Abstract
A method of forming trim cover being one of elements constituting a seat which is used for furniture or as an automobile seat, comprises feeding an assembly of a sheet of covering material and wadding material, with the covering sheet side of the assembly turned upward, onto support means for receiving and supporting the assembly thereon. The support means has at least one hole of a desired predetermined shape. A portion of the assembly substantially positionally corresponding to at least one hole is pressed downwardly to cause a portion of the wadding material of the assembly positionally corresponding to the hole of the support means to be protruded downwardly from the support means through the hole of the support means. The protruded portion of the wading material of the assembly is cut, while the same portion of the assembly is still pressed downwardly. The assembly is advanced to a backing sheet laminating station. A sheet of the backing material sticks onto the wadding material side of the assembly by means of backing sheet sticking means, while the same portion of the assembly is pressed against the backing sheet sticking means, whereby a finished product having at least one indent of a predetermined shape appreciated as an ornamental pattern therein may be produced. Also, an apparatus for forming trim cover is disclosed.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
