Abstract

An improved support web, particularly for use in the construction of furniture, comprises a band, which may be made of plastic material having spaced, parallel, longitudinal reinforcing threads such as glass fibers embedded therein and a connecting member of plastic material at least one end of the band of which is formed in one piece about the band end by a molding or casting process to surround, on all sides, a folded end of the band having its layers secured together, there being holes passing through the folded end of the band which become filled with material of the connecting member. The connecting member has a strong connection with the band and may be nailed or stapled to the frame of a piece of furniture to connect the support web to the frame. Alternatively, the connecting member may be provided with a hook formation or with a molded-in hook or hooks for connecting it to a frame.
