ABSTRACT:
A system for covering a cushion member with a sack-like trim cover assembly, which includes a securing mechanism with support element and a covering guide mechanism. The sack-liked trim cover assembly is turned inside out and secured on the securing mechanism, with the cushion member secured thereon in an opposedly faced relation with such turnedover trim cover assembly. Both cushion member and trim cover assembly are located precisely by the support element at a given position on the securing mechanism. The securing mechanism and covering guide mechanism are operated in a direction opposite to each other, thereby displacing the cushion member to an opened side of the trim cover assembly, while the trim cover assembly is being turned over again by the covering guide mechanism. The system further includes a pressing device for pressing a part of the cushion member to make it accesible for securement of an anchor member of the trim cover assembly therewith so that the cushion member is neatly covered with the trim cover assembly. A hog ring fitting mechanism is provided for automating such securement of anchor member to the cushion member, which permits all the operations of the system to be effected automatically.
