- Vehicle longitudinal direction which corresponds to the normal direction of travel of the vehicle.
- a transverse direction y running perpendicular to the longitudinal direction x is also oriented horizontally in the vehicle and runs parallel to one
- a vertical direction z is perpendicular to that
- the position and directional information used refer to a viewing direction of an occupant sitting in the vehicle seat 1 in a normal sitting position, the vehicle seat 1 being installed in the vehicle, in a use position with the backrest 4 and upright, suitable for transporting people as usual in the direction of travel.
- the vehicle seat 1 according to the invention can also be installed in a different orientation, for example transversely to the direction of travel.
- the vehicle seat 1 for a motor vehicle has a seat part 2 and a backrest 4 whose inclination can be adjusted relative to the seat part 2.
- a headrest 6 is held at an upper end of the backrest 4.
- Both the seat part 2, the backrest 4 and the headrest 6 can each be covered by a cover 8.
- the cover 8 is in each case adapted to the corresponding shape of the covered body, in particular the seat part 2 or the backrest 4 or the headrest 6.
- various blanks from a reference material according to the invention are sewn together in the area of a seam 10 shown and not sewn on one
- FIG. 3 shows a basic element 42 of a tool frame 40, which can be used in a method according to the invention for producing a cover material for a cover 8, in particular for the vehicle seat 1.
- the tool frame 40 has a base element 42.
- the base element 42 has a central opening 46. Around the edge area of the opening 46
- the base element 42 has holding openings 48 in order to hold or guide the base element 42 of the tool frame 40 in a tool part 70 which interacts with it.
- the base element 42 serves to align and hold a starting material 20 to be processed by means of a material processing method. If that
- Base element 42 of the tool frame 40 is held in the tool part 70, the opening 46 serves to make the insertable starting material 20 accessible.
- FIG. 4 shows a sectional view through several layers of the starting material 20.
- the starting material 20 is formed from a first layer 24a, a second layer 24b and a third layer 24c.
- the starting material 20 can also be composed of fewer or more layers of various materials.
- the starting material 20 is provided with positioning openings 22, which have a matching arrangement, like the positioning pins 44 of the
- the first layer 24a arranged above in the present case provides a surface 32, which in the finished cover 8 can be an outwardly visible surface 32.
- the third layer 24a arranged below at the bottom provides a further surface 34 facing away from the surface 32.
- the further surface 34 can one in the finished cover 8
- the first layer 24a can be made of leather, for example.
- the second layer 24b can be a fleece, for example.
- the third layer 24c can be a foam, for example.
- FIG. 5 shows the tool frame 40 together with the tool part 70 arranged below the tool frame 40.
- FIG. 6 shows a detail of the tool part 70.
- the tool part 70 has guide elements 72 which cooperate with the openings 48 of the tool frame 40 in such a way that the tool frame 40 in a smooth movement along the
- Guide elements 72 can be fed to the tool part 70. That on the
- Base element 42 of tool frame 40, fixed starting material 20, can thus be fed to tool part 70.
