Abstract

See full text

An automotive seat assembly comprising a trim cover material having a top surface and a bottom surface with a peripheral edge portion extending along one side thereof. A continuous stitching material passes through and between a number of apertures along the trim cover to form a first seam along the top surface and a second seam along the bottom surface. A drawstring cord is overlaid along the top surface of the trim cover between the first seam and the edge portion. The stitching material loops around a continuous first enclosure material to pull the first enclosure material against the cord and the top surface of the trim cover. Similarly, the stitching material loops around the second enclosure material to pull the second enclosure material against the bottom surface of the trim cover. The first enclosure material loops around the second enclosure material adjacent the edge portion of the trim cover to form a first channel between the edge and the first seam along the top surface to slidably retain the cord against the top surface of the trim cover.
