Abstract

(for the contracting States : BE, FR, GB, IT, NL, SE) 1. Cushion pad of plastics materials for seat furniture and vehicle seats, of which the stress-bearing surface has elevations (7) of differing geometry, between which free spaces are present, wherein the elevations (7) form one piece with a common supporting slab (1) of the same material, characterized in that the material is foamed in a mould ; in that the supporting slab (1) represents the actual cushion pad ; in that the height of the elevations (7) is small in relation to the height of this cushion pad (1) and in that the distribution of the elevations (7) of differing geometry corresponds to the differing areas of stress (4, 5, 6) of the cushion pad. (for the contracting State DE) 1. Use of a cushion pad formed in a mould, of which the stress-bearing surface has elevations (7) of differing geometry moulded on to it, between which elevations free spaces are present, wherein these elevations (7) form one piece with the actual cushion pad (1) and the height of the elevations (7) is small in relation to the height of the actual cushion pad (1) and the distribution of the elevations (7) with respect to their differing geometry corresponds to the differing areas of stress (4, 5, 6) of the cushion pad (1), for vehicle seats.

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf ein formverschäumtes Polsterkissen, dessen Oberfläche Erhebungen in Form von Zylindern, Kegeln, Kegelstümpfen, Pyramiden, Pyramidenstümpfen, Kugelkalotten, Quadern, Prismen, Rippen und dergleichen aufweist.The invention is directed to a molded foam cushion, the surface of which has elevations in the form of cylinders, cones, truncated cones, pyramids, truncated pyramids, spherical caps, cuboids, prisms, ribs and the like.

Derartige Polsterkissen dienen dem Einsatz im Möbelbereich und vor allen Dingen auch im Fahrzeugsektor.Such upholstery cushions are used in the furniture sector and above all in the vehicle sector.

Zum Erzielen einer bequemen und körpergerechten Polsterqualität ist die Wahl der richtigen Eindrückhärte-Charakteristik von entscheidender Bedeutung.Choosing the right indentation hardness characteristic is of crucial importance in order to achieve a comfortable and ergonomic upholstery quality.

Man hat deshalb versucht, Blockschaumzuschnitte mit verschiedener Stauchhärte zusammenzukleben. Eine andere Lösung bestand darin, vorgefertigte Formteile einzuschäumen bzw. zu umschäumen.An attempt has therefore been made to glue block foam blanks with different compression hardness. Another solution was to foam or foam around prefabricated molded parts.

Eine weitere bekannte Möglichkeit ist das Ausarbeiten voneinander getrennter Aussparungen, wobei durch Verminderung des tragenden Schaumstoffvolumens eine Verringerung der Härte in Teilbereichen von Polsterelementen erreicht wurde.Another known possibility is the working out of separate recesses, whereby a reduction in the hardness in partial areas of cushion elements has been achieved by reducing the load-bearing foam volume.

Schließlich ist es auch schon bekannt, bei Herstellung von Polsterkissen durch Formverschäumen die zu belastende Oberfläche (Sitzfläche, Lehne) mit angeformten Erhebungen gleicher Gestaltung und Größe auszustatten.Finally, it is also known to strain the manufacture of upholstered cushions by foam molding de to equip the surface (seat, backrest) with molded elevations of the same design and size.

Die erstgenannten Herstellungsverfahren sind umständlich und lohnintensiv. Das zuletzt genannte Verfahren ist wesentlich rationeller; eine optimale Anpassung an den menschlichen Körper ist dabei keineswegs gegeben. Es treten bei den vorgenannten Polsterkissen unter Belastung immer Eindrückverformungen auf, d. h., zusätzlich zu den direkt belasteten Flächen - z. B. bei Automobilsitzen durch die Oberschenkel des Passagiers - werden auch die nicht belasteten Nachbarbereiche durch seitlich knickende Zugspannungen verformt. Damit ist die Einstellung der gewünschten lokalen Unterschiede in der Härte nicht möglich.The former manufacturing processes are cumbersome and labor intensive. The latter method is much more efficient; there is no optimal adaptation to the human body. The above-mentioned cushion cushions always show indentations under load, i.e. that is, in addition to the directly loaded areas - e.g. B. in automobile seats through the thighs of the passenger - the non-loaded neighboring areas are deformed by lateral tensile stresses. This means that the desired local differences in hardness cannot be set.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, daß ein Polsterkissen gefunden wird, das eine körpergerechte und beanspruchungsgerecht optimale Eindrückhärte-Charakteristik aufweist.The object of the invention is that an upholstery cushion is found which has an indentation characteristic which is optimal for the body and for the stress.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß

