev radii of the valley bottoms were equal, the valley bottom walls will abut each other while there will be space between some or all of the peaks. In this instance, the principle of this inventionmay be followed by varying only the radii of the valley bottoms as disclosed in FIG. 3 to permit telescoping of the valley bottoms to thereby-shorten the compressed-length of the spring. In other designs the combined axial lengths of the walls of the peaks l2 and 14 may be larger, than the combined axial lengths of the walls-of valley bottoms 16 and 18 whereby ifthe radii of the peaks were equal and .the radii of the valley bottoms were equal, the peak walls will abut each other .while there will be space between some or all of the valley bottoms. In this instance, the principle of this invention may be followed by varying only the radii'of the peak walls as disclosed in FIG. 4 to permit telescoping of the peak walls tent is:
to thereby shorten the compressed length of the spring.
The same elements as in FIG. 1 are designated with the same reference numerals only with an a and baffixed thereto for FIGS. 3 and'4, respectively.
The spring of any of the previous embodiment can be further modified by changing either the valley bottom wall or the peak wall, or both, to a curved or generally U-shaped wall without appreciably affecting the functional characteristics of the spring. The open ends of the curved peak or valley bottom merge with a respective side wall of the valley. These modifications are shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, respectively, wherein the same elements as in FIG. 1 are designated with the same reference numerals only with a c affixed thereto for the modification of FIG. 5, with a d affixed thereto for the modification of FIG. 6, and with an .e affixed thereto for the modification of FIG. 7. The curved valley bottom walls are designated by reference numerals 200 and 202 inFIG. 5, the curved peaks are designated by reference numerals 300 and 302 in FIG. 6, the curved peaks are designated by reference numerals 304 and 306 and the curved valleys are desig-. v
nated by reference numerals 308 and3l0 in FIG. 7.

wherein the same elements as shown in F IG; 1 are desv ignated with the same reference numerals only with an f affixed thereto. Each pair of side walls 402 and 404 and 406 and 408 which are connected to a common peak have their concave surfaces facing each other.
