A spring attachment clip for the fastening of springs to furniture frames, the clip carrying its own means for being secured to the frame and having in addition means for reducing or eliminating audible noise as ordinarily caused by the action of the spring working against the clip. The clip configuration is adapted to permit its multiple formation in long strips intended to be fed into an automatic device which separates the individual clips from the strips and secures them to the frame. Additionally, the U-shaped edges of the spring engaging end of the clips are bevelled outward to strengthen the clip rendering it unnecessary to close the clip to prevent its opening under spring tension.

A clip for securing to a furniture frame member or support one end of a spring comprising: a first portion to be disposed across the edge of a frame member in engagement therewith, a second portion at substantially right angles to said first portion adapted for engaging the outer face of the frame member; the free end of said second portion extending inwardly under said first portion and formed to provide at least one pointed leg member to be driven into the frame member for receiving the clip thereon, the free end of said first portion being reversely bent to extend thereover to form a narrow slot having an opening outwardly of the frame member when secured to the frame member for receiving one end of a spring, whereby spring tension when applied to the clip will be in the direction in which said leg is driven into the frame member, the edges of the reversely bent part of the free end of said first portion being bevelled outwardly to each provide a ridge to protect the end of the spring lying in said slot from abrasive wear to reduce noise of its movement over said edges and to strengthen said reversely bent part, and a liner covering at least a part of the inside surface of said slot serving as an interface between the clip and the spring.
