This invention is an Automotive Center Console Armrest Storage Box Lid Protector that is an alternative for replacing the factory installed center console/storage box armrest lid when damaged or to be used to for driving comfort as creates a barrier between the factory installed lid and the under forearm of the driver or passengers forearm. It is designed to be installed over the factory installed lid and is held in place with an elastic band or drawstring sewed on the underside of the fitted fabric piece to keep the fabric protector from slipping. It can be made with or without an added sleeve pocket sewed to the top side as in the sketches. Drivers and passengers that rest their forearm on the center console while driving can have added comfort with this protective cover and also can be used as an alternative to replacing the factory installed hard cover after being damaged from use stains and UV rays. It is installed by opening the lid inserting the protective cover by hand over the factory installed lid.

To produce a product from a fibrous non-woven which is formed from cross-linked fibers, at least one ambient condition of the fibrous non-woven is controlled during a recrystallization of a material comprised by the fibrous non-woven

An automotive armrest includes an elastic core defining a patterned array of channels extending therethrough such that the elastic core exhibits a predetermined target vertical stiffness and a predetermined target lateral stiffness different than the predetermined target vertical stiffness. The automotive armrest also includes a skin arranged with the elastic core.

A cushion assembly has first and second foam layers that are fixedly connected to each other so as to be contiguous. The cushion assembly also includes a fire-retardant covering and finds particular use as the seat base of a vehicle seat, especially an aircraft seat.

A seat trim cover having a 3-dimensional shape for an automotive vehicle seat is formed by pre-cutting a laminate blank into a predefined shape having a predefined selvage extending around an outer periphery of the laminate blank, vacuum forming the laminate blank in a 3-dimensional mold to form a 3-dimensional laminate blank, and forming a molded foam backing on the 3-dimensional shaped laminate blank to form the seat trim cover. The molded foam backing has an outer perimeter that is spaced apart from the predefined selvage such that the predefined selvage is free of foam.

An in-mold foamed molded product unit may include an in-mold foamed molded product made of a thermoplastic resin, and an insert material. At least a portion of the insert material may be embedded in the in-mold foamed molded product. The insert material may have a frame-like shape that is substantially rectangular shape and includes a first set of opposite sides and a second set of opposite sides. A portion of the insert material that corresponds to the first set of opposite sides may be a first extending portion, and a portion of the insert material that corresponds to the second set of opposite sides may be a second extending portion. The first extending portion may be substantially entirely embedded in the in-mold foamed molded product, and the second extending portion may include an exposed portion that is exposed to the outside of the in-mold foamed molded product.

A vehicle component, in particular an arm rest, includes a structural part and a cladding element that at least partially surrounds the structural part. The structural part is at least partially covered by a protective device.

According to one or more embodiments, a vehicle seat assembly includes a cushion and a leather trim cover assembly disposed over the cushion. The leather trim cover assembly includes a leather upper layer and a foundation layer secured to the leather upper layer at radio-frequency weld points. The radio-frequency weld points define at least one design boundary adjacent a raised portion of a protruding design in the leather trim cover assembly.

The vehicle seat is structured by covering the pad surface with the surface layer provided with the beading, which prevents the beading formed on the vehicle seat from being rubbed and worn out by clothing of the occupant who is getting on or off the vehicle under pressure applied by the thigh or the back of the occupant, and further prevents dislocation of the beading on the seat under pulling force applied by the thigh of the occupant who is getting on or off the vehicle. The pad has a groove in which the beading is embedded. The beading is embedded in the groove famed in the pad, and the surface layer for enclosing the beading core of the beading is bonded and fixed to the bottom surface of the groove.

A cushion member 301 is a cushion member made of flexible resin or rubber and used for a passenger seat 300, and includes a porous structural body 1, and a top skin 330 serving as at least a surface FS on a seated person side among surfaces of the passenger seat and integrated with the porous structural body.
