Trim cover assembly and sewing method for forming same
First Claim
1. A trim cover assembly comprising:
- a) a first cover element including;
a surface cover element composed of;
a surface cover material having a first end region; and
a first foam wadding having a second end region;
a wadding cover including a main region and an end region;
a second thick foam wadding which is greater in pliability and thickness than said first foam wadding of said surface cover element;
said second thick foam wadding being interposed between said first foam wadding and said wadding cover;
said second thick foam wadding including;
a main thick region; and
a compressed end region formed by pressing and collapsing an end surface of the second thick foam wadding, said compressed end region being thereby thinner than said main thick region;
said first foam wadding residing between said surface cover material and said second thick foam wadding;
said main region of the wadding cover overlaying said main thick region of said second thick foam wadding; and
a sewn end portion consisting of;
a first sewn region defined by sewing said compressed end region of said second thick foam wadding to both said first end region of said surface cover material and said second end region of said first foam wadding, altogether; and
a second sewn region juxtaposed on and sewn with said first sewn region, said second sewn region being defined by placing said end region of said wadding cover on said compressed end region at said first sewn region and then sewing the end region of the wadding cover to the first sewn region;
andb) a second cover element including an end portion,wherein said end portion of said second cover element is sewn with said sewn end portion of said first cover element.

Abstract
A trim cover assembly of extremely soft property comprises a surface cover element, a wadding cover, and a thick foam wadding sandwiched therebetween, wherein the thick foam wadding has a compressed thin end surface region sewn with the surface cover element and wadding cover. Sewing method for forming such trim cover assembly involves: pressing and collapsing an end surface of the thick foam wadding in downwardly slantwise direction to provide a compressed thin area, thereby allowing direct access thereto of a conventional sewing machine; operating the sewing machine to sew the compressed thin area with the surface cover element, thereby producing a sewn trim cover having a compressed thin end region therein; and thereafter sewing the wadding cover with such sewn trim cover in correspondence with the compressed thin end region. As such, a trim cover assembly having the thick foam wadding is easily formed by the conventional sewing machine.
