Description

Feeding means for profiling a pad

The invention relates to a pulling-in means for profiling a pad covered on the outside by a cover, preferably for producing a linear binding of the cover, in particular for upholstered furniture and upholstered seats, such as car seats, with a flag made of a textile material and one at the one end Flag attached fixing means for fixing the catchment means on the side facing away from the reference of the catcher. A feed-in means of the aforementioned type is already known from EP 0 403 815 B1. Feed means are used in upholstered furniture, but also in other upholstered seat parts, such as in particular car seats, to bring the attached to a suitable padding cushioning material in the desired, sitting fit form. The cover is sewn to the flag of the catcher and the thus prepared catchment is then drawn into the cushioning material substantially transversely to the outer surface of the resting on the cushioning material cover and set. This results in a seam-like Blindabheftung with corresponding profile curvatures on both sides of Bildabheftung. The known catcher is suitable for all applications in which the flag is sewn directly to the cover. For certain applications known from practice, however, it is not sufficient to realize the profile shaping of the pad alone on the known catchment. Such applications known from practice usually require a rather complicated construction and training of catchment.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide the simplest possible and intended for a variety of applications catchment available, which can be made easily and inexpensively otherwise.

The aforementioned object is achieved according to the invention in a catchment means of the type mentioned above substantially at the other end of the flag, a further fixing means for fixing the catchment means on the side of the catchment means facing the reference and that the further fixing means with the flag is firmly connected. In the invention, there is thus at the two opposite ends or edges of the flag in each case a fixing means, wherein the one fixing means for fixing and fixing the fabric in the pad or below the pad, for example, in or on a locking means, preferably one or more clips, or provided on a wire or on a provided in the region of the seat channel with receiving groove or on the underside of the pad, while the other fixing means for immediate Fixing the cover or provided on the reference.

In the context of the present invention, it is important that the flag is a one-piece flat textile part to which both fixing means are attached. Thus, the solution according to the invention differs from known from practice solutions in which another flag is sewn or otherwise secured to the flag, on which in turn may be a fixing. Such solutions with interconnected flags or flag portions do not represent a flag in the sense of the invention. As a result, the catcher according to the invention offers the significant advantage that the variety of catchers in seat covers can be reduced and also picking and sewing processes, which in certain solutions are necessary in the prior art with the known catching agents, omitted. In the solution according to the invention, the further fixing means, which is also referred to below as the second fixing means, while the other fixing means is also referred to as the first fixing, at least aligned with the other end of the flag, but always preferably over the other end of the flag over , in the plane of the flag. In this way, the second fixing means preferably protrudes beyond the plume lengthwise. The supernatant is particularly useful when the second fixative consists of a sewable material. In particular, the further fixing means may be made of plastic, preferably polypropylene. A plastic, and in particular polypropylene, existing second fixing means can be readily extruded, welded, glued or otherwise connected to the associated end of the flag. In particular, the extruding can be relatively easily and inexpensively. However, it is also possible that the further fixing means is connected to the other end of the flag, in particular glued, sewn or welded.

In order to have a defined region at the second fixing means, at which the sewing with the cover can be realized in a simple manner, the second fixing means has an sewing leg pointing away from the flag. Here, It is a relatively flat, integrally formed with the second fixing means on which readily corresponding seams can be realized. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the catching means according to the invention, it is provided that the second fixing means has a coupling or connecting region for coupling or connection to a further cover, a corresponding coupling or connecting part or the like. In this case, a further reference ultimately means any reference material that can be used in connection with upholstery for upholstered furniture and seats. Incidentally, the same applies to the purchase as such. Finally, the coupling region serves either for direct connection to the cover, a further cover or a corresponding coupling part, to which in turn the cover or the further cover can be attached directly or indirectly but can be.

