An apparatus for assembling innerspring constructions from rows or strings of pocketed coil springs comprises a generally planar support surface with a pressure plate mounted parallel to and above the support surface. The apparatus includes a bonding material applicator for applying bonding material to a first row of pocketed coil springs retained by the pressure plate. A pusher bar assembly is provided for pushing a second row of coil springs into intimate contact with the first row whereupon the two rows become bonded. The pusher bar assembly includes a pusher fixture having two opposed sides, each with differently spaced dividers for receiving rows of springs having differing diameters. The pusher fixture is manually rotatable to employ a desired set of dividers depending on the size of the coils being assembled. The bonding material applicator includes a trigger bar having alternatively readable indicia for synchronizing the application of bonding material depending on the preselected sizes of coils being assembled.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] Apparatus for assembling innerspring constructions from rows of pocketed coil springs, comprising:a generally planar support surface;means for retaining rows of pocketed coil springs on said support surface with said coil springs having longitudinal axes all disposed normal to said surface;means for applying bonding material to a first row of pocketed coil springs retained by said retaining means; andmeans for pushing a second row of pocketed coil springs into contact with said first row of coil springs such that said bonding material bonds said two rows together;said pushing means having a first side with cups defined thereon for receiving pocketed coil springs in which the springs have a first diameter, and having a second side with cups defined thereon for receiving pocketed coil springs in which the springs have a second diameter different from said first diameter.
