' UNITED sTArEs PATENT OFFICE.
J'OSEIIPH H. BOURGON, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR TO THE STUDEBAKER COR PORATION, OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY.
METHOD OF ATTAC HING UPHOLSTERY.
Application filed April 25, 1924. Serial No. 709,071.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J OSEPH H. BoURooN,
a subject of George V, King of Great Britain and Ireland, and resident of Detrolt, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Attaching Upholstery, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to the method of attaching upholstery, and particularly to the method of covering arm rests and attaching the same to the sides of seats and the like.
An object of the present invention is to provide an easy, quick and efficient method of securing arm rests in position.
Another object is to provide a method of securing arm rests in position whereby all the securing means will be concealed.
A further object is to provide a back or securing plate which is not only used for holding the arm rest in position but is also used as a means for holding. the covering on the arm rest.
The above being among the objects of the present invention, the same consists of certain methods of assembly and the combination of parts to be hereinafter described in reference to the accompanying drawing, and then claimed, having the above and other objects in view. a
In the drawing, in which like numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views,-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a frag ment of the rear com artment of a closed automobile body, to w ich this invention is particularly adaptable, showing an arm rest in the usual position therein.
Figure 2 is a side View of the back or securing plate to which the arm rest is secured.
Figure 3is a side view of the arm rest with the covering removed.
Figure 4 is a diagrammatic section showing the relative positions of and the method of assembling the arm rest and co-operating parts.
Figure 5 is a section through the arm rest and co-operating parts when the same are in assembled position.
Figure 6 is a section through the arm rest proper taken on the line 66 of Figure 3.
The arm rest 9 consists of a relatively long and narrow triangular sectioned distortable rubber block 10 having recesses 11 formed in the face thereof stopping short of the upper face, the recesses 11 being spaced to form supporting ribs or brackets 12 for the upper face. Vulcanized to the rear face of the block 10 is a metal plate 13, (see Figure 6) and welded to the plate 13 and moulded into the rubber block 10 are threaded nuts 14, suitable openings-15 being formed in the plate 13 for the entrance of screws such as 16, from the back thereof into the threaded openings in the nuts 14. It is desirable to cover the arm rests of this type with u holstery to correspond with the finish o the surrounding parts (in this case the interior of a closed automobile body) to which the arm rest 9 is secured. The method used in the present invention in applying the arm rest 9 to the side of the object and as best shown in Figures 4 and 5 is as follows: Upholstery material such as 17 is folded around the arm rest 9, the overlapping edges being at the back. The upholstery material 18 for the side face of the object to which the arm rest 9 is to be applied is then brought up over the arm rest 9 past the rear face thereof. Next a securing or back plate 19 is placed back of the upholstering material 17 and 18. The securing plate 19 has openings 20 which are adapted to match the openings 15 in the plate 13 and when in position the plate extends a substantial amount above the upper face of the rubber block 10. Screws 16 are introduced through the openings 20 from the back as shown in Figure 4, the plate 19, arm rest 9 and cooperating parts being preferably held in a horizontal position for this operation, and are passed through the upholstering material 18 and 17 and through the opening 15 into the threaded nuts 14 and are drawn up tight, thus securing the arm rest 9 to the plate 19 and clamping the upholstery 18 and 17 securely in place therebetween. The
by clamp the free edges of said upholstery material between said arm rest and said plate, subsequently securing said plate to said vehicle body, and then concealing said plate with upholstery material.
3. The method of upholstering and secur- 1 ing an arm rest to an upholstered object,.
which consists in clamping the upholstering material of said arm rest in place between a rigid plate and said arm rest, securing said plate to said object, and concealing said plate with upholsterymaterial.
4. The method of securing an arm rest to an upholstered object, which consists in layingthe upholstery material of said object over the back of said arm rest, placing a rigid plate back of said material and securing said plate to said arm rest from the back of said plate, securing an upwardly extending portion of said plate to said object from the front and then bringing said upholstery material up over said plate and securing it in place, thereby concealing said plate and the securing means from view.
5. The method of upholstering and securing an arm rest to the side of a seat which consists in covering the arm rest with upholstery material with the free edges of said material in overlapping relation at the back thereof, securing a plate to the back of said arm rest, to thereby provide the sole means for securing said overlapping edges of said upholstery material between saidplate and said arm rest, and then screwing said plate to the side of said seat.
6. The method of upholstering and securing an arm rest to an upholstered object,
which consists in covering the arm rest with upholstering material with the free edges thereof at the back of said arm rest, bringing the upholstering material of said object up over the back of said arm rest, placing a rigid plate back of the last named upholstering material, inserting screw means through the back of said rigid plate and through said upholstering material into said arm rest, tightening up said screw means thereby clamping said upholstering material between said plate and said arm rest, positioning said arm rest on said object, screwing said plate to said object, and then securing said last named upholstering material in position, thereby concealing said plate and said securing means.