It is very particularly advantageous if, on the one hand, a sewing area, in particular in the form of an attachment leg and, moreover, a coupling area, is provided on the second fixing means. In such an embodiment, the second fixing agent has a double function. On the one hand, it can - like the well-known catchment means - also be connected directly to the cover, on the other hand it can be used for coupling or connection with another cover or the like. For this purpose, a corresponding coupling part can be provided.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the second fixing means is formed as a U-shaped profile provided with between the U-legs coupling region, wherein a leg, in particular of the flag opposite legs, extended and formed as sewing leg. The other leg, which faces the flag, thereby represents the mounting leg with which the flag is connected. A pulling-in means with a second fixing means of the abovementioned type thus offers the possibility of firstly sewing on the upholstery to the sewing leg and, secondly, via the coupling area a further covering directly or indirectly via a corresponding coupling part which interacts with the coupling area. to connect with the catcher. Instead of the previously described embodiment of the further fixing means, it is also possible to form this, for example, as a tilting anchor, in particular in the form of a button or a strip. Such a tilting armature is then placed on the outside of the cover for profiling the pad, wherein either a lower area of the tilting armature or the flag is passed through a corresponding opening of the cover.

The flag itself consists of a fleece or another textile fabric. The fibers of the flag may in each case be natural fibers and / or man-made fibers of natural polymers, of synthetic polymers or of non-polymers. It is important in connection with the flag that the first and / or the second fixing means can be connected to the flag in a simple manner, be it by welding, gluing, sewing or by extrusion of one or both of the fixing means.

Like the second or further fixing means, the first fixing means may likewise have different configurations.

In a first alternative of the first fixing means, it is provided that the fixing means is rod-shaped, that is to say in the form of an elongated rod, for connection to a latching means or another connecting means. In this embodiment, at least one latching means, in particular in the form of one or more clips, or a channel having a slot is then located in the upholstery or below the upholstery on the seat, into which the rod-shaped fixing means can be inserted and, in particular, latched therein. In this embodiment, it is understood that the first fixing means has a thickness several times greater than the flag.

In the alternative mentioned above, there are basically two ways to form the rod. In an alternative, it is provided that the first fixing means is designed as a slotted profile bar, in particular made of plastic, wherein the flag is then received in the slot of the profile bar and firmly connected to the profile bar, in particular glued in the slot, extruded or welded.

In an alternative embodiment it is provided that the fixing means as a rod, in particular made of metal or plastic with a metal core, is formed, around which the flag is guided around to form a recording. In the case of In principle, it can be provided in this embodiment that the lug is two-lobed, with the receptacle for the rod then being located at the end.

In an alternative embodiment, the first fixing means is designed in the form of a hook. The hook has a fastening and a hook section. At the attachment portion of the hook is connected to the flag. This in turn lends itself to a bond, welding or sewing or extrusion, in which case a corresponding material of the hook is required. In particular, a hook made of plastic, preferably polypropylene, is suitable for this purpose. The hook is provided for engaging behind, for example, a wire, linkage or the like, which may in principle be provided in the upholstery body but also below the cushion body in the region of the seat base body. In a further alternative embodiment, the first fixing means is designed as a tilting armature, that is as a means which can be passed in the tilted or collapsed state through a corresponding opening of the cushion body of the pad and then assumes the anchor function in the unfolded state.

Moreover, the invention relates to a reference with at least one catchment means according to one of the preceding claims. The reference according to the invention is preferably characterized in that it is sewn on the underside with the further fixing means.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a cushion with a cushion body and a cover of the aforementioned type. It can be provided in principle that the further fixing means, as stated above, the underside is sewn to the cover or the upper side rests on the cover and this tensions for profile shaping.

Finally, the present invention also relates to a upholstered furniture or a seat, in particular a car seat with at least one pad of the aforementioned type.

FIGS. 14A to

FIG. 14C shows different shapes of first or second fixing means designed as a draw-in bar. FIG.

In the drawing, various catchment means 1 are shown, which are each provided for profiling an outside covered by a cover 2 pad base 4 of a pad 3. In this case, a reference 2 means any reference material that can be used to cover a pad 3. Incidentally, a cover in this sense also constitutes a cover material which is not applied directly to the upholstered base body 4 but which is provided, for example, to cover gaps between two cushion areas.

