Seat upholstery clip

A clip for securing a cover to a base, the clip comprising:

• a chuck defining a suspender retention cavity, the suspender retention cavity sized and configured to receive a suspender attached to the cover;
• a first leg extending from the chuck and comprising a first barb, the first barb extending outward with respect to a centerline axis of the clip;
• and
• a second leg extending from the chuck and comprising a second barb, the second barb extending outward with respect to the centerline axis of the clip;
• wherein a tip of each of the first barb of the first leg and the second barb of the second leg is angled with respect to a remaining portion of the corresponding barb.

A method comprising:

• inserting a clip for securing an upholstery cover into a hole defined into a base, the clip comprising:
• a chuck defining a suspender retention cavity, the suspender retention cavity sized and configured to receive a suspender attached to the cover;
• a first leg extending from the chuck and comprising a first barb, the first barb extending outward with respect to a centerline axis of the clip;
• and
• a second leg extending from the chuck and comprising a second barb, the second barb extending outward with respect to the centerline axis of the clip;
• wherein a distance in an X-axis direction of the clip between a centerline of the barb of the first leg and a centerline of the barb of the second leg is equal to or less than a thickness of either of the barb of the first leg and the barb of the second leg in the X-axis direction;
• and
• pushing the clip into a hole defined in the base without applying a moment to encourage rotation of the clip about the X-axis direction or a countering moment to prevent rotation of the clip about a Z-axis direction of the clip.
