Abstract
An improvement in a fastening assembly for upholstery material on the rail of a metal frame in furniture seats or the like. The frame rail includes an outer member and a member extending inwardly of it along one of its edges; i.e., a flange formed on the web of a channel, for example. A first flexible fastening element is secured to said flange and has a plurality of tiny loops formed in it. A second flexible fastening element is secured to the periphery of the upholstery material and has a plurality of tiny gripping fingers formed in it. The fingers are pressed perpendicularly into the loops, causing them to interlock. The upholstery material drawn tight around the frame exerts stress on its fastening elements substantially only in shear.
