Abstract
Reinforcement is given in a vehicle seat with such an arrangement that a plurality of recessions and at least one decorative groove are scatteringly formed in each of two spaced-apart protuberant side support portions of the vehicle seat. A foaming is effected to create a foam padding of a predetermined shape of the seat having two spaced-apart protuberant side support portions, such as to define a plurality of first recessions and at least one first decorative groove in each of those two side support portions, after which, a trim cover assembly is pressingly bonded to the thus-formed foaming pad, thereby forcibly inserting and bonding plural points of the trim cover assembly in those first recessions and decorative groove of padding. A resulting seat is therefore provided not only with a highly enlarged area of cured and hardened adhesive layer, but also with an intensified stretched state of trim cover assembly, whereby an increased reinforcement is given to both two side support portions of the seat.
