Abstract
An apparatus for manufacturing an automotive seat comprises a pair of upper and lower dies, the former die being adapted to mount thereupon a foam cushion member having a metallic frame embedded therein, and the latter die being adapted to mount an inside-out turned top cover member thereon. In the upper die, arranged are plural electromagnets. Under the influence of magnetic force given by the electromagnets, the cushion member with the metallic frame is attracted to and retained by the upper die, and while in such state, lowering and pressing the upper die against the top cover member causes bonding together the cushion and top cover members.
