MODULAR AIRCRAFT SEATBACK COVER ATTACHMENT SYSTEM
A modular seatback cover attachment system is disclosed. The modular seatback cover attachment system may include one or more trim caps including one or more tabs configured to reversibly couple the one or more trim caps to one or more portions of a seatback frame. The one or more tabs may include at least one of one or more hook tabs or one or more panel tabs. The modular seatback cover attachment system may include an interlocking assembly configured to interlock the one or more trim caps when the one or more trim caps are coupled to the seatback frame. The modular seatback cover attachment system may include a fastening assembly configured to couple the one or more trim caps to a portion of the dress cover.
TRIM RETENTION MEMBER
A trim cover assembly includes a trim cover disposable over a cushion having a release handle bezel assembly, the trim cover has an A-side and a B-side, opposite the A-side, facing an external surface of the cushion. The trim cover defines a cover opening that, when disposed over the cushion, generally corresponds to a release handle of the release handle bezel assembly. The trim cover assembly also includes a trim retainer on the B-side of the trim cover having an outer periphery and an inner periphery defining a retainer opening generally corresponding to at least a portion of the cover opening. The trim retainer is configured to engage a housing of the release handle bezel assembly such that the trim cover assembly can be secured to the housing and between the housing and a bezel of the release handle bezel assembly.

LENGTHWISE FASTENER
A flexible lengthwise fastener is provided with a first retainer provided with a lengthwise substrate. The lengthwise fastener is also provided with a second retainer provided with a lengthwise substrate to engage with the lengthwise substrate of the first retainer. When the first retainer and the second retainer are combined, the first retainer and the second retainer provide the appearance of a traditional seam.
VEHICLE SEAT
A vehicle seat includes a seat pad configured to support an occupant and having a through-hole extending through the seat pad in a direction from an occupant sitting side toward a side opposite to the occupant sitting side; and a frame member attached to an opening end of the through-hole on the occupant sitting side, the frame member having an opening configured such that a fixation connecting portion of a child safety seat is inserted into the opening. The frame member is provided with an attaching portion attached to the seat pad. The seat pad includes an attachment pad portion provided integrally with an attachment member including an attachment portion to which the attaching portion of the frame member is attached, the attachment pad portion constituting a part of an inner wall surface of the through-hole. The attaching portion is fixed to the attachment portion with a fixing member.
Seat backrest for a motor vehicle
A seat backrest for a motor vehicle has a structure, which supports a padding covered by a cover; the structure has a rear plate provided with a coupling portion, to which an end of the cover is fixed along a peripheral edge of the plate itself; the plate is fixed to a front frame by means of a snap-on connecting device having a plurality of deformable appendages, which are carried by the plate in positions that are spaced apart from one another; the appendages are part of respective brackets, which are fixed to the plate and have respective stiffening portions, which are arranged at the coupling portion.
Seat
A seat capable of suppressing wrinkles around an opening of a curved-surface-portion of a skin. The seat comprises: a skin in which a curved opening is formed in the curved-surface-portion; an elastically deformable plate-shaped reinforcing-member that reinforces a peripheral portion of the opening, the reinforcing-member being disposed in a curved state along an inner surface of the curved-surface-portion; and a pressing-member that covers the peripheral portion of the opening in a state where the pressing-member presses the peripheral portion of the opening from an outer surface of the curved-surface-portion. The reinforcing-member has a main-body-portion overlapping with the pressing-ember, and extending-portions respectively extending from side edges of the main-body-portion to a range not overlapping with the pressing-member. A slit is formed in each of the extending-portions. The slits extend in a direction that a portion disposed outside in the width direction of the extending-portion is elastically deformable independently from the main-body-portion.
Mounting member and airbag module-equipped seat
An easy-to-attach clip member that makes the surroundings of a stay cloth mounting portion compact while maintaining high airbag deployment performance, and an airbag module-equipped seat with the clip member are provided. A clip member is connected to a cloth-form body that transmits a tensile force. The clip member includes a connecting portion connected to one end of the cloth-form body, and a groove engaged with an edge portion of a mounted portion. The clip member is provided to reduce a torque generated at the connecting portion by the tensile force transmitted from the cloth-form body when engaged with the edge portion of the mounted portion, and connects the cloth-form body to the mounted portion.
Securing covers over foam cushions
A covered foam cushion (10), such as for an automotive seat, has a foam bun (12) with a contoured outer surface defining an elongated trench (16) between opposing side walls (18, 20). A retainer (28, 28a) is permanently secured to the foam bun and recessed within the trench between the side walls. A cover (14) extends over at least a portion of the foam bun and is held in place by a clip (26, 26a) permanently secured to a distal edge of a flange (24) of the cover within the trench of the foam bun. The clip is fastened to the retainer and has lateral protrusions (30, 30a) that bear against the opposing side walls of the trench.
Motor vehicle seat, motor vehicle equipped therewith and method for adjusting a cover tension of the motor vehicle seat
To improve comfort, a motor vehicle seat has at least one cushion body, at least one cover concealing the cushion body at least in part, and at least one tensioner, which is operatively connected to the cover by a first end and is designed to adjust the cover tension. The tensioner is fixed by a second end to a clamping device. The clamping device is designed to modify and fix the distance of the tensioner from the first end thereof to the second end thereof and the clamping device is designed to be operated after completion of the motor vehicle seat.
