JPS5938954Y2 - Integrally molded button on the seat skin - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to an integrally molded button for a vehicle seat skin.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the internal structure of a conventional button-equipped sheet, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of section A in FIG. 1.

In Figures 1 and 2, 1 is a seat frame;
2 is a spring, 3 is a soft elastic pad, 4 is a seat skin, 5 is a button, 6 is a retractable string, and 7 is a stopper.

The button 5 is generally fixed to the seat skin 4, and after covering the pad 3 with the skin 4, it is retracted with a retractable string 6 and is hooked to the spring 2 or the like with a stopper 7 from the back side.

In this way, the button 5 is intended to partially tighten the pad 3 and the skin 4, and also to create irregularities and wrinkles on the sheet surface, thereby creating a luxurious aesthetic appearance.

The button structure in this case is composed of an upper lid 8, a lower lid 9, a button skin 10, and a backing plate 11. A retracting hook 16 is fixed to the lid 8, and a retracting hook 16 is fixed to the lower lid 9 to prevent the button from rotating. There are claws 12.

The button 5 is formed on the lower lid 9 by caulking the lid 8 and the button skin 10 together.

Next, in order to attach the molded button 5 to the outer skin 4, the claw 12 of the lower lid 9 is penetrated through the outer skin 4, the patch plate 11 is applied, and the claw 12 is bent.

Conventionally, due to the above configuration, the structure of the button itself was complicated, and when attaching it to the seat skin, it was necessary to determine the mounting position and direction for each button, which resulted in high costs. There was a problem with the lack of quality stability when attaching to the epidermis.

The present invention was developed in view of the drawbacks of the conventional buttons.

As shown in FIG. 3, the button of the present invention includes a seat cover 4,
It is composed of a button core material 13 and a backing cloth.

The button core material 13 is made of metal, synthetic resin, or the like and is molded into an arbitrary shape, and a hanging portion, that is, a retraction hook 16 is provided by being fixed or integrally molded.

The backing cloth 14 is made of vinyl leather, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, or the like.

The button is formed by using a mold 15 as shown in Fig. 3, and after squeezing the seat skin 4 with the button core material 13, the seat skin 4 and the backing fabric 14 are heated internally by high frequency heat generation with a constant width around the outer periphery of the button core material 13. It is completed by welding or fixing with adhesive.

Note that if special button retraction strength is required, machine stitching may be added to the outer periphery of the button.

According to ``2'', the seal is attached like a general covered button.
A button is molded from the same material as the skin.

Of course, you can shape the bottoms of multiple buttons at the same time.

Even when this button is used, the sheet configuration other than the button remains the same as before.

Although the present invention has been described above as an embodiment of a button retractable type, by removing the retracting hook 16 of the button core material 13, it can be applied as a button structure when retracting the button is not particularly required.

Adopting the integrally molded button of the present invention has the following effects.

(b) Since the molded product allows multiple buttons to be molded and fixed to the seat skin at the same time, it eliminates the hassle of forming the bottom of each button separately and attaching them to the seat skin one by one, which was the case with conventional buttons, reducing man-hours. can do.

(b) Compared to the conventional method of attaching buttons one by one to the seat skin, the button position and directionality are more stable in terms of quality.

(/→ Since the button skin uses the seat skin, covered buttons that are exactly the same as the seat skin can be made.
