It is understood to be within the purview of the invention, as an alternative to two crescent shaped members 40 in a spaced relationship to each other, to employ one unitary attachment member M, at each end of forward transverse supporting member 18, having the width of the gap shown between the crescent members 40 in Fig. 3.
  • an attachment member M which extends the length of front transverse support member 18 can be used.
  • rearwardly facing arcuate surfaces 42 of each member 40 engage forward transverse support member 18 as rearwardly facing arcuate surfaces 38 engage rear transverse support member 20. It is understood to be within the purview of the invention to have arcuate surfaces 38 and 42 both forward facing (arrow 44, Fig. 2), however, it is preferred to have arcuate surfaces 38 and 42 both facing in the same direction and rearwardly (arrow 40 Fig. 2).
  • clip A is inserted to interact with seat S and forward transverse support member 18. It is understood that it is within the purview of the invention to apply clip A to interact with seat S adjacent rear transverse support member 20 only, or both at the forward 18 and rear 20 transverse members. Alternatively, the seats can be secured to members 22 and 24 in the same variety of ways described above. However, it is preferred to have the clip disposed solely adjacent forward transverse support member 18.
  • Clip A is constructed preferably from a light weight high 5 strength material such as a rigid plastic. Other materials may be used without departing from the spirit of the invention.
  • Clip A includes an arcuate surface 46 which as shown in Fig. 5 is forward facing and adapted to the contour of forward transverse support member 18 for
  • Arcuate surface 46 blends into a projection 48 extending from clip A.
  • Projection 48 has an arcuate end surface which is designed to conform to the arcuate depression 52 disposed adjacent crescent shaped projections 40.
  • Arcuate surface 50 is
  • Another projection 62 contains a bearing surface 64.
  • bearing surface 64 engages surface 66 pre olded on the underside of seat S.
  • clip A is installed there is preferably flush
  • Surfaces 70 and 72 are parallel to each other and surface 64 is perpendicular to surfaces 70 and 72.
  • Surface 70 extends perpendicularly from surface 54 at one end thereof.
  • Edge 68 extends angularly from surface 72 toward lower end 90 of clip A.
  • projection 74 extends from surface 54 from a point between projection 48 and projection 62.
  • Projection 74 is rearwardly inclined from surface 54 to its free end 76 (Fig. 6).
  • End 76 has a substantially planar engagement surface 78 thereon.
  • projection 74 is defined by top surface 80, engagement surface 78, and 5 bottom surface 82.
  • engagement surface 78 extends further from surface 54 than bearing surface 64.
  • Projection 74 is designed for inward deflection toward surface 54 during the installation procedure for clip A as will be described hereinbelow.
  • 0 Seat S is formed having a depression 84 thereon.
  • Depression 84 has a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to forward transverse support member 18 and is preferably disposed rearwardly thereof. As seen in Fig. 5, when clip A is assembled to seat S and forward transverse support member 18, projection 74 0 extends into depression 84. Depression 84 further includes contact surface 86 and a substantially planar bottom surface 88 disposed adjacent and perpendicularly thereto. As seen in Fig. 5, when clip A is installed, the final position of projection 74 has engagement surface 78 5 butted flush up against contact surface 86 and top surface 80 in contact with bottom surface 88 of depression 84.
  • clip A requires the initial placement of clip A adjacent forward transverse support member 18. Initially, projection 74 will be O somewhat deflected toward surface 54 from its neutral position. Simultaneously, arcuate end surface 50 will be oriented in the direction of depression 52 on crescent shaped members 40. Subsequently, suitable pressure or blows applied to surface 72 result in advancement of clip 5 A, whereupon projection 74 clears surface 66 and springs into depression 84. The spring forces built up as a result of the initial deflection of projection 74 toward surface 54 are employed in forcing projection 74 into depression 84. There results a preferably force fit between contact surface 86 and engagement surface 78 thus retaining projection 74 within depression 84.
  • arcuate end surface 50 of clip A engages the base of the arcuate depression 52 within crescent members 40.
  • the interference fit between surfaces 78 and 86 forces arcuate end surface 50 into
  • a pair of clips A are installed adjacent either end of forward transverse support member 18 between a pair of crescent shaped members 40.
  • 30- ' width of clip A can be slightly less than the spacing between crescent shaped members 40.
  • Arcuate depression 52 (Fig. 5), rather than going completely through each crescent shaped member 40 can extend only partway through whereupon the wall structure of crescent shaped members 40
  • FIG. 5 Another aspect of the present invention is the method of attaching the upholstery 100 (Fig. 8) to the seat S.
  • the underside of seat S has a continuous groove 102 as illustrated in Fig. 7.
  • Upholstery 100 preferably having a flame bonded backing, is stretched onto a mold (not 0 shown).
  • a cushion 104 of polyurethane foam is foamed directly onto the back surface 106 of the upholstery 100.
  • the upholstery 100 and cushion 104 combination is positioned on the upper surface of the seat S.
  • the upholstery-cushion combination is pressed onto the seat S 5 thereby providing extra amount of fabric 108 which projects beyond the edges of the seat S.
  • the fabric is pulled around and into continuous groove 102. As shown in Fig. 8, the fabric terminates at the lowermost point 110 within continuous groove 102.
  • a continuous resilient 0 member 112, preferably rubber having a round cross-section, is inserted into groove 102 and retains the end 108 of upholstery 100 to the lowermost point of groove 102.
  • the mounting force previously applied to the cushion and upholstery is withdrawn, as a result a taut, smooth 5 fabric 100 wraps around the seat S.
  • Groove 102 is rearwardly facing near the front of the chair so as to hide its existence to one viewing the upholstered seat while standing next to the chair.
