ABSTRACT:
An armrest storage assembly (20) disposed for use with a vehicle seat assembly (22) includes a lower tray (28) and a top closure member (30) generally referred to as substrates (28,30). Each substrate (28,30) includes an upper periphery forming a U-shaped channel (46). A fabric material (20) is wrapped about the substrate (28,30) having an edge (52) disposed within the U-shaped channel (46). The armrest assembly (20) further includes a U-shaped retainer ring (54) for interlocking disposition in the channel (46). The retainer ring (54) includes gripping members (72) for gripping the material (20) as the retainer ring (54) is forcibly inserted in the channel (46) and for retaining the material (20) in the U-shaped channel (46). The retainer ring (54) further includes coacting members (82,90) spaced laterally from the gripping members (72) and further spaced from the edge (52) of the material (50) and including a pair of longitudinal recesses (90) for interlocking engagement with a plurality of hooks (82) extending from the U-shaped channel (46) to retain the ring (54) and material (50) in the channel (46).
