2. Description of the Related Art Seat bodies conventionally used for passenger cars can be roughly classified into three types: full-form seat cushion bodies, S-spring / foam combined seat cushion bodies, and three-dimensional spring / foam combined seat cushion bodies. it can. Among them, the full-form structure has the advantage of being simple in structure and light in manufacturing cost, but compared to a spring-combined seat body, it lacks the characteristics that influence the riding comfort such as the feeling of spring and the feeling of depression. It is used in small cars with a displacement of 1500cc or less. On the other hand, the three-dimensional spring / foam combined seat cushion body has a feature of being excellent in spring feeling and softness and having a high surface rigidity, and thus has been used for a high-class vehicle conventionally, but it has a drawback that it is expensive and heavy. Also, S springs are cheaper and lighter than solid springs, so S springs for middle-class vehicles that are located in the middle of the above two models
Widely used as a spring and foam combined seat cushion body.

The vehicle seat body according to the present invention is, for example,
It can be relatively easily manufactured by using the method and apparatus for molding the different hardness seat cushion disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-60280. That is, in a forming die having two sets of upper dies that are openably and closably connected to the periphery of the lower die, the inner surface of the upper die for the upper layer designed to have a desired shape (here, in particular, at least a portion corresponding to the seat rear area) The shape is designed to almost correspond to the body shape of the seated person). At least a portion corresponding to the seat rear area has a rigid support body preliminarily shaped to match this shape, and is detachably attached. Then, the first high resilience polyurethane foam stock solution is injected into the lower mold, the upper mold for the upper layer is closed to foam, then the upper mold is opened, and the second mold is formed on the integrally molded foam. By pouring the undiluted solution for high resilience polyurethane foam, closing the upper mold for the lower layer and foaming, a cushioning body of different hardness in which a rigid support is embedded and integrated at a predetermined interface between the upper and lower layers is obtained.

According to the present invention, the foam cushion body mounted on the S spring is a three-layer structure different hardness cushion body, and the upper and lower layers thereof are formed of polyurethane foam having high impact resilience, so that the seat cushion body has the S spring structure. However, it is possible to obtain the spring feeling, cushion feeling, and soft feeling equivalent to those of the three-dimensional spring structure. Also, since a solid support having a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the body shape of the seated person is embedded in the middle of the upper and lower foam layers,
The surface flexibility is improved. In addition, the body pressure distribution becomes uniform, and good sitting comfort can be obtained.

The rigid support 5 made of polypropylene is
A 3 mm-thick plate sheet is pre-molded in a separate mold to a shape that corresponds to the body shape of the seated person, especially the sitting posture of the buttocks, and molded into a curved surface of the same shape by the integral foam molding method described above. The seat rear area 8 thus formed is buried and integrated along the upper and lower layer interfaces. As in this example,
The rigid support body 5 is sufficient to improve the surface rigidity only by providing it on the upper portion of the S spring, but if it is desired to enhance the supportability of the seat surface side portion 9, the left and right ends thereof are extended and raised. It can also be embedded along the inner upper and lower layer interfaces of the side portion 9. But,
In any case, it is not preferable to bury the seat front part 10 located under the thigh of the seated person because it hinders the clutch operation. In addition, the surface flexibility is adversely affected and the riding comfort is also reduced, which is not preferable.

The respective performances of the above-mentioned automobile seat body are measured by the following methods. Feeling of fluttering; Regarding the magnitude of vertical movement when the body is united in the low frequency region (around 3 Hz) that is felt by the upper body and visually,
As a substitute characteristic, look at the resonance magnification in the forced vibration test shown in FIG. The lower this value is, the more preferable. Spring sensation: Repulsiveness felt when seated on the seat, and the restitution rate R (= b / a × 100) in the free vibration test shown in FIG. 7 is used as a substitute characteristic. The higher this value is, the more preferable. Surface rigidity: It means that the seating surface is firm and that the entire surface can bend even if a load is locally applied. The higher the number, the better. Softness: Softness after sitting and after sitting. The hardness and flexural properties of the polyurethane foam used are the dominant factors, but in this case, the sensory test was used to classify it into 5 grades. The higher the number, the better. Cost: A material cost ratio expressed as an index with the material cost of the seat body of the three-dimensional spring structure being 1, and the smaller the value, the better. The performance measured above and the result of cost calculation are summarized in Table 2.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the cushion body is made of polyurethane foam having a particularly high elasticity, and the rigid support embedded as an intermediate layer thereof has a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the body shape of the seated person, the S spring is used. Although it is a combined seat body, it also has the unique performance of the conventional three-dimensional spring structure at the same time,
It is possible to provide a vehicle seat body which is excellent in ride comfort and durability and can be manufactured at low cost by using the conventional method.
