Estimating the term…
The invention relates to covers (11) for seats (10) used in transport vehicles, especially motor vehicles. Said covers (11) are manually finished whereby they are smoothed at least steam with the aid of steam. Said manual finishing treatment is not only expensive but also leads to much fluctuation in terms of quality. According to the invention, the covers (11) of the seats (10) are automatically finished as the manufactured seats (10) are transported by a conveyor (14) through at least one treating chamber (116, 17) of a tunnel finisher. All of the seats (10) are treated in the treating chamber (16, 17) at least with steam which smoothes the covers (11) thereof. The inventive finishing treatment results in an even smoothness of said covers (11), even in areas which are difficult to reach manually.
A method of treating seat covers for vehicles, the covers being treated with steam, in particular, and smoothed as a result, characterized in that the seats (10) with covers (11) drawn onto their frame (31) are treated in at least one treatment chamber (16, 17) by using at least steam.
A device for treating seat covers for vehicles, including at least one treatment chamber (16, 17), to which steam and/or air can be supplied, and a conveyor (14) and intended for the seats (10) to be treated running through the at least one treatment chamber (16, 17).
