Abstract

A body-supporting device includes a tray, a net and a frame. The tray includes a margin and a groove in the margin. The groove gets narrower downwardly. The net includes a margin. The frame includes a first rib for inserting the margin of the net into the groove of the tray and a second rib for pressing the margin of the net against the margin of the tray. The first rib gets narrower downwardly. Fasteners are driven into the first rib of the frame through the margin of the tray. The sandwiching of the margin of the net between the first rib of the frame and the margin of the tray gets firmer as the fasteners get tighter in the first rib of the frame.

Claims (9)

1. A body-supporting device comprising:

a tray comprising a margin and a groove in the margin, wherein the groove gets narrower downwardly;

a net comprising a margin;

a frame comprising a first rib for inserting the margin of the net into the groove of the tray so that the margin of the net is sandwiched between the first rib and the groove, and a second rib for pressing the margin of the net against the margin of the tray so that the margin of the net is sandwiched between the second rib and the groove, wherein the first rib gets narrower downwardly; and

a plurality of fasteners driven into the first rib of the frame through the margin of the tray so that sandwiching of the margin of the net between the first rib of the frame and the margin of the tray gets firmer as the fasteners get tighter in the first rib of the frame.

2. The body-supporting device according to claim 1 wherein the tray defines apertures in communication with the groove, and the frame defines screw holes for receiving the fasteners through the apertures.

3. The body-supporting device according to claim 1 wherein the body-supporting device is a seat.
