A seat trim cover includes a flexible web and a plurality of molded clips spaced-apart at predetermined intervals along a distal edge of the web. Each of the clips includes a base attached to the web and one or more latch elements extending from the base to a point beyond the distal edge of the web. The latch elements of each clip are configured to clasp a cushion retainer when forced into engagement with the retainer.

Securing seat trim covers to foam cushions

An edge-beaded fastener product such as a cushion cover tie-down has a molded profile bead secured to and extending along a flexible strip adjacent a longitudinal edge of the strip. The profile bead has a shoulder or an inboard sidewall extending away from the strip, such as for retaining a clip or hog ring. The flexible strip may have a reinforced region, inboard of the shoulder, in which resin contiguous with resin forming the profile bead encapsulates surface features of the strip. The product is made by molding resin directly onto the strip. Multiple lanes of resin may be molded on a single substrate, which is severed to form individual strips with severed, exposed strip edges.

Longitudinal bead molding

A fastening product, in the form of a flexible, sheet-form substrate () having a surface (); a plurality of walls () extending from the surface () and defining therebetween an array () of cells () bounded by the walls () such that the walls separate adjacent cells of the array, the substrate () forming a floor () of each cell; and a plurality of fastener elements () extending from the surface () and interspersed among the cells (). The fastener elements having heads () spaced above the surface () to define loop engagement overhangs () disposed within the cells. The cells () of the array () are arranged in columns () and rows (), each column and each row comprising at least three of the cells, such that there exists at least one closed path () within the substrate () that fully circumscribes at least one of the cells.
