See full text

A method for bonding a cover fabric to a cushion body to form a seating component, preferably a seat cushion of a vehicle seat assembly, includes the step of supplying a heated atmosphere, preferably steam under pressure, to a forming tool of a forming apparatus, the forming tool diffusing the heated atmosphere and passing the heated atmosphere out of the tool, through the cover fabric, and into the cushion body to melt an adhesive layer between the cushion body and the cover fabric, while the cushion body and cover fabric are subjected to a pressurized environment, preferably by locating the forming apparatus, the cover fabric, and the cushion body in a pressure chamber maintained at relatively high pressure.
