Vehicle Seat Cover Attachment Tool Nested Hook Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional seat covers for vehicles require detaching the original cover engaging tool from the seat frame, making the attachment process laborious and time-consuming, especially in confined spaces.
Innovation Solution
A seat cover design that allows attachment by hooking a cover attaching tool onto the original cover engaging tool already secured to the frame, eliminating the need to detach the original tool, with a hook-like structure and adjustable protrusions for secure engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the original cover engaging tool is strongly secured to the frame to prevent disengagement, then the reliability of the original cover attachment is improved, but the ease of operation for attaching a new seat cover deteriorates because the tool must be detached and reinstalled
Solution Approach 1:
The cover attaching tool is designed to be hooked onto the existing original cover engaging tool, creating a nested configuration where the new tool utilizes the structural support of the original tool. This allows the cover attaching tool to be securely positioned on the frame without requiring removal of the original tool, thereby maintaining attachment security while simplifying the attachment process.
2Ease of operation
If the cover attaching tool is designed with a hook-like structure to engage with the frame, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional structural requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The cover attaching tool is designed with a universal hook-like structure that can engage with the original cover engaging tool, which itself is already secured to the frame. This multi-functional design allows the same hook structure to serve both as the attachment mechanism for the seat cover and as the interface with the existing frame mounting system, thereby improving ease of operation without significantly increasing device complexity.

AI summary
Provided is a seat cover attachable to a seat section of a vehicle seat in the state of covering an original cover with no need to detach an original cover engaging tool from an engageable portion of the seat section. A seat cover 1 is attachable to a seat section 200 of a vehicle seat 100, including a frame 501 and an original cover 301, in the state of covering the original cover 301, which is attached in the state where a hook-like original cover engaging tool 320 including a first side portion 340 and a second side portion 350 facing each other is hooked on an engageable portion 520 of the frame 501. The seat cover 1 includes a cover main body 10 for covering the seat section 200; and a cover attaching tool 20 provided along a bottom end 12 of the cover main body 10. The cover attaching tool 20 includes a first side portion 40 and a second side portion 50 facing each other and is hook-like. The cover attaching tool 20 is allowed to be hooked on the original cover engaging tool 320 hooked on the engageable portion 520.
