Abstract
A fastening device for detachably fitting protective covers on upholstered foam material, such as seat cushions, seat backs or mattresses, by means of upholstery buttons which can be attached to the fastening device in the manner of snap fasteners. The fastening device consists of a connecting tape (1) on both ends of which are molded attached end pieces (2, 3) which have spherical heads (4) and (5) onto which the upholstery buttons can be pressed. One attached end piece (2) has on the side facing the tape a cylindrical stem (12) and on the stem, at a short distance from the head, is a stop plate (6) for holding the attached end piece (2) against one side of the foam. The other attached end piece has on its side facing the tape, a stem (12) on which is located, at a short distance from its head (5), a smaller support plate (7) whose diameter corresponds approximately to the diameter of the spherical head (5). This plate serves as support for an anchor plate (8 ) that bears against the other side of the foam after the end piece (3) has been pulled through the foam object.
