- the known clip element is generally very stiff, so that it is noticeable when sitting on the cushion, especially when a soft foam is used.
- the object of the invention is to provide an improved clip element for connecting a cushion cover to a foam cushion element and an associated fastening device which does not press when sitting on the cushion.
- the clip element according to the invention has the advantage that in the assembled state, when the cushion cover is attached to it, it yields under pressure. Furthermore, it is through its almost indestructible due to the elasticity.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the clip element according to a first embodiment.
- FIG. 2 shows a section through the clip element from FIG. 1 along the line A-A in the connected state with a foam cushion and a cushion cover;
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment of the clip element
- Fig. 4 is a front view of the clip element of Fig. 3;
- FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of a fastening element which interacts with the clip element
- FIG. 8 shows a perspective view of a further embodiment of the clip element
- Fig. 9 is a front view of the clip element of Fig. 8; 10 shows a perspective view of a further embodiment of the clip element; and
- FIG. 11 is a rear view of the clip element of FIG. 10.
- the clip element 1 is embedded in a foam body 2 which consists of polyurethane foam.
- a cushion cover 3 is connected to the clip element 1 and thus the foam body 2 via a fastening element 4.
- the clip element 1 consists of a base part with two trough-shaped longitudinal elements 5, 5 'which are oriented essentially parallel to one another and which are provided with cutouts 50, 50' and which are approximately in their center with one another via a web 10 running transversely to their longitudinal direction are connected.
- a latching hook 6, 6 ' extends from each longitudinal element 5, 5' of the base part at the location of the web 10, the free ends of the latching hooks 6, 6 ', ie the actual hook ends 11, 11', facing each other.
- the latching hooks have a certain basic elasticity, which makes it possible to clip in the fastening element 4.
- the web 10 is curved in a direction pointing away from the latching hooks 6, 6 '.
- the latching hooks 6, 6 ' are double-walled and each have an outer wall 7, 7' and an inner wall 8, 8 ', the inner wall 7, 7' and the outer wall 8, 8 'of each latching hook 6, 6' in one with the other Area of the hook end 11, 11 'are connected.
- the distance between the inner walls 7, 7 'from the outer walls 8, 8' of the latching hooks 6, 6 'increases in the direction of the web 10 and the distance from the bottom of the channel 9 to the web 10 is approximately equal to the distance between the inner and outer walls in the area of the bottom of the channel 9.
- a reinforcing strut 12, 12 ' is preferably provided between the inner wall and the outer wall in the area of the U-shaped channel and the lower end of the outer wall facing the web 10 for each latching hook 6, 6'.
- the distance between the hook ends 11, 11 'of the locking hooks 6, 6' is such that when the fastening element 4 is inserted, the hook ends 11, 11 'engage around the fastening element 4.
- the entire clip element is formed from a suitable plastic, for example Hostaform.
- the clip element yields elastically, even when the fastening element 4 is clipped in, in a direction in which the pressure load occurs when sitting on the upholstery, without the fastening being released thereby. Furthermore, the design of the longitudinal elements 5, 5 1 as channels which are arched in a direction pointing away from the latching hooks results in an improved hold in the foam body 2, since the longitudinal parts 5, 5 'act like an anchor.
- the base part consists of two parallel, strip-like longitudinal struts 51, 51 ', which are connected in the middle and at both ends by a web 110, 110' and 110 ''.
- the locking hooks 6, 6 ' are arranged at the location of the middle web as in the first embodiment.
- the webs are in a ne curved direction pointing away from the locking hooks.
- the cross section of the longitudinal struts 51, 51 ' is circular.
- the design of the locking hooks 6, 6 ' is otherwise the same as in the first embodiment.
- the fastening element 4 consists of a narrow fleece section 4a connected to the cushion cover 3, the cross-sectional dimension of which is smaller than the distance between the hook ends 11, 11 'of the latching hooks 6, 6'. and from an adjoining thickened section 4b with which it can be clipped into the clip element 1.
