Abstract
A seat back assembling device designed for engaging two hook members of an incomplete seat back unit with each other to close the corresponding opened side thereof so as to form a complete seat back. In the device, all required operative mechanisms are collectively disposed to automatically assemble such incomplete seat back unit. Namely, the incomplete seat back unit is pressingly supported by a pressing mechanism, and the two hook members of the incomplete seat back unit are provisionally secured and brought to engagement with each other, by a positioning mechanism and a positioning/engaging mechanism. The hook members thus engaged together are subject to a further positive mutual engagement by way of a positive engagement mechanism. All those mechanisms are disposed as close as possible to a part of the device, such as a support base frame, without requiring other separate robot systems.
