SEAT

Provided is a seat enabling reduction of a burden in skin assembling work and improvement of appearance quality of the seat. A seat includes linear members extending along a longitudinal direction of hanging portions of a skin and provided at the hanging portion, and elastically deformable tubular members provided inside grooves of a pad so as to extend along the groove. A slit is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the tubular member, the slit extending in a longitudinal direction of the tubular member, having a width narrower than an outer diameter of the linear member, and enabling the width to be expanded by elastic deformation of the tubular member.

Sofa with upholstery cover having attachment means

An upholstered sofa comprises a sofa frame covered with fitted upholstery. The fitted upholstery provided by a form fit upholstery cover or covers formed of upholstery material and comprising stitched upholstery panels and pieces, the cover having upholstery edge portions with attachment means for securement of the edge portion without staples to the sofa frame. The attachment means may be a resilient polymer channel sewn to the upholstery material. The attachment means may be a plurality of elastic cords with connectors on distal ends of the cords. The elastic cords may be stretched and attached to features on the sofa frame or to features on the upholstery cover thereby keeping the upholstery cover assembly taught on the sofa frame.

The disclosure relates to a sofa armrest. The sofa armrest includes a main body made by blow molding, the upper end of the inner side surface of the main body is recessed inward to form a fabric mounting groove for mounting armrest fabric, and the lower end of the inner side surface of the main body is provided with clamping-connection grooves for being connected with connectors of a sofa underframe. The sofa armrest is made by a blow molding process, and compared with traditional solid sofa armrests, the sofa armrest has the advantages of low weight, high production speed and less manufacturing materials; when the armrest fabric is squeezed and deformed, debris accumulates on the lower wall of the fabric mounting groove or on a seat cover fabric, cleaning of dust and debris is facilitated, and the overall hygiene of a sofa is maintained.
