Abstract
A device for mounting any type of seat covers (10) on foam cushion parts (12) of a seat, more particularly a vehicle seat, uses gripping elements (14) which form actuation groups (16, 18, 20, 22, 24) receiving the profiled strips (26, 28, 30, 32, 34) arranged on the seat cover (10). The gripping elements pull the profiled strips (16, 18, 20, 22, 24) into channel-like recesses (44, 46, 48, 50, 52) in the foam cushion part (12) by a positioning device (42). The positioning device allows a relative movement between the foam cushion part (12) and the corresponding gripping element (14) to fix the seat cover (10) to the foam cushion part (12).
Claims9
A device for mounting a seat cover on a foam cushion component of a seat component, comprising:
- gripping elements arranged in actuation groups for receiving section strips mounted on a seat cover;
- a positioning mechanism having a support component for receiving a foam cushion component and being relatively movable relative to said gripping elements for moving the foam cushion part relative to said gripping elements and into channel shaped recesses in the foam cushion part to fasten the seat cover on the foam cushion part, said support component being movable between a lowered position in which said gripping elements extend through said support component and a raised position in which said support component is free of said gripping elements;
- and
- first and second linear drives coupled to and moving said support component into positions thereof, said second linear drive coupled to said first linear drive such that movement of said second linear drive is superimposed on movement of said first linear drive.
