Abstract:
1. An armrest with a cup holder provided therein, in which said cup holder has a flange, comprising: a foam padding having an upper surface and a bore formed in said flange; a support member fixedly provided to said foam padding so as to surround a trim cover assembly covering said foam padding, excepting said bore of the foam padding, said trim cover assembly being formed by a foam wadding and a top cover member laminated on said foam wadding; and said trim cover assembly including: wherein said folded end portion is sewn so as to define: a first region extending said folded end portion in a direction towards said bore and further extending past said support member; a second region which extends from folded end portion, while underlaying said first region, and rests on said foam padding, such that the folded end portion has two ends that both extend between the support and the distal end of the flange; and an extension which extends from said second region in a direction towards said bore, while underlaying said first region, and further extends past said support member, whereupon said first region of said folded end portion is juxtaposed on said extension, thereby forming a lamination of said first region and said extension and said lamination of said first region and said extension rests on and extends past said support member, and wherein said cup holder is received in said bore of said foam padding, such that said lamination of said first region and said extension is sandwiched and retained between said flange of said cup holder and said support member, which causes a region of said localized connecting portions between said folded end portion and said flange to be raised upwardly towards a top of said flange of said cup holder.
