Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a seat by using adhesives in which an air permeable skin material and a cushioning pad are bonded to each other by means of reactive hot-melt adhesives, the method comprises a step of coating adhesives to the cushioning pad, a step of provisionally assembling the skin material to the cushioning pad from the side of the adhesive coating surface, a step of setting the provisionally assembled cushioning pad and skin material to an attaching die, a step of applying heating by a heating die to the skin material and the cushioning pad attached in the attaching die assembling step from the side of the skin material and a step of applying cooling under pressure by a cooling die from the surface of the skin material subsequent to the heating step. A seat comprising a skin material and a cushioning pad can be molded with a seat frame by this method.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a seat comprising a skin material, a cushioning pad and a seat frame by bonding the skin material and the cushioning pad to each other by using a reactive hot melt adhesive, wherein the method comprises a step of coating an adhesive to the cushioning pad, a step of assembling the seat frame to an attaching die in which a movable press bonding plate is disposed, a step of attaching a cushioning pad to the seat frame assembled to the attaching die, provisionally assembling the skin material to the surface of the cushioning pad on the side of coating the adhesive and then moving the press bonding plate thereby arranging the seat frame, the cushioning pad and the skin material on an attaching die main body, a step of applying heating by a heating die from the side of the skin material attached in the assembling step and a cooling/press bonding step of applying cooling under pressure after the heating step by a cooling die from the surface of the skin materi

Abstract: A method of forming trim cover being one of elements constituting a seat which is used for furniture or as an automobile seat, comprises feeding an assembly of a sheet of covering material and wadding material, with the covering sheet side of the assembly turned upward, onto support means for receiving and supporting the assembly thereon. The support means has at least one hole of a desired predetermined shape. A portion of the assembly substantially positionally corresponding to at least one hole is pressed downwardly to cause a portion of the wadding material of the assembly positionally corresponding to the hole of the support means to be protruded downwardly from the support means through the hole of the support means. The protruded portion of the wading material of the assembly is cut, while the same portion of the assembly is still pressed downwardly. The assembly is advanced to a backing sheet laminating station.
