Abstract: An attachment device for securing a trim cover to foam pad. The attachment device includes an elongated attachment component coupled to the trim cover and a base component disposed within the foam pad. The attachment component includes an outwardly protruding barb and a key pad at a distal end thereof. The base component includes a retaining element having a pair of spaced apart fingers defining a gap there between and a keyway at the bottom of the retaining element between the fingers that is adapted for receiving the key. The key of the attachment component is disposed in the keyway of the retaining element and one of the fingers interacts with the barb to prevent removal of the attachment component from the base component.

Abstract: A clip for retaining a trim cover assembly against a foam pad of a vehicle seat including a base having a hook end and a lock end. The base also includes a flange extending out therefrom. The hook end defines a hook, which secures the trim cover assembly to the clip. The lock end includes a lock and a lock hook. The foam pad includes a pair of inner foam pad walls that define a trench, through which the clip initially passes before contacting the foam pad. The clip is inserted into the foam pad so that the lock end passes completely through the foam pad to an underlying “B” surface. The lock hook is then rotated relative to the base until the lock hook engages the flange. The clip is firmly anchored within the foam pad by the lock end, which has a width greater than the trench.

Abstract: The invention provides the combination of a seat frame, a cover, having a seam, covering the seat frame. An air bag unit is disposed inside the cover and is mounted to the frame. A pair of intensifier sheets sandwich the air bag unit there between. Each of the sheets has a first edge connected to the seam and a second edge supported by the seat frame. The combination is characterized by an interlocking fastener having outboard and inboard portions mechanically interlocked with the outboard portion connected to one of the second edges and the inboard portion connected to the other of the second edges. Each of the outboard and inboard portions includes a back panel extending in a strip between opposite ends. A plurality of J-shaped hooks are disposed in side by side relationship between the opposite ends. A plurality of slots separate adjacent J-shaped hooks and support ribs extend from the back panel and support each of the J-shaped hooks.
