A body for use in upholstering and comprising in combination: a layer of resilient material forming the outer part of the body, and core means supportingly engaging the inner side of said layer, said core means comprising at least one sheet exclusively of continuous synthetic material, said sheet including means for anchoring the sheet to the frame of an article of furniture, said sheet being resiliently yieldable in the direction in which a load is normally imposed thereon and being resistant to yielding also in other directions.
- 2. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said sheet when viewed in the direction of a normally applied load is substantially rectangular.
- 3. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said sheet contains reinforcing fibers.
- 4. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said sheet is reinforced by glass fibers.
- 5. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said sheet has opposite edge regions turned toward each other over respective arcs and on the same side of said sheet, each edge region extending the full width of said sheet, said edge regions comprising said means for anchoring said sheet to a frame.
- 6. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said means for anchoring said sheet to a frame is disposed along one edge of the sheet.
- 7. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said sheet is substantially planar.
- 8. A body in combination according to claim 7 in which said sheet comprises flange means at one end extending therefrom substantially in the plane of said sheet and comprising the means for anchoring said sheet to a frame.
- 9. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said body is adapted for use as the back of a furniture article and said sheet is formed as a closed hollow body.
- 10. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said body is adapted for use as the seat and back of an article of furniture and said sheet is formed to an angular contour so as to extend substantially horizontally along the seat and then upwardly along the back of the body.
- 11. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said sheet has at least one edge extending transversely to the plane of movement of the sheet when loaded and comprising the means to anchor the sheet to a frame.
- 12. A body in combination according to claim 11 in which said sheet is in the form of a hollow body.
- 13. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said sheet increases in thickness toward said means for anchoring the sheet to a frame.
- 14. A body in combination according to claim 13 in which said sheet is laminated in at least the region of said anchoring means.
- 15. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said sheet has at least one edge region formed to an arc of substantial size, said region being laminated and increasing in thickness toward the margin thereof.
- 16. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said sheet has thickened edge regions curved so the margins oppose each other, said edge regions near the margins thereof comprising the means to anchor said sheet to a frame, said sheet when anchored to a frame placing the thinner intermediate region thereof under tension.
- 17. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said sheet includes rib means extending longitudinally thereof in at least the region of the sheet to which a load is applied.
- 18. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said layer of resilient material is a foamed material.
- 19. A body in combination according to claim 1 in which said synthetic material is polyester resin.
