Abstract
A vehicle seat is provided which has a pad member having a depression on its upper surface, adhesive material disposed in the depression in the pad member and a top member adhered to the pad member at the depression by the adhesive material, whereby a depression is formed in the top member and a number of decorative creases are formed along the periphery of the adhered portion of the top member. Alternatively, the top member can have a depression on its upper surface, adhesive material can be disposed on the under surface of the top member below the depression, and a pad member can be adhered to the top member at the depression by the adhesive material whereby a number of decorative creases are formed along the periphery of the adhered portion of the top member. The top member can be either a single sheet of material or an assembly formed of a sheet of material, foamed wadding, and a wadding cover. The upper surface of the top member can be provided with integral or independent buttons, with the parts of the top member immediately below the buttons adhered to depressions formed on the pad member, to form a seat with decorative buttons on its surface. The portions of the assembly forming the top member are preferably formed of an adhesible hot-melt material. The portions forming the top member assembly can be welded to form a button, the portion of the top member below the buttons being adhered to recesses in the pad member. Access holes can be provided in the recesses of the pad members so that adhesive material can be injected from the bottom side of the seat via an injector tool in order to provide adhesive material for adhering the top member to the recesses of the pad member.
