A clip holding unit to be used during a foam molding of a seat pad, the seat pad including a clip used for attaching a seat cover to the seat pad, the clip holding unit being provided in a lower mold of a molding mold and holding the clip during the foam molding, the clip holding unit comprising:
- a locking portion to be sandwiched between a pair of locking pieces of the clip;
- a base portion extending from the lower mold to the locking portion;
- and
- an eaves portion projecting laterally from the base portion, the eaves portion projecting further in a lateral direction as it progresses upward from the base portion, covering a front end of the locking piece,
- wherein a height of the locking portion from an upper surface of the base portion is higher than a height of the eaves portion from the upper surface of the base portion,
- wherein the locking portion includes a recessed portion that is configured to receive the locking piece and is recessed laterally, and includes a retaining portion that retains the locking piece and bulges laterally, and a height of the recessed portion from the upper surface of the base portion is lower than a height of the eaves portion from the upper surface of the base portion, and
- wherein heights from the upper surface of the base portion are in the order of the locking portion>the eaves portion>the recessed portion.
A clip holding unit to be used during a foam molding of a seat pad, the seat pad including a clip used for attaching a seat cover to the seat pad, the clip holding unit being provided in a lower mold of a molding mold and holding the clip during the foam molding, the clip holding unit comprising:
