Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a seating feeling with balanced and favorable cushioning properties by a method wherein the intermediate layer of an elastic support, which is integrally foam-molded on one side of a soft low-density foam with a mold and has the required shape, and a soft high-density foam are integrally laminated to each other with the same mold into the required shape. CONSTITUTION:An elastic support 3 is detachably mounted to flange parts 5F. The foamable compounded liquid of a soft low-density foam 1 is poured in a bottom force 4 and, after that, closed with a top force 5 for upper layer so as t perform foam- molding by heating. Just before or after the end of the tack-free time of the foam, the top force 5 is open and the foamable compounded liquid of a soft high-density foam 2 is poured onto the integrally molded elastic support 3 and, after that, closed with a top force 6 for lower layer so as to perform foam-molding by heating. After the hardening of the above compounded for about 2min after the completion of foaming, the top force 6 for lower layer is opened for the removal from the bottom force 4. Thus, the elastic support 3 is continuously formed in the required shape as the intermediate layer of the foams 1 and 2 with the same force under the state heated and pressurized with the top forces 5 and 6 for the respective layers in order to obtain a strong integral structure having a highly accurate form faithful to design.

The invention of this publication is, as stated in the claims, ro,
A sheet-like cushion member 1 made of a soft synthetic resin foam having a density of 0.25 to 0.03, and a pad made of a synthetic resin foam having a density of at least 0.04 and surrounding the cushion member except for one side. Part 2
and a sheet-like cushion integrally formed with a rigid, porous, and sufficiently flexible sheet-like partition member 3 interposed between the cushion member and the pad member. According to the detailed explanation of the invention, the partition member 3 is made of a porous sheet-like material having a certain degree of rigidity and sufficient flexibility, for example,
It is a coarse and rigid cloth woven from synthetic fibers or a mesh body molded from synthetic resin. It is explained. In other words, a woven fabric-like rigid body is supported in an @-shaped shape, and its periphery is surrounded by high-density polyurethane foam to suppress the degree of freedom of the rigid body, making it even more rigid and limiting lateral sagging. It is something to do. Further, the method of integral formation and the shape of the molded product are described as follows.

``Pour the foamable synthetic resin stock solution that will form the semi-rigid pad member 2 into a mold that has the shape of the desired product, place the partition member 3 on the surface of the foaming liquid, By injecting the foamable synthetic resin stock solution that forms the soft cushion member 1 thereon, a molded product in which these three members are joined together can be easily obtained. The cushion not only effectively supports vertical loads, but also has a relatively large area surrounding the cushion member 1, which when used as a cushion for a car, can also withstand lateral vibrations caused by vibrations of the car body in the horizontal direction. The high-density pad member 2 can exert an effective force to reduce rolling motion.''In other words, a rigid and flexible porous sheet material is buried in a bowl shape as shown in the drawing. Although the purpose of this method is to suppress deformation in the vertical direction and the left and right directions on the same horizontal plane using a rigid body, it is not possible to obtain uniform cushioning properties.

As described above, in other words, in the middle of natural foaming of a soft cushion member, a rigid partition member is covered with a sheet U, and a pad member with a density of 0.04 or more is embedded all around the sides and bottom of the sheet. It's a cushion. Also,
In this method, a partition member is placed on the surface of the foaming liquid, and the partition member is pushed up by the foaming force to cause foaming. Therefore, it is not possible to obtain a completely constant shape, and it is not possible to obtain a required shape by molding, and only 1 q of naturally foamed, irregularly shaped intermediate bodies can be formed, and a pad member is placed on top of that. The idea is to injection mold 2. Therefore, a practical product cannot be obtained.

As stated in the claims, the cushion structure of this publication includes [a padding material formed into a predetermined shape is placed on a bottom plate;
In a cushion made by covering this with skin, the pad material is made of two layers, upper and lower, the lower layer pad is made harder than the upper layer pad, and the interface between the soil layer pad and the lower layer pad is shaped to correspond to the body shape of the seated person. A cushion structure for a seat, characterized in that the upper pad is molded and a hardened layer is formed on the interface between the upper pad and the lower pad. According to the detailed explanation of the invention, the hardened layer is a tough hardened layer made by impregnating and hardening a urethane stock solution into a rigid fiber material such as coarse wool felt, and the molding method is , the upper layer pad 21 lined with a strong hardened layer is molded by laying a rigid fiber material such as coarse wool felt on the bottom of the foam mold of the upper layer pad 21, and injecting a urethane solution and foaming it integrally. 21 and a lower layer pad 22 molded in a separate mold are stacked on top of the bottom plate 1 so that the upper layer pad 21 and the lower layer pad 22 are held together with a holding ring or the like by the outer skin 5 so that the upper layer pad 21 and the lower layer pad 22 do not shift from each other. It is firmly attached to the

As described above, the invention of this publication is also similar to (a), in which an intermediate layer of a tough hardened layer is formed by impregnating a rigid fiber material with a urethane stock solution. Moreover, it is not an integral structure, but has a structure in which an upper layer pad and a lower layer pad that are molded using separate molds are stacked on top of each other.