In the illustrated embodiments, the pad 3 each have a foamed pad base 4, to which the cover 2 is applied. In this case, the insertion means 1 serves to produce a linienformigen stitching or blind stitching 2a of the cover 2, in particular for upholstered furniture and upholstered seats 5. In Fig. 1 as an example representative of upholstered furniture, a seat 5 is shown in which a catchment means 1 in the region of the backrest. 6 is provided. The seat 5 is in the present case a car seat. However, the following statements are to be understood in the same way for seats in general and for upholstered furniture, even if this is not specified in detail. Furthermore, it is not shown that in the area of the seat part 7 of the seat 5 one or more insertion means 1 for producing a blind stitching 2a of the cover 2 can be provided in the same way.

It should be pointed out that the representation according to FIG. 1 is a schematic representation, in which the drawing-in means 1 is shown out of the section of the seat 5 for purposes of illustration and enlarged. The pulling-in means 1 has a lug 8 made of a textile material. The flag 8 is a one-piece flat textile section, which, as can be seen from FIG. 2, may be relatively elongated, but may also have a relatively short longitudinal extent, as can be seen from FIG. Ultimately, the flat portion or the flag 8 is characterized in that their length L and width B by a multiple each greater than their thickness D. It should be noted in this context that the illustrated length L, width B and thickness D of the flag 8 may vary. Thus, the length L of the lug 8 depends decisively on where the first fixing means 9 is fixed in the installed state, ie, for example, a fixation in the upholstery body 4 or outside of the upholstery body 4 on the seat 5 or on the base body of the seat on which Pad rests and is fixed takes place. In the former case, a shorter length L is provided, while in the fixation of the Einzugsmitteis 1 outside the pad base 4 on the seat 5, a greater length is provided. The width B is variable and depends on the arrangement options and the possibilities of fastening the catchment means 1 in the upholstery base body 4 or on the seat 5.

The flag 8 may consist of any textile material. In particular, it consists of a fleece. The fibers of the textile material may be natural and / or synthetic fibers. The flag 8 has at its one end a fixing means 9, which is also referred to below as the first fixing means. The first fixing means 9 is provided for fixing the pulling-in means 1 on the side of the pulling-in means 1 facing away from the cover 2. By way of example, FIG. 1 indicates a latching channel 10 in the upholstered base body 4 into which the first fixing means 9 is inserted. In order to make this possible, there is a slot 10a in the upholstered base body 4, which protrudes into the latching channel 10. About this slot 10a, the catchment means 1 can be introduced with the first fixing means 9.

It should be pointed out that instead of the latching connection described above, other mounting options in the upholstery body are possible, such as a Velcro connection, or on wires or at least one clip, wherein the aforementioned means can be provided in each case in the foam of the upholstery body. It is also possible to make an attachment via so-called Hogringe. These are rings that can be inserted through an opening of the lug 8, as shown in Fig. 4, and attached to another component on the seat base. In this type of fastening, the first fixing means 9 is encompassed without the first fixing means 9 having a holding or fixing function. In the pulling-in means 1 it is now provided that at the other end of the lug 8, ie opposite the first fixing means 9, a further fixing means 1 1, which is also referred to as a second fixing means 1 1, is provided for fixing the catchment means 1 the cover 2 facing side of Einzugsmitteis 1, wherein the second fixing means 1 1 is firmly connected to the flag 8.

As can be seen from the individual figures, the further fixing means 1 1 is beyond the end of the lug 8, to which the further fixing means 1 1 is connected to the lug 8. Thus, the further fixing means 1 1 ultimately extends the length of the catchment means 1 over the length L of the flag 8 addition. Only in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 1 is it so that the second fixing means 1 1 does not project beyond the lug 8. At the end, the second fixing means 1 1 is aligned with the end of the flag 8.

