Fittings for a box spring

Abstract

The present invention relates to fittings and an interior conduit to providing a continuous air flow path from a vertical wall of the box spring to a horizontal surface of the box spring to selectively supply to an inflatable volume integrated into a top surface of the box spring. Fittings are provided on a vertical wall for connection to an external source of air. Another set of fittings are provided on a top surface of the box spring for connection to an inflatable bladder, A conduit inside the box spring is connected to an interior nozzle on each of the fittings to provide a continuous flow path from the fittings on the vertical to the fittings on the horizontal surface. The side wall fittings allow an external source of air to be supported or alternatively provide a stable connection for a conduit. With such a configuration, a mattress being supported by a box spring can be maneuvered under the influence of the inflatable bladder without affecting the external source of air.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An improvement of a box spring comprising:
 a stiffener plate rigidly connected to a frame of a box spring parallel with a vertical side wall of the box spring   
       a vertical wall fitting carried by said stiffener plate;
 a top surface fitting attached to a top of said box spring; wherein each of said fittings include a nozzle; and 
 a conduit connected between said nozzles
