Abstract
A method for assembling a tube into a frame part of a vehicle seat comprises the steps of: i) providing a tube such that a first free end of a first side of an end portion of the tube is offset longitudinally relative to a second free end of a second side of the end portion; ii) providing a frame part in the form of a metal plate; iii) arranging the first and second free ends of the tube in contact with the frame part, in two longitudinally offset areas of contact; and iv) successively creating, by means of a same laser, a weld at the first and second areas of contact.