In the above conventional technology, in the configuration (a), the cushioning is suppressed using a rigid partition member such as a synthetic fiber woven fabric or a synthetic resin net, so it has very little rigidity with little elongation and compression. It is a composite with a highly deformable foam, and due to the combination of the difference in physical properties between the minimum elongation and the maximum elongation, the moment cushion stress is applied, two physical discomforts occur. This gives an incongruous seating feeling, and is especially severe on thin seat cushions. Furthermore, breakage due to the cushioning action at the interface between the rigid body and the foam is promoted.

In general, since the structure of the partition member is a shape formed in a naturally foamed state, the thickness of the high-density pad member cannot be uniform and forms an irregular shape, so the partition member also has an irregular shape. This results in a regular state, and the thickness of the soft upper layer pad naturally becomes irregular, further increasing the incongruous sitting feeling that gives the above-mentioned discomfort.

In addition, in the configuration of the prior art shown in (b), a rigid fiber material such as coarse wool felt is laid on the bottom surface of the mold for the upper layer pad, and the rigid fiber material is impregnated with the urethane stock solution by a method of injecting the urethane stock solution and making it integrally foam. The upper layer pad is lined with this strong hardened layer, and the lower layer pad is molded in a separate mold, which are then stacked and held together by the outer skin to form a fixed shape. However, the structure of the hardening layer is the same as that of the prior art (a), which gives an unharmonious seating feeling, especially in the case of a thin seat cushion, and also has the same drawbacks. It is something that you have.

In addition, since the upper layer pad and lower layer pad are stacked by cutting and molding with separate molds, the shrinkage allowance on the lower surface of the upper layer pad, which is integrally foamed by laying a rigid fiber material on the lower surface of the foam, Unlike the shrinkage margin of the upper surface of the foam of the upper layer pad, which is foam-molded in a separate mold, it is not only difficult to obtain dimensional accuracy of the fitting part of the stacked part of the upper surface of the lower layer pad and the lower surface of the upper layer pad, but also when cushioning. , a slippery friction phenomenon occurs between the two, and the durability is greatly reduced due to slipping especially on the foam.

Therefore, the inventors eliminated the molding method in which a fixed shape cannot be obtained, such as in the prior art (a) above, and created a method in which the intermediate layer can be molded into various desired shapes as designed using the same mold. We have developed a molding method that allows the middle layer to be placed in the desired position on the entire surface or in parts with precision, and we have developed a conventional technology that allows for a good sitting feeling with well-balanced cushioning properties even in thin seat cushions. We decided to aim for a solution based on a concept different from that of the partition member and the hardened layer.

The above-mentioned partial molding method is a molding method in which the intermediate layer is precisely inserted into various shapes at a partial position at the interface between the upper and lower layers, especially at a partial position in the middle that is not continuous with the side wall. A solution was particularly desired. It is something.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In the conventional configuration described above, which is based on a combination of extreme materials consisting of a maximum flexibility body and a large rigidity body, many problems as described above occur. Since the point is generated,
We are keenly aware of the need to alleviate impactive stress at the interface between a flexible body and a rigid body, and this need is especially great for thin seat cushions.

Therefore, the inventors provided an elastic support suitable for cushioning impact cushion stress in the middle layer of a laminate consisting of one layer of soft low-density foam and one layer of soft high-density foam, as designed.
The structure in which the elastic support body is integrally formed by molding into a desired shape eliminates the discomfort and provides a good sitting feeling with balanced cushioning properties.

The above-mentioned organic fibers refer to inelastic organic fibers other than elastic fibers. In the case of inelastic organic 11i1f, since elasticity is imparted by coating with an elastomer, a coarse-density structure is suitable, and for example, a two-ply cross-molded sheet of rubber-coated blind weave is used. The elastomer-coated sheet of elastic support is obtained by thermoforming. Further, the number of plies and the thickness of the sheet are adjusted as appropriate depending on the application. Furthermore, as a method for integrally forming the intermediate layer, a method of molding that can obtain a desired shape at a desired position with high precision is used.

That is, in a mold having a plurality of upper molds connected to each other so as to be openable and closable around the lower mold, the end of the elastic support is fastened to the flange on the inner surface of the upper mold for the upper layer, which is designed to have a desired shape. The foaming liquid is injected into the lower mold, the upper mold for the upper layer is closed, and the foam is heated and foamed. Open the upper mold for the lower layer, inject the foamable mixture of the soft high-density foam onto the integrally molded elastic support, close the upper mold for the lower layer, and perform heat foam molding to form the soft low-density foam, the elastic support, Three soft, high-density foams are continuously molded into one piece.

In addition, in the above process, the elastic support is made of soft low-density fiber A-
Although the elastic support is inserted into the entire interface between the foam and the soft high-density foam, there are cases where the elastic support is inserted only at the necessary partial positions of the interface. In the case of this partial insertion, the required number of needle-like protrusions (pins) are caulked at the desired partial positions on the inner surface of the lower mold for the upper layer, and the elastic support is inserted into these. Alternatively, it may be removably fixed and attached to the mold, or it may be temporarily fixed and attached using an adhesive that can be easily attached and detached.
