Abstract: A composite fabric for use as a replacement for vinyl transportation vehicle seating trim is described. The composite includes a woven fabric bonded to a nonwoven substrate, and is desirably substantially all-polyester. The composite has physical properties superior to that of conventional vinyl materials, yet is lighter weight. In addition, the composite is readily and efficiently recyclable.

Abstract: The handle has a blade mounting portion with a raised boss forming a slot. The blade has a boss receiving recess with a portion defined by an edge. The cartridge removeably retains the blade. It has an opening into which the blade mounting portion of the handle can be inserted. A normally arcuate spring is mounted in cantilever fashion within the enclosure. The tip of the blade abuts a stop surface proximate the unattached end of the spring. In its arcuate state, the spring retains the blade in a position where the edge of the blade can enter the slot in the handle. As the blade is moved by insertion of the handle, against the urging of the spring, the spring straightens allowing the blade to assume a position where the boss can be fully seated within the recess, mounting the blade on the handle. The blade is then removed from the cartridge by withdrawing the handle. After use, the blade is reinserted into the cartridge.
