Abstract
A seat assembly is provided with a frame, and a trim assembly oriented about the frame to conceal the frame. The trim assembly is provided with a first trim panel, a second trim panel, and a structurally reinforced seam with piping along an intersection of the first trim panel and the second trim panel. Ornamental stitching is provided along an exterior length of the structurally reinforced seam and incrementally traverses the structurally reinforced seam to interconnect the first trim panel and the second trim panel along the structurally reinforced seam, and to provide an ornamental stitching appearance to the structurally reinforced seam.
Claims18
A trim assembly comprising:
- a first trim panel;
- a second trim panel;
- a structurally reinforced seam along an intersection of the first trim panel and the second trim panel;
- and
- ornamental stitching provided along an exterior length of the structurally reinforced seam and incrementally traversing the structurally reinforced seam to interconnect the first trim panel and the second trim panel along the structurally reinforced seam and to provide an ornamental stitching appearance to the structurally reinforced seam.
A seat trim assembly comprising:
- a first trim panel;
- a second trim panel;
- piping with an externally exposed longitudinal body, and a flange extending along a length of the longitudinal body, the flange having a thickness less than a cross-section of the longitudinal body, the flange extending along a structurally reinforced seam at an intersection of the first trim panel and the second trim panel;
- ornamental stitching provided along an exterior length of the structurally reinforced seam and incrementally traversing the longitudinal body and the structurally reinforced seam to interconnect the first trim panel, the second trim panel and the flange of the piping, and to provide an ornamental stitching appearance to the longitudinal body;
- and
- inner stitching provided on an internal side of the seat trim assembly to interconnect with and provide support to the ornamental stitching.
A seat trim assembly comprising:
- a first trim panel;
- a second trim panel;
- a piping with a longitudinal body extending along a structurally reinforced seam at an intersection of the first trim panel and the second trim panel so that a trim panel portion encloses the longitudinal body externally to provide an additional thickness to the structurally reinforced seam;
- ornamental stitching provided along an exterior length of the structurally reinforced seam and incrementally traversing the longitudinal body and the structurally reinforced seam to interconnect the first trim panel and the second trim panel, and to provide an ornamental stitching appearance to the longitudinal body;
- and
- inner stitching provided on an internal side of the seat trim assembly to interconnect with and provide support to the ornamental stitching.
