Crib Mattress Springs Support Hooks

I’m trying to identify replacement hardware associated with a vintage crib manufactured in the late 1980s. After long-term storage, several original components were misplaced, and I’m now attempting to determine how these parts are typically referenced in manufacturer documentation or parts listings.

Specifically, I’m looking for information about metal hooks or clips that appear to be associated with the crib’s mattress support frame. These components are not a common shape and do not resemble standard modern crib hardware.

Based on older references I’ve found, these items may be labeled as S15 (or SH15) crib spring support hooks, sometimes described as metal clips or spring frame connectors. They are often referenced as being sold in sets of four, though I have not been able to confirm this through manufacturer documentation.

For reference purposes only, I’ve linked to a general overview page that discusses how these components are typically named and categorized:

For related background on routine surface care and handling considerations once a crib mattress is in use, the crib mattress cleaning information page provides consolidated reference material.

I’ve also attached a photo of the original hardware to help with visual identification only, in case it helps others recognize the part name or documentation category used by manufacturers.

If anyone has information about:

how these parts are typically labeled in manuals or diagrams, or

which manufacturers historically used this style of spring support hook

I’d appreciate any documentation references or manufacturer resources that could help clarify the identification.

For broader context only, I’ve also reviewed general crib replacement hardware listings here:
