Abstract

The invention relates to an arrangement for securing a two-layered knitted fabric to a support such as one required to secure seat covers to supports. A first fastening element (14) is placed between the two layers (12, 13) of the knitted fabric while a second fastening element is placed on or in the support. A connecting element is stretched between the first and second fastening element, whereby the first end of said connecting element can be fixed onto the first fastening element and the second end can be fixed onto the second fastening element. The inventive arrangement enables a cover to be fixed onto a support in a quick and effective manner without manufacturing said cover by approaching fastening elements at low machine running times.

Description

Anordnung zur Befestigung eines zweilagigen Gestricks an einemArrangement for attaching a two-layer knitted fabric to one
Trägercarrier
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur Befestigung eines zweilagigen Gestricks an einem Träger, wie sie z.B. für die Festlegung eines Sitzbezuges an einem Sitzträger benötigt wird.The present invention relates to an arrangement for fastening a two-ply knitted fabric to a carrier, as is e.g. is required to determine a seat cover on a seat support.
In der Kraftfahrzeugindustrie geht ein Trend bei der Herstellung von Kraftfahrzeugsitzbezügen dahin, die Sitzbezüge nicht mehr zu weben und mit einem relativ hohen Personalaufwand zu konfektionieren, sondern den Bezug von vornherein auf einer Flachstrickmaschine als dreidimensionales Gestrick fertig herzustellen, so dass keine weitere Konfektionierung erforderlich ist. Bei der Herstellung des Sitzbezuges auf der Strickmaschine ist es natürlich wünschenswert, wenn nicht nur der Bezug selbst sondern auch die Befestigungsbereiche des Bezuges zu dessen Befestigung an einem Sitzträger beim Herstellungsvorgang mit angestrickt werden können, so dass für die Befestigungselemente keine zusätzliche Konfektionierungsarbeit mehr benötigt wird. Eine Lösung hierzu ist in der EP 0 484 370 AI gezeigt, bei welcher schlauchförmige Abschnitte während des Stricken des Bezuges mit angestrickt werden, ohne dass es eines separaten Bearbeitungsvorganges bedarf. Derartige angestrickte Teile verlängern jedoch die Maschinenlaufzeiten des einzelnen Bezuges beträchtlich, da während des Strickens dieser Teile der restliche Bezug nicht weiter gestrickt wird. Selbstverständlich eignen sich derartige Sitzbezüge auch für stehendes Mobiliar in Büros oder Wohnungen, d. h. für den Bereich des stationären Sitzens.In the motor vehicle industry, there is a trend in the production of motor vehicle seat covers to no longer weave the seat covers and assemble them with a relatively high amount of personnel, but to manufacture the cover from the outset on a flat knitting machine as a three-dimensional knitted fabric, so that no further assembly is required. In the manufacture of the seat cover on the knitting machine, it is of course desirable if not only the cover itself but also the fastening areas of the cover can be knitted onto the seat support during the manufacturing process, so that no additional assembly work is required for the fastening elements. A solution to this is shown in EP 0 484 370 AI, in which tubular sections are knitted with during the knitting of the cover, without the need for a separate processing operation. Such knitted parts, however, considerably extend the machine running times of the individual cover, since the remaining cover is no longer knitted during the knitting of these parts. Of course, such seat covers are also suitable for standing furniture in offices or apartments. H. for the area of stationary sitting.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Anordnung zur Befestigung eines zweilagigen Gestricks an einem Träger zu schaffen, die eine einfache Befestigung des Gestricks an dem Träger ermöglicht, ohne dass der Herstellungsaufwand für den Bezug dadurch sehr stark ansteigt. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.It is an object of the invention to provide an arrangement for attaching a two-layer knitted fabric to a carrier, which enables the knitted fabric to be easily attached to the carrier without the manufacturing outlay for the cover thus increasing very much. This object is achieved by solved the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Erfindungsgemäß wird zwischen die beiden Lagen des Sitzbezugs ein Befestigungselement eingezogen, welches zur Befestigung des Bezuges an dem Träger dient. Dieses Befestigungselement kann z. B. ein Keder oder ein Hohlprofil sein, in das ein Ende eines Verbindungselementes oder Befestigungselements eingreift, dessen anderes Ende an dem Träger vorgesehen oder festlegbar ist. Dieses erste Befestigungselement sollte auf jeden Fall starrer als das Gestrick selbst sein, um auf diese Weise das Gestrick flächiger gegen den Träger festlegen zu können. Der Keder kann so z. B. auch als eine relativ starre Stange aus Kunststoff, jedoch auch als etwas starrerer Draht oder Schnur aus Kunststoff oder in jeglicher Form ausgebildet sein, die sich in eine längliche Tasche einschieben läßt.According to the invention, a fastening element is inserted between the two layers of the seat cover, which serves to fasten the cover to the carrier. This fastener can, for. B. be a piping or a hollow profile, in which one end of a connecting element or fastening element engages, the other end of which is provided or can be fixed on the carrier. This first fastening element should in any case be more rigid than the knitted fabric itself, in order in this way to be able to fix the knitted fabric flat against the carrier. The piping can so z. B. can also be designed as a relatively rigid rod made of plastic, but also as a somewhat more rigid wire or plastic cord or in any shape that can be inserted into an elongated pocket.
