  • Patent number: 7588290
    Abstract: The invention provides a simple mechanism whereby the material of a seat-cover assembly of the side section of the front of a vehicle seat stretches so as to snugly fit the shape of the seat's seat-pad assembly, thereby covering the seat so that it has a good appearance. A material-puller is arranged, on the boundary of the side section of the seat and the central section of a seat-cover assembly that covers the seat, in such a way that (a) the material-puller's top-end side of an appropriate length is affixed to the boundary between the rear-bottom part of said central section and the rear-bottom part of the side section, (b) the material-puller's bottom end is affixed to the front of a piece of cloth at the back-face bottom end of the main-part seat-cover assembly in the last step of sewing the cover on the seat, and (c) the seat-cover assembly is attached to the seat by pulling the bottom end of the seat-cover assembly in the backside direction.
