ABSTRACT:
Upholstery systems for use on chair frames, comprising a support sheet (24) sewn to finished upholstery fabric (30) with a cushion (26) inside the envelope formed by the support sheet (24) and the finished upholstery material (30). The support sheet (24) has ends that are suitable for attaching to cross members (70 & 71) in a manner that will securely hold the upholstery system in place. Additionally, inside the upholstery system there is a securing rod (23) that can be positioned on the support sheet (24) to secure the upholstery system in a desirable position between the sides (72) of a chair frame in a manner that enables the upholstery system to be stretched in a preferred shape. The securing rod 23 is secured to either the sides of the frame (72) or to a cross member (20A) that is secured to the sides (72) of a chair frame. The upholstery system eliminates elements traditionally found in upholstery systems such as fabric on the back of cushions which is normally used in addition to a support sheet (24). Additionally, the method is suitable for upholstering somewhat irregularly shaped wooden frames, without having to cover up most of the wood, and it works it in a relatively simple manner. Also disclosed are frames particularly suited for the upholstery system to be used on.
