The seating spring assembly includes a series of elongate sinuous spring wires with each of the wires touching each of the adjacent spring wires at frequent intervals along their length. Frangible welds, in the form of spot welding, are provided at spaced apart touching locations along the lengths of the wires to temporarily secure the adjacent spring wires together. A sleevelike plastic coating surrounds the wires and the frangible welds are broken when the seat is occupied by a person so that the plastic coating then constitutes the sole element holding the spring wires together and the full flexibility and comfort of the seating spring assembly is retained.

A seating spring assembly comprising (A) a series of elongate sinuous spring wires, each of said spring wires touching each of its adjacent spring wires at frequent intervals along their lengths, (B) frangible weld means provided at substantially the middle and at spaced apart additional touching locations intermediate opposite ends of adjacent spring wires, said frangible weld means temporarily securing together the touching locations of adjacent spring wires, and (C) a sleevelike plastic coating surrounding said spring wires and said frangible weld means, said plastic coating following the sinuosity of said spring wires and joining said spring wires together where said spring wires touch so that said spring wires, said frangible weld means, and said plastic coating comprise a unitary assembly, and whereby said frangible weld means is broken when said spring assembly is occupied by a person so that said plastic coating then constitutes the sole means holding said spring wires of said assembly together and the full flexibility and comfort of said seating spring assembly is retained.