In oder an dem Träger sind zweite Befestigungselemente angeordnet, welche entweder direkt mit den ersten Befestigungselementen zusammenwirken oder in welche das andere Ende des Verbindungselementes eingreift. Die zweiten Befestigungselemente können ebenfalls als Hohlprofile, Ösen, Haken, Löcher, Velcrostrukturen, Magnete oder Clips etc. ausgebildet sein. Vorzugsweise ist das Verbindungselement zwischen dem Gestrick und dem Träger als elastisches Band oder Seil ausgebildet, so dass das erste Befestigungselement des Gestricks nicht unbedingt über dem zweiten Befestigungselement des Trägers zu liegen kommen muß. Eine Befestigung ist hier auch möglich, wenn diese etwas voneinander beanstandet sind. Derartige örtliche üngenauigkeit, wie sie beim Herstellen eines Sitzbezuges immer entstehen können, werden durch die Flexibilität des Verbindungselementes ausgeglichen.Second fastening elements are arranged in or on the carrier, which either interact directly with the first fastening elements or in which the other end of the connecting element engages. The second fastening elements can also be designed as hollow profiles, eyelets, hooks, holes, velcro structures, magnets or clips etc. The connecting element between the knitted fabric and the carrier is preferably designed as an elastic band or rope, so that the first fastening element of the knitted fabric does not necessarily have to lie above the second fastening element of the carrier. Attachment is also possible here if they are somewhat objected to by each other. Such local inaccuracy, which can always arise when producing a seat cover, is compensated for by the flexibility of the connecting element.
Vorzugsweise sind sowohl die ersten als auch die zweiten Befestigungselemente länglich ausgebildet und erlauben eine Festle- gung des Verbindungselementes entlang ihrer Längserstreckung. Wenn nun noch die ersten und zweiten Befestigungselemente senkrecht zueinander verlaufen, werden immer Punkte gefunden, an denen das erste Befestigungselement direkt über dem zweiten Befestigungselement liegt. Derartige Punkte können zum Anordnen von Verbindungselementen verwendet werden. Das Verbindungselement kann jedoch auch als zwar flexibles aber nicht elastisches Textilband oder Textilseil, Gummiband, Gewebeband, Vliesband oder Kunststoffband, eventuell Drahtseil ausgebildet sein, wenngleich auch die Verwendung elastischer Verbindungselemente vorzuziehen ist. Als Verbindungselement lassen sich auch Schraubenfedern verwenden. Das elastische Verbindungselement kann auch direkt an/in dem ersten Befestigungselement des Gestricks oder an/in dem zweiten Befestigungselement des Trägers integriert ausgebildet sein.Both the first and the second fastening elements are preferably of elongated design and permit fixing. supply of the connecting element along its longitudinal extent. If the first and second fastening elements now run perpendicular to one another, points are always found at which the first fastening element lies directly above the second fastening element. Such points can be used to arrange fasteners. However, the connecting element can also be designed as a flexible but not elastic textile band or textile rope, rubber band, fabric band, non-woven band or plastic band, possibly wire rope, although the use of elastic connecting elements is also preferable. Coil springs can also be used as a connecting element. The elastic connecting element can also be integrated directly on / in the first fastening element of the knitted fabric or on / in the second fastening element of the carrier.
Die erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsanordnung eignet sich nicht nur zur Befestigung von Sitzbezügen an Sitzträgern sondern auch zur Befestigung von textilen Verkleidungsteilen, Designstrukturen, Isolier- oder Filterteilen an Trägern z.B. im Kfz- Innenbereich.The fastening arrangement according to the invention is suitable not only for fastening seat covers to seat supports but also for fastening textile cladding parts, design structures, insulating or filter parts to supports e.g. in the automotive interior.
Das erste und/oder zweite Befestigungselement kann auch als ferromagnetisches Material oder Magnet ausgebildet sein, welches mit dem jeweils komplementären anderen Befestigungselement (Magnet, anderer Pol/ferromagnetisches Material) in Wechselwirkung tritt.The first and / or second fastening element can also be designed as a ferromagnetic material or magnet which interacts with the respectively complementary other fastening element (magnet, other pole / ferromagnetic material).
