Abstract

The present invention relates to an alignment jig for aligning leather sheet and a Velcro structure before sewing to couple the leather sheet and the Velcro structure which form a vehicle seat cover. The guide part having the accommodation groove into which the Velcro structure can be inserted and fixed is formed on the lower plate of the alignment jig, and the penetration part is formed in the upper plate thereof. Accordingly, after the Velcro structure is inserted and fixed into the accommodation groove of the guide part, when the leather sheet is placed thereon and the upper plate is closed, the leather sheet and the Velcro structure are aligned automatically, and then, when sewing is performed through the penetration part of the upper plate, the Velcro structure can be accurately aligned and coupled on a predetermined curved path of the leather sheet.

Claims (9)

1. An alignment jig for a leather sheet and a hook-and-loop fastener for manufacturing a vehicle seat cover, comprising:

a lower plate accommodating the hook-and-loop fastener and the leather sheet; and

an upper plate configured to rotate by being coupled to the lower plate via a hinge shaft,

wherein, the lower plate comprises a guide part configured for the hook-and-loop fastener to be inserted and fixed,

wherein the upper plate comprises a penetration hole disposed at a position corresponding to the guide part,

wherein the guide part comprises an accommodation groove having a curved shape along an entire length of the guide part and into which the hook-and-loop fastener is configured to be inserted,

wherein the hook-and-loop fastener surrounds a flexible core and connected to a connection member extended from the hook-and-loop fastener and configured to connect to the leather sheet, and

wherein the accommodation groove comprises an open portion on a surface opposite to the upper plate such that the flexible core is configured to be inserted into the open portion along the accommodation groove.

2. The alignment jig according to claim 1 , wherein the penetration hole of the upper plate is formed in a wider area than the guide part of the lower plate.
