Vehicle seating cushion with snap-fit fasteners to interconnect with snap-fit receivers on a structural support

A seating assembly for a vehicle comprising:

• a cushion comprising an outer edge, an occupant facing surface, a carrier facing surface opposite the occupant facing surface, a plurality of snap-fit fasteners disposed at the carrier facing surface, a lip extending away from the occupant facing surface along the outer edge, and a recess into the carrier facing surface adjacent and parallel to the lip;
• and
• a carrier comprising an outer edge surface, a plurality of snap-fit receivers near the outer edge surface of the carrier cooperating with the plurality of snap-fit fasteners to interconnect the cushion and the carrier, and a rib contiguous with the outer edge surface that is seated within the recess of the cushion;
• each of the plurality of snap-fit fasteners comprising a first cantilever, the first cantilever including a catch flange and a receiver facing surface that faces one of the plurality of snap-fit receivers;
• each of the plurality of snap-fit receivers comprising a cantilever deforming surface and a first catch receiving surface, and at least a portion of the plurality of the snap-fit receivers are arranged along the rib;
• and
• the cantilever deforming surface deforms the first cantilever of each of the plurality of snap-fit fasteners while the plurality of snap-fit receivers receives the plurality of snap-fit fasteners until the catch flange snaps over and settles adjacent to the first catch receiving surface of the snap-fit receiver.
