Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02074134A1] The invention relates to a tape combination which, for the purpose of receiving the ends of slats, comprises a row of pouches that are open at least towards one side of the tape combination. The inventive tape composition is produced as a combination of two essentially flat superimposed tape elements (3 and 4) that are suitably interlinked. The first tape element (3) consists of a shrinkable material (for example cotton) and the second tape element (4) consists of a non-shrinkable or less shrinkable material (for example nylon or pre-shrunk cotton). The tape combination is then subjected to shrinking, thereby forming pouches that are no longer flat but have a shrunk pouch bottom and a pouch section that arches across said bottom. The tape combination is easy to produce and has a constant length irrespective of whether the slat ends are inserted in the pouches or not. It can be simply sewn onto a slat apron or a mattress cover with its shrunk section lying flat thereon.
