Method for making fabric covered foam cushions utilizing a fabric bag.

摘要

A method for making a fabric covered foam cushion utilizing a pre-formed foam pad (10) enclosed within a fabric bag (14). The subject method includes pre-attaching an adhesive film (12) to a pre-formed foam pad (10) and subsequently inserting the foam pad (10) within a fabric bag (14) so that the adhesive film (12) is sandwiched between a portion of the inside of the fabric bag (14) and a portion of the outside of the foam pad. Steam is forced through the fabric bag (14) to disperse and activate the adhesive film (12) so that the adhesive film (12) forms a pervious bond between the fabric bag (14) and the foam pad (10). Following the application of steam, vacuum pressure is applied to the cushion in order to cool and cure the adhesive and also to draw residual moisture from the cushion. <IMAGE>
