An upholstery piping component for a vehicle seat includes an elongated anchor and an elongated projection. The elongated anchor is formed from an elastomeric material. The elongated anchor extends along a length. The elongated anchor is configured to be coupled to a first upholstery portion and a second upholstery portion and disposed between the first upholstery portion and the second upholstery portion. The elongated projection is formed from the elastomeric material. The elongated projection is integrally is formed with the elongated anchor. The elongated projection extends from the elongated anchor for at least a portion of the length. The elongated projection is configured to at least partially conceal a seam between the first upholstery portion and the second upholstery portion. The elastomeric material is flexible such that the upholstery piping component is configured to move between a neutral configuration and a modified configuration.

A thermally conductive padding 20 for transferring heat comprising a layer of cellular foam padding 10 having a plurality of spaced apart openings 22 formed therein. A thermal tunneling pad 24 is seated in each of the openings for creating a thermal path through the thermally conductive padding wherein the thermal tunneling pad includes a cellular foam block 12 encased in strip of thermally conductive graphite ribbon 26.

A structure of wadded-up seat trim cover, having a plurality of trim cover pieces sewn together at one end, each composed of a wadding member and a skin member, includes a bonded portion formed by bonding the skin member to the wadding member made shorter than the skin member, at a position remote, by a prescribed distance, from the end of the wadding member overlapping the skin member; a first sewn portion formed by bending that portion of the skin member, not overlapping the wadding member, along the end of the wadding member and then by sewing the portions of the adjacent skin members together; and second sewn portions formed by bending each end of the adjacent skin member to the back of the trim cover piece at the first sewn portion and then by sewing the adjacent skin members together at overlapping portions.

The invention concerns a cushion or cushioning comprising, a cover an outer covering layer, a middle foam layer and an inner mesh layer. The cushion also includes an electric circuit connected to an electric generator, the circuit being made from conductive ink deposited on a support layer. The circuit extends opposite the complex; a block of elastically compressible padding, the support layer being formed either by the inner layer, or by an additional mesh layer interposed between the inner layer and the block.

Provided are a cleaning method and cleaning device for cleaning with micro/nano-bubbles, with which a simple method of spraying a treatment solution containing micro/nano-bubbles onto a substrate to be processed makes it possible to efficiently and reliably peel off residual resist or remove contaminants from the substrate, while reducing an environmental load. This cleaning method is characterized in that, with respect to a substrate to be treated to which a resist film has adhered onto the substrate or a substrate to be treated to which the surface thereof has been contaminated with a metal or metal compounds, the resist film is peeled off or the metals or metal compounds are removed by spraying onto the substrate to be treated a treatment solution containing gaseous micro/nano-bubbles and having a temperature maintained at 30 C. to 90 C., the mean particle size of the micro/nano-bubbles when measured by an ice embedding method using a cryo-transmission electron microscope being 100 nm or smaller, preferably 30 nm or smaller, and also preferably the density of such bubbles being 10.sup.8 or more bubbles per 1 mL.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat for a vehicle having a backrest part and a seat part, each having an inner portion and side bolster portions arranged laterally on both sides of the inner portion, the inner portions and the side bolster portions each having a cushion part and an upholstery part at least partially surrounding the cushion part, an abrasion-resistant coating that has a higher hardness and/or stiffness than the at least one upholstery part being at least in part arranged on at least one of the upholstery parts.

A seat cover (5) of a vehicle seat (1) includes: a welt seam part (17) in which seam allowances (15 and 16) of sewn skin materials (10 and 11) are split to right and left sides to be folded on the skin materials (10 and 11), and are sewn on the skin materials (10 and 11) by stitches (13 and 14) which are formed in the skin materials (10 and 11) along a seam (12) where the skin materials (10 and 11) are sewn; and a hook-and-loop fastener (18) provided in the welt seam part (17). The seam allowances (15 and 16) include edge portions (21 and 22) arranged outside the stitches (13 and 14). The hook-and-loop fastener (18) is fixed in the edge portions (21 and 22).

A control system for controlling operation of a vehicle system is described. The control system includes a trim cover textile configured to cover at least a portion of a vehicle component and having an electrically conductive element configured to provide a capacitive touch functionality. In response to a user touch, the electrically conductive clement generates a signal representative of a user command for the vehicle system. The system also includes a control unit adapted to be provided in electrical communication with the electrically conductive element of the trim cover. The control unit is configured to receive the user command signal and, in response, generate a control signal to effectuate control of the vehicle system.

A cushion cover (100), in particular for a vehicle seat (1), includes a surface layer (102) and at least one embossing (120) in the surface layer (102). A cavity (122) on the rear face of the at least one embossing (120) is at least partly filled with an insert (106). A method for producing a cushion cover (100), in particular for a vehicle seat (1), is also provided, including producing a surface layer (102) and at least one embossing (120). The surface layer (102) is provided with the at least one embossing (120) in a tool (10), and a rear face of the at least one embossing (120) is at least partly filled with an insert (106) in an additional method step.
