CHAIR UPHOLSTERY ATTACHMENT AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A method of constructing a seating arrangement, comprising:
- providing a first chair structure comprising a first polymeric material having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first surface and the second surface cooperating to define a first thickness therebetween, the first chair structure including at least one attachment area;
providing a second chair structure;
locating the second chair structure proximate the first chair structure such that at least a portion of the second chair structure covers the first chair structure;
providing at least one staple member comprising a second polymeric material, wherein the second polymeric material of the at least one staple member may be recycled with the first polymeric material of the first chair structure without requiring separation of the at least one staple from the first chair component; and
inserting the at least one staple member through the first chair structure and the second chair structure, thereby securing the first chair structure to the second chair structure.

16. A method of constructing a seating arrangement, comprising:
-
providing a first chair structure comprising a first polymeric material having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first chair structure including a densely-spaced array of apertures extending between the first and second surfaces; providing a second chair structure; locating the second chair structure proximate the first chair structure such that at least a portion of the second chair structure obscures at least a portion of the densely-spaced array of apertures; providing at least one fastener comprising a second polymeric material; and securing the second chair structure with the first chair structure by inserting the at least one fastener into at least one of the obscured apertures of the densely-spaced array of apertures. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
