Abstract
The device serves to fasten the edge (7) of the cover (6) of the cushion constituting a seat back (5) to the outer flange of a channel (4) that is open towards the rear and that is provided at the edge of a plate (3) constituting framework for said cushion, the fastening device comprising a J-section member (9) attached to the edge of said cover. Said flange is firstly extended outwardly by a lateral gutter (10, 11) that is open in the opposite direction to the channel, and secondly it has a series of holes (12) punched out therein so as to form a corresponding number of tabs (13) extending parallel to the general plane of the plate, and towards the inside of the channel. The J-section member has a J-shaped head and a hook portion (14) that extends the large flap of the J-shape at right angles and that has a bead (16) formed on one side thereof such that when fastened, the hook is located astride the series of punched-out tabs while the extension and its bead are placed in contact with the outer flange (11) of the gutter.
