Abstract
A structure for fixing the terminal end of a trim cover assembly to an L-shaped frame in an automotive seat in which a plurality of spring members are extended across the frames. A hook member formed of synthetic resin having a shock-absorbing and sound-arresting property is provided at the terminal end of the trim cover assembly and is then interposed between the spring member and the tip end of the frame. As a result of this, even when the spring member is flexed due to loads applied thereto, the spring member is prevented from coming into direct contact with the frame tip end and thus there is eliminated the possibility that strange sounds may be generated due to the contact of the spring member with the tip end of the frame.