Die durch die beiden Gewebelagen gebildete längliche Tasche zum Einlegen des ersten Befestigungsteils kann zum Träger hin partiell durchbrochen oder gelocht sein, um die Befestigung an dem zweiten Befestigungselement des Trägers oder an dem Verbindungselement im Bereich dieser Durchbrechungen zu gestatten. Durch derartige Durchbrechungen kann auch in einfacher Weise das erste Befestigungselement selbst in die Tasche eingeschoben werden.The elongated pocket formed by the two fabric layers for inserting the first fastening part can be partially perforated or perforated towards the carrier in order to permit fastening to the second fastening element of the carrier or to the connecting element in the region of these openings. Such breakthroughs can also be done in a simple manner the first fastener can be inserted into the pocket itself.
Zusätzlich zu der Festlegung des Gestricks an dem Träger mittels der Befestigungselemente können auch in anderen Bereichen Velcrostrukturen (Klettverschlüsse) zur Unterstützung der Festlegung vorgesehen sein, z.B. im Bereich von Rundungen oder von stark konturierten Teilen, um hier ein glattes faltenfreies Design zu gewährleisten.In addition to fixing the knitted fabric to the carrier by means of the fastening elements, velcro structures (Velcro fasteners) can also be provided in other areas to support the fixing, e.g. in the area of curves or heavily contoured parts to ensure a smooth, wrinkle-free design.
Obwohl wegen ihrer schlechten Lösbarkeit diese Verbindungstechnik nicht immer anwendbar ist, können die ersten und zweiten Befestigungselemente auch als miteinander zu verbindende Klebestellen ausgebildet sein, die durch Aufbringung eines Klebers miteinander verbunden werden.Although this connection technique cannot always be used because of its poor detachability, the first and second fastening elements can also be designed as adhesive points to be connected to one another, which are connected to one another by applying an adhesive.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend beispielsweise anhand der schematischen Zeichnung beschrieben. In dieser zeigen:The invention is described below, for example, using the schematic drawing. In this show:

Figur 1 zeigt ein Zweilagengestrick z. B. eine Doppeljersey- Struktur welche im Allgemeinen lxl versetzt gestrickt ist. In einem Abschnitt 11 sind die beiden Lagen 12,13 des Doppeljersey nicht miteinander vermascht, wodurch zwischen den beiden Lagen 12,13 ein Hohlraum gebildet wird. In diesem Hohlraum ist als erstes Befestigungselement ein Keder 14 eingelegt, der sehr viel starrer als das umgebende Gestrick ist. Dieser Keder durchzieht über eine vorgegebene Länge das Doppelgestrick und ist an jeder beliebigen Stelle seiner Länge von einem in Figur 2 dargestellten Verbindungselement greifbar. Das Verbindungselement 16 enthält ein elastisches Band 18 an dessen oberen Ende ein erstes Eingriffselement 20 angeordnet ist, welches in diesem Fall als C-förmiges Hohlprofil ausgebildet ist und zum Umgreifen des Keders 14 in den Doppellagengestrick 10 dient. Das andere Ende 22 des Verbindungselementes 16 ist wiederum als Keder ausgebildet, in der in einem zweiten Befestigungselement 24 eines Trägers 26 festlegbar ist. Das zweite Befestigungselement 24 ist hier identisch mit dem ersten Eingriffselement 20 des Verbindungselementes 16 als C-förmiges Hohlprofil ausgebildet. Der Keder 22 als zweites Eingriffselement des Verbindungselementes 16 wird einfach in das C-Profil 24 des Trägers 26 eingedrückt und auf diese Weise festgelegt. Das zweite Befestigungselement 24 des Trägers 26 hat eine größere Längserstrek- kung, die aus der Zeichenebene heraus gerichtet ist. Vorzugsweise kreuzen sich die ersten und zweiten Befestigungselemente 14,24, so dass an allen Kreuzungspunkten Verbindungselemente 16 zum Festlegen des Gestricks 10 an dem Träger 26 vorgesehen werden können. Die Länge der Verbindungselemente 16 sollte in etwa dem gegenseitigen Abstand der ersten und zweiten Befestigungselemente am Kreuzungspunkt entsprechen. Elastische Verbin- dungselemente sollten etwas kürzer sein, um den Bezug leicht gegen den Träger vorzuspannen.Figure 1 shows a two-ply knit z. B. a double jersey structure which is generally knitted lxl offset. In a section 11, the two layers 12, 13 of the double jersey are not meshed with one another, as a result of which a cavity is formed between the two layers 12, 13. In this cavity, a welt 14 is inserted as the first fastening element, which is much more rigid than the surrounding knitted fabric. This piping runs through the double knitted fabric over a predetermined length and can be gripped at any point along its length by a connecting element shown in FIG. The connecting element 16 contains an elastic band 18 at the upper end of which a first engagement element 20 is arranged, which in this case is designed as a C-shaped hollow profile and is used for gripping the welt 14 in the double-layer knitted fabric 10. The other end 22 of the connecting element 16 is in turn formed as a piping in which a carrier 26 can be fixed in a second fastening element 24. Here, the second fastening element 24 is identical to the first engagement element 20 of the connecting element 16 as a C-shaped hollow profile. The piping 22 as the second engagement element of the connecting element 16 is simply pressed into the C-profile 24 of the carrier 26 and fixed in this way. The second fastening element 24 of the carrier 26 has a larger longitudinal extent, which is directed out of the plane of the drawing. The first and second fastening elements 14, 24 preferably intersect, so that connecting elements 16 for fixing the knitted fabric 10 to the carrier 26 can be provided at all crossing points. The length of the connecting elements 16 should correspond approximately to the mutual distance between the first and second fastening elements at the crossing point. Elastic connector Extension elements should be slightly shorter to slightly bias the cover against the wearer.
