Abstract

The invention relates to a fastening system for a seat for attaching upholstery to the foam cushion part of a seat having an anchoring part (10) which can be attached in anchoring elements (16) foamed into the cushion part and which for reliable attachment has two web bodies (24) which delimit between themselves a receiving space (24) for accommodating a connecting part (12) in which the upholstery can be attached.

Claims

1. Fastening system for a seat, especially a vehicle or aircraft passenger seat, for attaching upholstery to the cushion foam part of the seat, having

at least one anchoring part (10) made as a profile strip, which anchoring part can be connected to the upholstery which for this purpose acts on at least one connecting part (12) which engages the assignable anchoring part (10) for producing a strong connection, and

at least one interlocking part (14) which can be at least partially foamed into the cushion foam part and which with two opposing interlocking elements (18) delimits a clamping channel (18), engaging which the anchoring part (10) with its anchoring elements (20) makes contact with the assignable interlocking elements (15), by fitting under them, characterized in that the anchoring part (10) has two web bodies (24) which delimit a receiving space (26) for holding the connecting part (14) and which protrude with a definable projection over the actual anchor body (28) of the anchoring part (10) and in the interlocked attached state project out of the clamping channel (18) with its interlocking elements (16) in the direction of the upholstery to be attached.

2. The fastening system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the height of the projecting web bodies (24) is greater than or equal to the vertical distance between one of the web bodies (24) and the outermost end of the adjacent anchoring element (20).

3. The fastening system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the height of the receiving space (20) between pairs of web bodies (24) is essentially equal to the vertical distance between the two outermost ends of one pair of anchoring elements (20).

4. The fastening system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the width of the respective web body (24) is essentially twice the width of the receiving space (26).

5. The fastening system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the anchor body (28) is designed as an arrowhead with anchoring elements (20) which point down to either side and which delimit an engagement space (30) between themselves and each respective assignable web body (24) for engaging the interlocking elements (16).

6. The fastening system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the total width of two web bodies (24) with the receiving space (28) corresponds essentially to the width of the anchoring element (20) measured along a 45°

line X which ends at the lowest point of the engagement space (30).

7. The fastening system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the height of the clamping channel (18) between the pairs of interlocking elements (16) is slightly greater than the engagement height of the anchor body (28) in the clamping channel (18).

8. The fastening system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the anchoring part (10) consists of an extrudable plastic, especially in the form of polyester, polystyrene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile-polybutadiene-styrene graft polymer (ABS) or mixtures thereof.

9. Anchoring part for a fastening system as claimed in claim 1, wherein it has two web bodies (24) which project vertically on the anchor body (28) of the anchoring part, which delimit a receiving space (26) for accommodating the connecting part (12), and which protrude with a definable projection over the anchor body (28), and wherein the connecting part (12) projects out of the receiving space (26) as a flexible attachment plate, a flat woven fabric or knit fabric.

10. The anchoring part as claimed in claim 9, wherein the connecting part (12) consists of a plastic material, especially polyester, with a melting point which is higher than the melting point of the anchor body (28).
