1. An apparatus for attaching at least two distinct segments (5.1, 5.2) of a headrest cover connected at a seam (6) to a supporting body (2) comprising:
- a profile (9) having a rectangular shaped cross section and a first section (A) in latching engagement with the supporting body (2) and a second section (B) immediately adjoining the first section (A) being affixed to one of the cover segments (5.2) and a third section (C) immediately adjoining the second section (B) in spaced relationship from the first section (A) wherein the third section (C) has a stepped first side surface (16′
, 16″
) defining a recess (17) of rectangular shape adjacent the supporting body (2) for receiving the seam (6) of the cover segments (5.1, 5.2) and wherein the third section (C) further includes an oblique surface (19) extending from the stepped first side surface (16′
, 16″
) to a second side surface (18) adjacent the supporting body (2) being curved along first and second radii (R3, R4) to define a gap between the profile (9) and the supporting body (2) for receiving one of the cover segments (5.2).
