The cushion pad 50 includes a main plate front main pad 52 that supports a thigh portion of a seated occupant (not shown), a back plate main pad 54 that supports a butt portion of the seated occupant, and the pads 52 and 54. The top plate side pads (pads formed in a raised shape) 56 and 56 located on the left and right are integrally formed. The above-described suspension grooves 58 are formed at the boundaries between the pads 52, 54, and 56, respectively.

  A wire member 60 is insert-molded along the longitudinal direction of the bottom surface 58a of the hanging groove 58 (refer to a partially enlarged view in FIG. 4). Further, of the bottom surface 58 a of the hanging groove 58, notches 62 and 62 are formed on the bottom surface 58 a at a position corresponding to the hook member 10 of the clip 4 by notching the left and right of the wire member 60 in the axial direction. . The cushion pad 50 is configured in this way.

  Subsequently, a process of covering the above-described seat cover 30 on the cushion pad 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, among the five clips 4 of the seat cover 30, the pushing portion 22 of the clip 4 sewn to the hanging terminal 34 a of the top plate rear cover 34 and the hanging terminal 36 a of the left top plate side cover 36 is used. While pushing with a finger (not shown), the clip 4 is inserted into the hanging groove 58 (see FIGS. 5 and 6).

  When the substantially J-shaped bent portion of the hook portion 20 reaches the notch 62, the hook member 10 is tilted against the elasticity of the rear top main pad 54 and the left top plate side pad 56, and the hook portion 20 The tip 20a is passed through the standing wall 64 below the wire member 60 (see FIG. 7). When this penetration is completed, the hook portion 20 hooks the wire member 60, so that the suspension terminal 34 a of the top plate rear cover 34 and the suspension terminal 36 a of the left top plate side cover 36 are connected to the suspension groove 58 of the cushion pad 50. (See FIG. 8).

  This fastening is also performed on the remaining four clips 4. Thereafter, the terminal located on the bottom side of the seat cover 30 is fixed to the cushion pad 50 with a clip and a string (not shown). The seat cover 30 is covered by the cushion pad 50 in this way.

  In addition, as already demonstrated, the clip 4 is sewn so that the hook part 20 may be located inside a vehicle seat. Therefore, when the seat cover 30 is covered with the cushion pad 50 as described above, the cloth member 12 is also positioned inside the vehicle seat in the hanging groove 58, as is apparent from FIG. Therefore, the top cover 34 can be covered along the shape of the back main pad 54. That is, the upper edge of the suspension groove 58 on the top plate rear main pad 54 side can be covered with a small bending radius (“R” in the partially enlarged view of FIG. 8). This also applies to the main pad 52 in front of the top board.
