Abstract
The present invention is directed to a molded foamed automobile cushion having a deep groove and an upholstery cover secured thereto by a touch fastener having cooperating hook and loop elements carried by the cushion and cover. One element of the touch fastener is molded into a deep groove in the cushion and the other element is secured to the upholstery. The hook elements on both sides of the groove are unidirectional, when assembled, and have their concave surfaces facing in the same direction to permit easy entry of the upholstery into the groove and providing maximum resistance to removal of the upholstery from the groove.
