Abstract
A bonding die for forming an automotive seat, which comprises a lower die member, an upper die member movable towards and away from the lower die member, and an elevation mechanism operable at the lower die member. A foam cushion member secured to the upper die member may be pressed and bonded to a trim cover assembly placed on the lower die member so as to produce a bonded unit for forming the automotive seat. At the completion of this bonding, the elevation mechanism is operated to lift and float the bonded unit from the lower die member to provide a state where the bonded unit may be smoothly taken out from the lower die member without tear and damage caused in the trim cover assembly.
