METHOD OF REINFORCING A SEATBACK FRAME OF A SEAT ASSEMBLY |
| 摘要 |
A method of reinforcing a seatback frame of a seat assembly in which the seatback frame includes a pair of first frame members. The method includes the steps of providing a reinforcement member having an insertion end and an arm at an opposite end of the reinforcement member. The arm extends generally normal to the remainder of the reinforcement member to define a generally L-shape. An aperture is formed in one of the pair of first frame members. The insertion end of the reinforcement member is inserted into the aperture. The attachment end is aligned with the other of the pair of first frame members. The reinforcement member is welded to the seatback frame to reinforce the seatback frame. |

1. A method of reinforcing a frame of a seat assembly, the frame having a pair of first frame members, said method comprising:
providing a reinforcement member having an insertion end and an arm at an opposite end of the reinforcement member, the arm extends generally normal to a remainder of the reinforcement member to define a general L-shape; forming an aperture in one of the pair of first frame members; inserting the insertion end of the reinforcement member into the aperture; aligning a longitudinal axis of the arm parallel to a center axis of the other of the pair of first frame members while maintaining contact of the insertion end with the aperture; and welding the reinforcement member to the frame. |
