  • Patent number: 11220195
    Abstract: An edge strip for a seat cover may have an edge strip core, which is surrounded by a casing, and an edge strip tab. The edge strip core and the casing are sewn together such that an ornamental seam is formed on the outer circumference of the casing. A device for producing an edge strip is also disclosed. The device may have a supply unit for supplying an edge strip core and an unfolded material strip for a casing of the edge strip core to an additional processing unit, such as a sewing machine. The supply unit is designed to supply the edge strip core to the additional processing unit, such as a sewing machine, on a material strip surface side which forms the inner face of the casing, and the sewing machine sews the edge strip core to the material strip.

  • Patent number: 11192478
    Abstract: A device for producing an edge strip may have a supply unit with at least two openings for separately supplying an edge strip core and a material strip of a casing for the edge strip core. The material strip may be provided with a decorative element, an adapter unit, and a processing unit. The supply unit arranges the edge strip core on a surface side of the material strip which forms the inner face of the casing, and the adapter unit is designed to fold the material strip around the edge strip core. Free ends of the casing protrude from the edge strip core and lie one over the other, and the processing unit connects the free ends lying one over the other together. A method for producing an edge strip using such a device and to a seat cover with an edge strip is also included.

  • Publication number: 20170240083
    Abstract: A method produces a seat cover (2), which seat cover includes at least one body contact surface (7, 9) and seat cushion side surfaces (8.1, 8.2, 10.1, 10.2) which are adjacent thereto. A receiving element (4) is arranged in the region of the blank part (3.1, 3.2) on a raw material (1) prior to cutting a blank part (3.1, 3.2) for the seat cover (2), and is secured. The at least on body contact surface (7, 9) and the adjacent seat cushion side surfaces (8.1, 8.2, 10.1, 10.2) are cut from a raw material (1) as a single-piece blank part (3.1, 3.2) and are processed to form a seat cover (2).
