Profile for fastening a cover on a vehicular seat headrest
View Patent ↗A profile ( 9 ) which can be connected to a cover ( 4 ) serves to fasten the cover ( 4 ) on a supporting body ( 2 ). According to the invention, it is provided that the profile has a recess ( 17 ) for receiving a connecting region, in particular a seam ( 6 ), of cover segments ( 5.1, 5.2 ) of an at least two-piece cover.
1. An apparatus attaching at least two distinct segments ( 5 . 1 , 5 . 2 ) of a cover connected at a seam ( 6 ) to a supporting body ( 2 ) comprising: a profile ( 9 ) having a first section (A) in latching engagement with a channel ( 8 ) of the supporting body ( 2 ) in a rotationally fixed manner in the channel ( 8 ) and a second section (B) adjoining the first section (A), the second section (B) being directly sewn to one of the cover segments ( 5 . 2 ), and a third section (C) adjoining the second section (B) in spaced relationship from the first section (A) wherein the third section (C) has a recess ( 17 ) facing the supporting body ( 2 ) receiving the seam ( 6 ) of the cover segments ( 5 . 1 , 5 . 2 ) therebetween and wherein the third section (C) further includes a region between said recess ( 17 ) and said second section ( 13 ) deflecting the one of the cover segments ( 5 . 1 , 5 . 2 ) sewn to the second section into the recess.
2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first section (A) is supported at least in two corner regions of a polygonal cross section of the channel ( 8 ).
3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first section (A) essentially fills a region of the channel ( 8 ).
4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second section (B) is of thin-walled design in comparison to the first section (A) and the third section (C).
5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the recess ( 17 ) is formed in a corner region of the third section (C), which corner region faces the supporting body ( 2 ).
6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third section (C) is provided with the region, which is arranged between the recess ( 17 ) and the second section (B), for deflecting the cover by an angle of 90° to 130°.
7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the profile ( 9 ) is extruded from a foamed plastic.
8. A headrest ( 1 ) comprising:
a supporting body ( 2 ) having a peripheral edge defining a channel ( 8 );
a cover ( 4 ) having at least two distinct segments ( 5 . 1 , 5 . 2 ) joined together along a seam ( 6 );
a profile ( 9 ) having a rectangular cross section and a first section (A) rotationally fixed within the channel ( 8 ) of the supporting body ( 2 ) and a second section (B) adjoining the first section (A) being directly sewn to one of the cover segments ( 5 . 2 );
and wherein the profile ( 9 ) including a third section (C) adjoining the second section (B) in spaced relationship from the first section (A) wherein the third section (C) has a recess ( 17 ) adjacent the supporting body for receiving the seam ( 6 ) of the cover segments ( 5 . 1 , 5 . 2 ) therebetween and wherein the third section (C) further includes a region between said recess ( 17 ) and said second section (B) for deflecting the one of the cover segments ( 5 . 1 , 5 . 2 ) sewn to the second section into the recess.
9. The headrest as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the first section (A) is supported at least in two corner regions of a polygonal cross section of the channel ( 8 ).
10. The headrest as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first section (A) essentially fills the assigned region of the channel ( 8 ).
11. The headrest as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the second section (B) is of thin-walled design in comparison to the first section (A) and the third section (C).
12. The headrest as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the recess ( 17 ) is formed in a corner region of the third section (C), which corner region faces the supporting body ( 2 ).
13. The headrest as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the third section (C) is provided with the region, which is arranged between the recess ( 17 ) and the second section (B), for deflecting the cover by an angle of 90° to 130°.
14. The headrest as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the profile ( 9 ) is extruded from a foamed plastic.
