  • Seat assembly and trim member
    Patent number: 11858388
    Abstract: A trim member may include an elongated first portion and a plurality of second portions connected to the first portion. The plurality of second portions may include a body portion, a cover portion, an aperture, and an opening. The body portion may be connected to the first portion. The cover portion may be connected to and protrude outward from an end of the body portion. The aperture may extend at least partially through the body portion and the cover portion in a first direction. The aperture may be configured to receive at least a portion of a headrest in a direction that is oblique or perpendicular to the first direction via said portion of said headrest passing through the opening.
