Embodiment Construction
[0101] First refer to Figure 1AAn enclosed foam pad 10a includes a foam block 12a and an outer cover 14 extending over the molded outer surface of the foam block. The surface of the block features an elongated groove 16 where the housing 14 is held in place by a retainer 18a. In this example, the retainer 18a is a wire embedded under the groove 16 within the body of the foam block 12a. The trench 16 is defined by two opposing side walls 20 and a bottom 22 spanning the distance between the two side walls. In this example, the opposing trench sidewalls are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the trench bottom. However, other groove geometries are also conceivable and compatible with the concepts discussed here. The groove is positioned relative to the block profile such that holding the cover tightly against the block at the channel helps to hold the cover tightly against the remainder of the profile of the foam block. In this example, foam padding is designed for us...

Abstract
A seat trim cover (14, 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e, 14f, 14g, 14h) includes a flexible spoke (28) and a plurality of molded clips ((26, 26a, 26b, 26d, 26f, 26g, 26h, 26j), the clips are spaced at predetermined intervals along the distal edge (34) of the spoke (28). Each clip (26, 26a, 26b, 26d, 26f, 26g, 26h, 26j) comprising a base (32a, 32b, 32c, 32d, 62) attached to said spoke (28) and extending from said base (32a, 32b, 32c, 32d, 62) to said spoke (28) One or more latching elements (30, 30a, 30b, 30, 30", 58) at a point beyond the distal edge (34) of the clip. Each clip (26, 26a, 26b, 26d, 26f, 26g , 26h, 26j) of the latch elements (30, 30a, 30b, 30, 30", 58) are configured to clasp the pad retainers (18a, 18b) when forced into engagement with the pad retainers device (18a, 18b).
Description
technical field [0001] This instruction generally relates to securing a seat trim cover to a foam pad. Background technique [0002] Seats for cars and light trucks have been formed by injection molding a foam block, which acts as the seat pad, and then attaching a pre-stitched fabric cover to the foam block. Typically, when the fabric cover is to be held securely to the foam block along the block contour, discrete fasteners, such as hog rings, are employed to connect the fabric flange extending from the inside surface of the cover to the wire. On the retainer, the wire retainer is embedded at the bottom of a corresponding groove in the surface of the foam block. Tension within the hood flange holds the hood against the block in profile. Other fastening methods involve fastening a clip secured in a groove to a bead along the edge of the flange. [0003] Some fastening methods are labor intensive and can require significant manual dexterity. Some starter tools also requir...