Figur 4 zeigt eine andere Ausführungsform eines Verbindungselementes 28. Ein Eingriffselement 30 ist dort als herzförmiges Profil ausgebildet, welches sich leicht in ein hohlprofilförmi- ges Befestigungselement des Trägers und/oder des Doppelgestricks einführen läßt, jedoch aufgrund seines Profils schwer wieder daraus entfernen läßt.FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of a connecting element 28. An engagement element 30 is designed there as a heart-shaped profile, which can be easily inserted into a hollow-profile-shaped fastening element of the carrier and / or the double knitted fabric, but is difficult to remove from it again due to its profile.
Hier ist anzumerken, dass selbstverständlich das erste und zweite Befestigungselement das gleiche Profil aufweisen können oder das wie die in den Figuren 1-3 dargestellten Befestigungselemente und Eingriffselemente zueinander identisch ausgebildet sein können.It should be noted here that the first and second fastening elements can of course have the same profile or that the fastening elements and engagement elements shown in FIGS. 1-3 can be identical to one another.
Figur 5 zeigt ein Verbindungselement 32, welches als Gummiband ausgebildet ist, dass an seinen oberen und unteren Endbereichen Perforationen aufweist. Diese Perforationen können von entsprechenden Strukturen der ersten und zweiten Befestigungselemente durchsetzt werden.FIG. 5 shows a connecting element 32 which is designed as a rubber band which has perforations at its upper and lower end regions. Corresponding structures of the first and second fastening elements can penetrate these perforations.
Eine weitere alternative Ausführungsmöglichkeit eines Verbindungselementes 34 ist in Figur 6 dargestellt. Hier ist an zumindest einem Ende des Verbindungselementes 34 eine quer zu einem Gummiband 36 des Verbindungselementes, welches den Abstand zwischen dem Zweilagengestrick und dem Träger überbrückt eine Befestigungsfläche 38 vorgesehen, an deren dem Gummiband abgewandten Außenseite eine Velcrostruktur 40 vorgesehen ist. Diese Velcrostruktur greift in eine komplementäre Velcrostruktur an dem Träger oder in dem Zwischenraum des Zweilagengestricks ein.A further alternative embodiment of a connecting element 34 is shown in FIG. 6. Here, at least one end of the connecting element 34 is provided with a fastening surface 38, transverse to a rubber band 36 of the connecting element, which bridges the distance between the two-layer knitted fabric and the carrier, on whose outer side facing away from the rubber band a velcro structure 40 is provided. This velcro structure engages in a complementary velcro structure on the carrier or in the space between the two-layer knitted fabric.
Selbstverständlich können die oben dargestellten Arten von Eingriffselementen in beliebiger Weise miteinander kombiniert werden. Vorzugsweise ist der Bereich des Verbindungselementes zwi- sehen den beiden Eingriffselementen (siehe z. B. 18 in Figur 2) elastisch ausgebildet, so dass auch Punkte miteinander verbunden werden können, die nicht direkt übereinander liegen. Auf diese Weise können Sitzbezüge mit größeren Toleranzabweichungen ohne Problem an dem Träger befestigt werden. Of course, the types of engagement elements shown above can be combined with one another in any manner. The area of the connecting element is preferably between see the two engagement elements (see, for example, 18 in FIG. 2) so that points can be connected to one another that are not directly above one another. In this way, seat covers with larger tolerance deviations can be attached to the carrier without any problem.
