  • VEHICLE SEAT WITH IMPROVED CRAFTSMANSHIP
    Publication number: 20110105679
    Abstract: A process for improving vehicle seat craftsmanship by camouflaging a receiving surface on a predetermined vehicle component (e.g., a foam seat cushion) is described. The camouflaging conceals the vehicle component from observation. One example of the process includes designating a receiving surface area on the vehicle component and providing a covering material having an opaque characteristic. The covering material includes an opaque dye that bonds with the polyurethane foam that is poured into a mold with deionized water for solidification. Another example of the process further includes spraying the covering material according to a surface of the mold cavity which corresponds to the designated receiving surface area on the vehicle component.
