Publication number: 20170327017Abstract: The present invention provides a seat which reduces the load applied to a first fastening part, is unlikely to cause wrinkles or slack in a surface cover, and makes surface sheet attachment and detachment simple. To this end, a first fastening part and a second fastening part of a seat are attachable and detachable; hence, it is possible to easily exchange a surface cover according to the season and to clean the surface cover. The second fastening part attachably/detachably connects the surface cover and the rear-surface cover to one another. As a result, the second fastening part appropriately reduces the load directly applied to the first fastening part, making it possible to prevent damage to the first fastening part, and making it unlikely for wrinkles or slack to occur in the surface cover. Furthermore, the second fastening part is the same color and hue at each suspended section; hence, aligning the surface sheet position is easy.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2015Publication date: November 16, 2017Applicant: TACHI-S CO., LTD.Inventors: Takahiko NAGASAWA, Tsutomu FUJIKAKE, Ryo KUROBE