In the illustrated embodiments, the further fixing means 1 1 made of a thermoplastic material, in particular polypropylene or polyethylene, and is designed such that it can be sewn to the cover 2, as shown in particular in Fig. 1. The second fixing means 1 1 is extruded in the illustrated embodiments to the other end of the flag 8, but in principle it is also possible to provide other mounting options, such as welding, gluing and / or sewing. As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 3 and 6, the second fixing means 11 has an sewing leg 12, which is provided for sewing the cover 2, as can be seen in particular from FIG. The sewing leg 12 is a flat section projecting beyond the lug 8, which preferably has a small thickness with a length and width which are much greater than the thickness. Furthermore, the second fixing means 1 1 has a coupling region 13, which, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 12, is provided for coupling to a corresponding coupling part 14, which can be made of a plastic, for example. Ultimately, the coupling region 13 makes it possible to have a further cover or reference section independent of the one on the sewing counter! 12 fixed reference 2 to connect with the second fixing means 1 1.

It should be expressly pointed out that the use of the insertion means 1 is suitable and provided in particular for an application according to FIG. 12 is. This will be discussed in more detail below. In the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 and 8, the use of the insertion means 1 with the second fixing means 1 1 is not absolutely necessary, but readily possible. Ultimately, warehousing and logistical considerations may argue in favor of having only one inserter 1 for different applications.

In Fig. 13, an embodiment is shown, which corresponds substantially to the embodiment shown in Fig. 8, but the reference 2 is not sewn to the sewing leg 12 of the second fixing means 1 1. Instead, a coupling part 14 is provided on the reference 2, which engages in the coupling region 13 of the second fixing means 1 1 and fixed there or fixed.

In the specific embodiment, the second fixing means 1 1 is formed in the manner of a U-shaped profile with provided between the two legs 15, 16 coupling region 13, wherein the leg 15 is extended relative to the leg 16 and the extended portion forms the sewing leg 12 , The two legs 15, 16 are not parallel to each other, but are directed towards each other in the direction of their free ends. In this way, upon insertion of the further coupling part 14 into the coupling region 13, a resilient holding force results. Incidentally, a barb-like projection 17 is provided on the inside of the leg 15, which projection is provided on the coupling part 14 for cooperation with a corresponding projection 18. It is understood that in principle also on the leg 16 such a projection 17 could be provided. Incidentally, in principle, a plurality of projections in the coupling region 13 and / or on the coupling part 14 may be provided.

Instead of cooperating with the coupling part 14, it is also possible to introduce a provided with a hook sheet edge or a corresponding leg of the seat body in the coupling region 13, wherein the hook of the sheet metal edge then cooperates with the barb-like projection 17 in the coupling region 13, so that thereby gives a fixation.

9 and 10 embodiments are shown, in which the second fixing means 1 1 is designed in each case as an anchor, namely as a tilting armature. The tilting anchor can basically have the shape of a button or an elongated shape in the manner of a bar. In Fig. 1 1, an embodiment is shown in which the second fixing means 1 1 is formed as a flat band, which preferably extends over the entire length of the flag 8. The attachment of the second fixing means 1 1 can be done for example in a trim channel. For example, a fastening means in the upholstered base body 4 or else a groove provided in the rigid structure of the associated seat 5 or seat base body into which the flat section is inserted is suitable as the trim channel. If necessary, with an appropriate length of the flag 8, these can also be placed around the trim channel in order to ensure a secure fixation.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 12, a special application of the insertion means 1 is provided. In this application, a front seat portion 7a is provided on the seat portion 7 of the seat 5, which is basically the same as the main portion of the seat portion 7. However, the front seat portion 7a can be adjusted relative to the main portion of the seat portion 7. A typical application is the front adjustable area of a car seat. For bridging the gap 7b between the seat part 7 and the front seat area 7a, a reference piece 7c is provided. In the illustrated embodiment, the reference piece 7c is firmly connected to the front seat portion 7a, in particular sewn. At the other end, the reference part 7c is firmly connected to the coupling part 14a, preferably adhesively bonded. In this embodiment, the coupling part 14 is made of metal, wherein a plastic-coated wire is also possible. The exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 12 illustrates the dual function of the insertion means 1, which is ultimately used to connect the cover 2 of the seat part 7 via the sewing tab! 12 and the rest is provided for coupling the reference part 7c to bridge the gap 7b.

