Upholstery member
An upholstery member includes a base board ( 101 ) having at least one base board opening ( 116 ), a fixation arrangement ( 140 ), and a resilient wadding ( 102 ). The wadding ( 102 ) is pressed at least to some extent through the base board opening ( 116 ) and connected to the fixation arrangement ( 140 ), thereby forming an indent ( 130 ) in the upholstery member ( 100 ). Further, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing the upholstery member comprising the steps of providing ( 310 ) a base board ( 101 ) having at least one base board opening ( 116 ) and being covered with a wadding ( 102 ) on a front side of said base board ( 101 ), passing ( 320 ) the wadding ( 102 ) through said base board opening ( 116 ), whereby the indent ( 13 ) is formed, and securing ( 330 ) the position of the wadding ( 102 ) relative the base board ( 101 ).

An upholstery member, comprising a base board having at least one base board opening, a fixation arrangement, and a resilient wadding wherein said wadding is pressed at least to some extent through the base board opening and connected to the fixation arrangement, thereby forming an indent in the upholstery member,
wherein said fixation arrangement comprises a fastener configured to engage the wadding from an exterior side of the upholstery member, and an associated attachment device configured to receive said fastener, wherein the attachment device is an integral structure, and
wherein said fastener is fixed to a rear side of the attachment device.
2. The upholstery member according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment device is tapered comprising a cavity configured to receive the wadding.
3. The upholstery member according to claim 2 , wherein the depth of the cavity is greater than the thickness of the wadding.
4. The upholstery member according to claim 1 , wherein the fastener is longer than the thickness of the wadding.
5. The upholstery member according to claim 1 , wherein said attachment device is configured to fit in said base board opening such that the attachment device is arranged on a rear side of the base board.
6. The upholstery member according to claim 1 , wherein said attachment device comprises a circumferential flange having a diameter D F being substantially equal to a diameter D B of an inner circumference of said base board opening.
7. The upholstery member according to claim 1 , wherein said attachment device further comprises an outer slit that allows for a deformation of said attachment device when compression force is applied thereto.
8. The upholstery member according to claim 1 , wherein the fastener comprises a pin and a connectable locking member, at least part of the pin being configured pass through the wadding, the base board opening and the attachment device whereby the locking member is configured to fixate the position of said pin relative the attachment device.
9. The upholstery member according to claim 8 , wherein said attachment device comprises a centre opening configured to receive said pin.
10. The upholstery member according to claim 9 , wherein said attachment device further comprises at least one outer recess.
11. The upholstery member according to claim 10 , wherein said centre opening is associated with the outer recess through a centre slit.
12. The upholstery member according to claim 9 , wherein said pin further comprises a loop configured to receive the locking member.
13. The upholstery member according to claim 1 , further comprising a cover sheet covering at least the exterior side of said wadding.
14. The upholstery member according to claim 1 , wherein the upholstery member is an upholstered furniture member.
15. The upholstery member according to claim 14 , wherein the upholstered furniture member is a headboard of a bed, a back seat, an arm rest, or a cushion seat of a sofa or chair.
16. The upholstery member according to claim 1 , wherein the wadding has a thickness of preferably between 1 cm and 5 cm, more preferably between 1.5 cm and 4 cm, and most preferred about 2 cm.
17. The upholstery member according to claim 1 , wherein the upholstery member is sound absorbing member.
18. A method for manufacturing an upholstery member having at least one indent, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
providing a base board having at least one base board opening and being covered with a wadding on a front side of said base board;
providing a fixation arrangement comprising a fastener configured to engage the wadding from an exterior side of the upholstery member, and an associated attachment device configured to receive said fastener, wherein the attachment device is an integral structure;
passing the wadding through said base board opening, whereby the indent is formed, and
securing the position of the wadding relative the base board by fixing the fastener to a rear side of the attachment device.
19. The method according to claim 18 , further comprising a step of arranging an attachment device on a rear side of the base board using a fixation arrangement before passing the wadding through the base board opening.
20. The method according to claim 19 , wherein during the arranging step, the attachment device is fitted in the base board opening.
21. The method according to claim 18 , wherein during the passing step, the fastener engages and forces at least parts of the wadding through the base board opening.
22. The method according to claim 18 , wherein during the passing step, a pin of the fastener is pushed through the wadding and through the base board opening.
23. The method according to claim 22 , wherein the pin is fixed on a rear side of the attachment device.
24. The method according to claim 23 , wherein the pin is fixed on the rear side of the attachment device by using a locking member.
25. The method according to claim 22 , wherein during the passing step, the pin of the fastener is pushed through the wadding and through the base board opening and through a centre opening of the attachment device.
