Abstract
A seat trim assembly particularly adapted for automotive seat backs having a center hole within the head restraint area. A halo ring member is provided having a radially projecting flange which is large enough to prevent the halo ring from being pulled completely through the seat back center hole. The inner edge of the halo ring forms a reversely bent edge channel. A break-over strip is stitched or bonded to the trim cover and is inserted within the halo ring edge channel. Once the break-over strip is placed into the edge channel, the halo ring is pulled such that the radially projecting flange supports a portion of the trim cover surrounding the seat back hole. In an alternate embodiment, the halo ring is integrated into a seat back rear panel.