The figures also show different embodiments of the first fixing means 9, which is rod-shaped in various embodiments. Figs. 14A to 14C show possible cross-sectional shapes of rod-shaped fixing means 9. Here, the fixing means shown in Fig. 14A has a heart-like shape, while the first fixing means 9 shown in Fig. 14B has a rectangular or square cross-sectional shape. The cross-sectional shape of the first fixing means 9 shown in FIG. 14C corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the first fixing means 9 shown in FIG. 3, wherein, unlike the embodiment according to FIG. 3, however, two lugs 8 are provided and held in the first fixing means 9. Regardless of the type of training of the first fixing means 9 is provided for the connection in a possible embodiment, at least one channel or a corresponding locking means 19 within the cushion base 4 or in the region of the seat 5, wherein the rod-shaped fixing 9 then in the locking channel 10 and another latching or connecting means is used. Thus, it is shown in FIGS. 9 and 11 that the first fixing means 9 is located in a latching channel. In Fig. 10, an embodiment is shown, in which the first fixing means 9 is hook-shaped. The hook-shaped fixing means 9 engages behind a wire 19 as a connecting means.

Also, Figs. 7 to 1 1 leave open at which point the attachment of the first fixing means 9 takes place or at which point the locking channel 10 and the latching or connecting means or the wire 19 is provided. It should be pointed out that both the latching channel 10 or the latching means and the wire 9 can be located within the padding base body 4. But it is also possible that the detent channel 10 and the wire 19 are located outside of the pad base 4, so are provided on the seat 5 and the seat body, so that the flag 8 is passed through the pad base 4 and outside of the pad 3 on Seat 5 is attached.

Incidentally, FIGS. 2 and 4 on the one hand and FIGS. 5 and 7 on the other hand illustrate that the width B of the pulling-in means 1 can certainly vary. Thus, FIGS. 2 and 5 show relatively elongated catchment means 1, while FIGS. 4 and 7 show, by contrast, shorter catchment means 1. The width B of the catchment means 1 ultimately depends on the particular installation situation and the circumstances at the respective seat 5. The respective flag 8 can therefore be designed as a narrower or wider than a strip. All that matters is that the flag 8 is a one-piece strip with the same thickness over its entire length and width. Figs. 2 to 4 show an embodiment in which the first fixing means 9 is formed as a slotted profile bar made of plastic, wherein the flag 8 is received in the slot 20 of the profile bar. In the slot 20, the flag 8 is welded here. With regard to the concrete shape and design of the profile bar and the slot 20, reference is made in particular to EP 0 403 815 B1.

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the first fixing means 9 is formed as a metal rod, which has only one metal core, around which the lug 8 is guided around to form a receptacle 21. In this version The flag 8 is double-layered over its entire length. It should be pointed out that instead of using a metal rod as the first fixing means 9, a rod made of a different material is basically possible, which is then located in the receptacle 21.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 8, the first fixing means 9 is formed as a tilting armature. With regard to the specific embodiment of the tilting armature, reference is also made to EP 0 403 815 B1.

With regard to the individual embodiments of the first fixing means 9 and the second fixing means 1 1 it should be noted that it is also possible in principle to exchange the arrangement of the first fixing means 9 and the respective training, in such a way that the first fixing means 9 than the second Fixing 1 1 is to look at and vice versa. Thus, it is also possible to exchange the different configurations of the first fixing means 9 with each other and the different configurations of the second fixing means 1 1 with each other. Thus, for example, in the embodiment according to FIG. 11, instead of the slotted profiled bar, a hook corresponding to FIG. 10 may also be provided as the first fixing means 9. Furthermore, it is also possible that the first and second fixing means 9, 11 are identical in each case. This means that two identical fixing means are provided on opposite sides of the flag 8.

The attachment of the catchment means 1, regardless of its shape, usually looks like one of the two fixing means 9, 1 1 connected to the cover 2, in particular sewn. Then, the other fixing means is passed through the slot 10a in the cushion base body 4 to be fixed either in the cushion base 4 or outside the cushion base 4 on the seat body.
