Influence of technological parameters on the upholstery seams in furniture

Abstract

Influence of technological parameters of the upholstery seams in furniture. Based on the real problem of weak seams in covers of wooden furniture, a multifaceted analysis of the issue was performed. As a result, it was decided to carry out comparative laboratory strength tests of seams made with the use of various technological parameters. For the production of test samples, we used different yarn threads to find the best and sufficiently strong seams for used fabrics. The test results show that not only the thread and fabric used, but also the sewing technology parameters have a significant influence on the seam strength. Overall, these results indicate that to increase the seam strength, it is necessary to choose thread type B with very high strength and low elongation at break. This solution will minimize the risk of broken threads in case of deviation of material features and technological parameters, which can be variable in the long duration of large-scale production.
