Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cushion body according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • the upholstered bodies belonging to the prior art and using a foam core have been coated since about 1960 with a cotton fleece, which usually consists of polyester fibers and is manufactured and used in the weight classes from about 40 to about 1000 g / m 2.
  • the areas of application of the cotton fleece are mainly in the bedding area, in the upholstery and mattress industry, in the confection and in the toy area, for example for toys.
  • the cotton fleece fulfills its function where the upholstered body equipped in this way is not exposed to pressure and moisture. In the area where these stress cases are present, such as cushion cushions, mattresses, etc., they do not perform their function satisfactorily.
  • These puffed up nonwovens made of polyester fibers are usually used to cover the foam cores and are intended to give the upholstered body a better look and direct contact prevent between the actual covering material, ie the covering and the foam core.
  • the invention is based on the object, starting from the cushion bodies belonging to the prior art, to design a cushion body from a foam core in such a way that the cushion body maintains its cushioning and ventilation properties even under heavy loads, but nevertheless results in a pleasant cushioning effect.
  • the cushion body according to the invention by punching a soft foam sheet, changes the characteristic of such a foam sheet, which is typical per se, in such a way that the goods fall soft and the punched sheet supports the air conditioning.
  • the punching of the cuts also causes the user to sit in the foam core and not - as was previously the case with foam webs - to sit thereon.
  • connection of the cover for example made of a woven, knitted or non-woven fabric, only in certain areas creates air spaces between the cover and the punched foam core, in particular when the cushion body is used. that make the upholstered body formed in this way more sympathetic and easy to grip.
  • a better cushioning effect is achieved, and the so-called "canvas effect" of the cover, which has previously occurred, is avoided by the possibility of the cover stretching.
  • Adaptations to different purposes can be made by using different materials for the cover on both sides of the foam core.
  • the proposal according to the invention thus creates an upholstery body which can be used in the broadest areas, has good air-conditioning effects, has a soft and conformable behavior and which, in combination with other upholstery means, also provides ideal upholstery effects, for example as a filling pocket for rod-shaped and / or spherical upholstery bodies.
  • the upholstery body according to the invention can be used especially for the sheathing of upholstered cushion cores or blank mattresses, in which a soft modeling surface is required. It preferably consists of a 20 mm thick core made of extremely soft, high-quality foam, which is provided with punched cuts in such a way that the surface tension of the foam can be totally broken. As a result, the elastic properties of the foam core change to sluggish elastic properties and the previous typical properties of sitting change to that of modeling sitting.
  • the top and bottom can be covered with a spunbond.
  • the top side is preferably provided with a particularly soft design.
  • the arrangement of the cover with more or less intermittent fastening ensures that no contours are visible even with the finest upholstery fabrics or leather, so that an absolutely smooth cushion surface can be achieved.
  • a health-promoting sitting is achieved by the arrangement according to the invention, namely by a shape that is appropriate for the body and with a maximum of pressure relief.
  • Fig. 1 denotes a cushion body which consists of a covering 2, a foam core 3 and a cover 4 or 5 arranged on both sides of the foam core 3.
  • the foam core 3 consists of individual foam sheets.
  • Each foam sheet 3 is equipped with die cuts 6, which can be arranged in a corresponding pattern - as shown in FIGS. 2 to 8.
  • the cover 4 or 5 is connected in some areas to the foam core 3 in the edge area by sewing or quilting or else in the rest of the area in a material-locking manner, for example by gluing, welding, etc., for example punctiform gluing points can be provided in a grid that has such a grid dimension is chosen that between the individual material connection points there is sufficient free space and thus movement possibilities between the cover 4 and 5 and the foam core 3.
  • the connection between the covers 4 and 5 and the foam core 3 can be provided in a punctiform, linear or the like.
  • the covers 4 and 5 can consist of a fleece, a woven fabric, a knitted or a film web and can be designed differently on both sides of the foam core 3.
  • the die cuts 6 can be straight, angular or curved.
  • the elastic behavior of the foam core can be influenced by the type of die cuts.
  • the composite therefore contains three adhesive sides.
  • the thickness of the foam sheets can vary, with a maximum of about 80 mm being aimed for.
  • the thickness of the thickest web will be about 40 mm, that of the thinnest about 2 mm.
  • the continuous die cuts are made in the longitudinal and transverse directions and arranged so that the remaining material connections withstand a higher number of washing processes.
  • Woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, nonwovens, foils, etc. can be used as cover.