  • a) die Erhebungen mit dem eigentlichen Kissen aus einem Stück bestehen und
  • b) Gruppen von Erhebungen unterschiedlicher Geometrie vorhanden sind.
This is achieved according to the invention in that
  • a) the surveys with the actual pillow consist of one piece and
  • b) there are groups of surveys of different geometries.

Dadurch wird erreicht, daß die Erhebungen gleichzeitig mit dem Polsterkissen beim Formschäumvorgang angeschäumt werden können und daß beispielsweise bei Sitzflächen im Bereich des Gesäßes Erhebungen anderer Geometrie vorgesehen werden können als im Bereich der weniger belastenden Oberschenkel. Die Erhebungen können, wie oben angegeben, die unterschiedlichsten Gestaltungen aufweisen. Von besonderem-Einflüß sind auch Größe und Höhe.It is thereby achieved that the elevations can be foamed at the same time as the cushion cushion during the molded foaming process and that, for example, elevations of a different geometry can be provided in the area of the buttocks in the area of the buttocks than in the area of the less stressful thighs. As stated above, the elevations can have a wide variety of configurations. Size and height are also of particular influence.

Zur Herstellung des formverschäumten Polsterkissens verwendet man ein Reaktionssystem, das beispielsweise Polyurethanschaumstoff hoher Eindrückhärte bildet. Die weicher einzustellenden Bereiche des Polsterkissens erhält man durch die entsprechende Dimensionierung der Noppen. Es lassen sich auf diese Weise Polsterkissen mit zunehmend unterschiedlicher Härte herstellen, bei denen der Übergang von einem Härtegrad zum anderen nahezu stufenlos eingestellt werden kann.A reaction system which, for example, forms polyurethane foam with high indentation hardness is used to produce the foam-molded cushion. The areas of the cushion that can be adjusted to be softer are obtained by dimensioning the knobs accordingly. In this way, cushion cushions with increasingly different hardness can be produced, in which the transition from one degree of hardness to the other can be adjusted almost continuously.

Weitere Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Polsterkissens sind darin zu sehen, daß man die Erhebungen nach Anbringen des Bezuges nicht mehr sieht und daß auch im belasteten Zustand infolge der zwischen den Erhebungen vorhandenen Freiräume eine erhebliche Verbesserung des klimatischen Sitzkomforts gegeben ist.Further advantages of the cushion according to the invention can be seen in the fact that the elevations can no longer be seen after the cover has been applied and that, even in the loaded state, the climatic seating comfort is considerably improved as a result of the free spaces between the elevations.

In einer Zeichnung ist das erfindungsgemäße Polsterkissen am Beispiel eines Automobilsitzes dargestellt und nachstehend näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 das Kissen in der Draufsicht und
  • Fig. 2 das Kissen im Schnitt gemäß Linie A-B in Fig. 1.
In a drawing the cushion according to the invention is shown using the example of an automobile seat and explained in more detail below. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 the pillow in plan view and
  • 2 shows the pillow in section along line AB in FIG. 1st

Das Polsterkissen-1 weist Seitenverstärkungen 2 auf, zwischen denen sich die eigentliche Sitzfläche 3 erstreckt. Diese Sitzfläche 3 ist mit drei Gruppen 4, 5, 6 von zylinderstumpfartigen Erhebungen 7 unterschiedlicher Größe und Höhe bedeckt.The cushion cushion 1 has side reinforcements 2, between which the actual seat 3 extends. This seat 3 is covered with three groups 4, 5, 6 of frustoconical elevations 7 of different sizes and heights.
