Vehicle seat with improved craftsmanship

Abstract

A process for improving vehicle seat craftsmanship by camouflaging a receiving surface on a predetermined vehicle component (e.g., a foam seat cushion) is described. The camouflaging conceals the vehicle component from observation. One example of the process includes designating a receiving surface area on the vehicle component and providing a covering material having an opaque characteristic. The covering material includes an opaque dye that bonds with the polyurethane foam that is poured into a mold with deionized water for solidification. Another example of the process further includes spraying the covering material according to a surface of the mold cavity which corresponds to the designated receiving surface area on the vehicle component.

         7 . A process of making a covering material for camouflaging a vehicle component upon application, the camouflaging thereby concealing the vehicle component and improving overall vehicle craftsmanship, comprising:
 providing a silicone material;   adding a deionized water-based solution to the silicone material;   adding an opaque dye to the deionized water-based solution and the silicone material;   mixing the silicone material, water-based solution and opaque dye in a blend tank; and   heating the covering material to a predetermined temperature.   
     
     
         8 . The process of  claim 7  wherein the covering material is heated so that the covering material temperature is between 80 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. 
     
     
         9 . The process of  claim 8  wherein the covering material is heated as long as three to sixty minutes. 
     
     
         10 . The process of  claim 7 , further comprising;
 adding additional water-based solution to the silicone material to calibrate the viscosity of the covering material.   
     
     
         11 . The process of  claim 7 , further comprising;
 adding additional water-based solution to the silicone material to calibrate the weight of the covering material.