- the thickened section 4b has on its side facing the fleece section 4a a diameter which is greater than the distance between the hook ends 11, 11 'of the latching hooks 6, 6' when the latching hooks are in their rest position.
- the thickened section 4b is formed, for example, as an extruded plastic strand, as can be seen in FIG.
- the thickened section 4b can have different cross-sectional shapes, such as circular, triangular, heart-shaped, etc. it is crucial that the side of the thickened section 4b facing the fleece section 4a has a larger diameter than the fleece section 4a.
- the clip element 1 is connected to the foam body 2 in a known manner by inserting the clip elements into a mold, filling in liquid polyurethane and foaming the same.
- the foam connects to the base part 5, 5 'or 51, 51', so that the clip element is anchored in the foam body 2.
- the upholstery cover 3 is fastened by means of the fastening element. tes by engaging or clipping the thickened portion 4b into the space formed by the locking hooks 6, 6 '.
- the locking hooks 6, 6 ' give way elastically when the fastening element is clipped in.
- the double-walled latching hooks 6, 6 ' ensure that the clip element is elastic even after the fastening element 4 is clipped in, since the outer wall of each latching hook can be moved relative to the inner wall.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 Another embodiment of the clip element is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. Elements of the same design as the first embodiment are provided with the same reference numerals as are used in the first embodiment.
- the clip element 100 likewise has the base part with two channel-shaped longitudinal elements 5, 5 'and the central web 10 connecting them, as in the first embodiment.
- the locking hooks 6, 6 'with the mutually facing hook ends 11, 1' are also double-walled and each have an inner wall 70, 70 'and an outer wall 80, 80'.
- the inner walls 70, 70 ' are connected to one another at their end facing the base part to form the U-shaped channel 9.
- the outer walls 80, 80' are not directly connected to the central web 10, but point at their Middle web 10 facing end a substantially horizontal portion 81, 81 'on which is connected to the corresponding end of the inner wall 70, 70'.
- the inner wall 70, 70 'and the outer wall 80, 80' of each latching hook are connected to the central web via a strut 82, 82 'running at an angle to the horizontal section 81, 81' in the direction of the central web 10 .
- the latching hooks 6, 6 ' are each as a unit only via the struts 82, 82' with the Mit- telsteg and thus connected to the longitudinal elements 5, 5 '. This results in better mechanical decoupling of the latching hooks 6, 6 'from the longitudinal elements 5, 5', which means that the latching hooks hold the fastening element 4 securely and the band is prevented from slipping out.
- the longitudinal elements 5, 5 ' are designed as in the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4.
- FIGS. 10 and 11 A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. This is particularly suitable for fastening elements to be clipped in with a circular diameter, for example for round rods or cords with a circular diameter connected to the fleece section 4a.
- the clip element 200 like that of the embodiment according to FIG. 1 or that according to FIG. 8, has the channel-shaped longitudinal elements 5, 5 ′ which are connected to one another via a central web 210.
- the central web 210 is curved in the opposite direction to the curvature of the channel-shaped longitudinal elements 5, 5 '.
- a latching hook 60 extends from the central web 210 in the direction of its curvature, the hook end 61 pointing towards the center of the web.
- the hook is not double-walled in this embodiment.
- the curvature of the inside of the hook 60 is rounded off in such a way that a fastening element with a circular cross-section can be accommodated therein with essentially a precise fit.
- the latching hook 60 merges at its end facing the central web into an elastic tongue 65 which extends away from the central web 210 and covers the space formed by the hook 60 in such a way that an inserted one Fastener can not slide out laterally in the direction of the longitudinal part 5 '.
- the free end 66 of the Tab 65 is slightly directed away from hook 60 to allow easy insertion of the fastener.
- the tongue 65 On its inside facing the hook 60, the tongue 65 has a protrusion 67 approximately halfway up, which serves as a stop for the hook end 61.
- the fastener is inserted at the location between the hook end 61 and the free end 66 of the tongue 65 into the space formed by the hook and tongue, the hook and the tongue being pushed apart.
- the hook then snaps into place behind the fastener.
- the tongue acts as a safeguard against slipping out.
