Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a retracting member for a seat cover that covers a vehicle seat such as an automobile.

(Prior art) Seat covers that cover the seats of vehicles such as automobiles have a flexible belt-like material such as cotton fabric sewn integrally on the back side of the seam line, and the seat cover is sewn integrally with a flexible belt-like material such as cotton cloth, which is pulled into the seat frame. However, in order to incorporate a seat heater into this type of seat cover, slits for inserting and holding the seat heater are arranged in the width direction at required intervals in this flexible strip-shaped main body. There is a tendency to insert and hold the seat heater in the seat.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, when a retracting member made of a flexible belt-like material such as cotton cloth with slits for inserting and holding the seat heater arranged at required intervals in the width direction is pulled into the seat frame, the required intervals cannot be maintained. The slits arranged in the width direction open in response to retraction force, and as a result, retraction force is applied at required intervals to the sewn parts of the flexible belt-shaped seat cover. As a result, the retracting force is no longer applied uniformly to the entire seam line of the seat cover, and as a result, the seat cover surface partially wrinkles due to insufficient retraction, leaving a major problem in that the surface finish is poor.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention aims to provide a seat cover retracting member that solves the above-mentioned problems, and the seat heater is inserted and held in a flexible belt-like main body sewn to the back of the seat cover. In the retractable member for a seat cover, in which slits for use are arranged in the width direction at required intervals, at least a portion of the belt-shaped main body above the arrangement line of the slits is formed into a rigid band portion continuous in the width direction. It is characterized by:

(Function) Similar to the conventional seat cover retracting member of this type, the retracting member of such a seat cover pulls the belt-shaped main body into the seat frame by hog ring or the like, and also arranges the belt-shaped main body at a required interval in the width direction. The seat heater can be used by inserting and holding the seat heater through the provided slit.

(Embodiments) Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to illustrated embodiments.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a seat cover made of a plurality of cut pieces of skin material sewn into a bag shape, and a slit 3 for inserting and holding a seat heater is formed in a flexible belt-shaped main body 2 at the sewing line part on the back side of the seat cover 1. The retractable members of the seat cover, which are disposed at required intervals in the width direction, are integrally sewn together with their upper edges. In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the strip main body 2 is made of hard synthetic resin above a strip-shaped recess 2a made of hard synthetic resin with a thickness of 1 mm and a width of 30 mm. A strip-shaped sewn portion 2b is integrally molded, and a number of slits 3 for inserting and holding the seat heater are arranged in the width direction at required intervals in the middle of the strip-shaped retracting portion 2a made of hard synthetic resin. However, the entire retracting portion 2a including the upper part of the arrangement line of the slits 3 above the retracting portion 2a is formed into a rigid band portion 4 continuous in the width direction, but in the second embodiment shown in FIG. A retracting part 2a is formed by folding back the lower part of the belt-like cotton cloth and sewing the lower end of the sewn part 2b, and a number of slits 3 for inserting and holding the seat heaters are provided in the middle of the retracting part 2a of the belt-like main body 2. Thin strips of polypropylene resin with a thickness of 1 mm and a width of 5 mm are placed in the width direction at required intervals, and a thin strip of polypropylene resin with a thickness of 1 mm and a width of 5 mm is simultaneously placed in the bag stitched portion above the arrangement line of the slits 3 above the recessed portion 2a. This is sewn to form a rigid band portion 4 that is continuous in the width direction. In the first embodiment, reference numeral 5 denotes a hole for engaging a hog ring provided below the strip-shaped retracting portion 2a of the strip-shaped main body 2 made of hard synthetic resin.

With this structure, the cushion material A placed on the seat frame is covered with the seat cover 1, and the belt-shaped main body 2 is drawn into the seat frame by a hog ring, etc. The use of the seat heater by inserting it through the slits 3 arranged in the direction is similar to the retracting member of this type of conventional seat cover, but in the present invention, at least the alignment line of the slits 3 in the strip main body 2 is used. Since the upper part is formed into a rigid band part 4 that is continuous in the width direction, when the retracting member is pulled into the seat frame, it is arranged in the width direction at a required interval on the flexible band-shaped main body 2. Even if the slit 3 opens due to a retraction force, the rigid band 4 that is continuous in the width direction at least in the upper part of the alignment line of the slit 3 prevents the sewing area above the rigid band 4 from being closed. An equal retracting force acts on each part of 2b, and the entire seam line with the seat cover 1 is evenly retracted, so that wrinkles do not occur on the surface of the seat cover 1 due to insufficient retraction. This results in an attractive cover with a good surface finish.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above description, the present invention not only allows the cover to be hung in a good-looking manner without causing wrinkles on the surface of the seat cover due to insufficient retraction, but also allows the seat heater to be installed using a slit. It is possible to provide a seat cover retracting member that does not impair the feature of being able to insert and hold accurately and easily, and has the advantage that it can be provided at a low cost due to its simple structure, and has extremely high practical value. .
