- the disclosed cushion body includes a main body made of elastic foam, plural holes penetrating through in a thickness direction of the main body, and plural columnar elastic members having different degree of hardness from the main body.
- the cushion body is formed by locating each columnar elastic member in each hole. Further, the cushion body is covered with a cover cloth and configures the bedding (e.g. the pillow, the mattress).
- the bedding (e.g. the pillow, the mattress), which is configured as described above has locally different degree of hardness and thus offers a user a comfort and a massage effect.
- the bedding using the cushion body as the base may occasionally be inconvenient in practical use. More particularly, because each columnar elastic member is simply located in each hole penetrating through in the thickness direction of the main body, the columnar elastic member may occasionally slip out from the holes. For example, because the pillow is frequently turned from one face to another, a possibility of the slip of the columnar elastic member from the hole may be increased.
- a cushion body includes a main body made of elastic foam and having at opposite sides thereof first and second surfaces between which a thickness is defined, the main body being formed with a plurality of holes in a direction of the thickness, and a plurality of columnar elastic members positioned in the plural holes, respectively, the plural columnar elastic members being different from the main body in elasticity.
- the cushion body further includes a first surface member made of elastic foam similar to the elastic foam of the main body, the first surface member being connected to the first surface of the main body, and a second surface member made of elastic foam similar to the elastic foam of the main body, the second surface member being connected to the second surface of the main body.

- the main body 20 is connected with, at a first surface, a first surface member 50 made of a similar material to the main body 20 by means of an adhesive 40, and at a second surface, a second surface member 60 made of the similar material to the main body 20 by means of the adhesive 40.
- a lower end portion of the columnar elastic member 30 is not connected with but contacted on the second surface member 60, and an upper end portion of the columnar elastic member 30 is fitted into and fixed at a recessed portion 52 formed on a reverse side of the first surface member 50. Because of a concave-convex engagement of the columnar elastic member 30 and the first surface member 50, the upper end portion of the columnar elastic member 30 is fixed. Therefore, the degradation of the columnar elastic member 30 can be reduced even when an up-and-down deformation (contraction/expansion) of the columnar elastic member 30 is repeated. Further, both of the first surface member 50 and the second surface member 60 can be used by a user.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a cushion body.
- A known bedding (e.g. a pillow, a mattress) is disclosed in JP2003-339484A, which adopts a cushion body as a base which is made of an elastic body such as a polyurethane resin, or the like. The disclosed cushion body includes a main body made of elastic foam, plural holes penetrating through in a thickness direction of the main body, and plural columnar elastic members having different degree of hardness from the main body. The cushion body is formed by locating each columnar elastic member in each hole. Further, the cushion body is covered with a cover cloth and configures the bedding (e.g. the pillow, the mattress). The bedding (e.g. the pillow, the mattress), which is configured as described above has locally different degree of hardness and thus offers a user a comfort and a massage effect.
- However, the bedding using the cushion body as the base may occasionally be inconvenient in practical use. More particularly, because each columnar elastic member is simply located in each hole penetrating through in the thickness direction of the main body, the columnar elastic member may occasionally slip out from the holes. For example, because the pillow is frequently turned from one face to another, a possibility of the slip of the columnar elastic member from the hole may be increased.
- A need thus exists for a cushion body, the columnar elastic member of which is not easily slipped out from the hole penetrating through in the thickness direction of the main body.
- According to an aspect of the present invention, a cushion body includes a main body made of elastic foam and having at opposite sides thereof first and second surfaces between which a thickness is defined, the main body being formed with a plurality of holes in a direction of the thickness, and a plurality of columnar elastic members positioned in the plural holes, respectively, the plural columnar elastic members being different from the main body in elasticity. The cushion body further includes a first surface member made of elastic foam similar to the elastic foam of the main body, the first surface member being connected to the first surface of the main body, and a second surface member made of elastic foam similar to the elastic foam of the main body, the second surface member being connected to the second surface of the main body.
- According to a further aspect of the present invention, a cushion body includes a main body made of elastic foam and having at opposite sides thereof first and second surfaces between which a thickness is defined, and a plurality of columnar elastic members buried in the main body, the plural columnar elastic members being different from the main body in elasticity. The cushion body further includes a first surface member made of elastic foam similar to the elastic foam of the main body, the first surface member being integrally formed with the first surface of the main body, and a second surface member made of elastic foam similar to the elastic foam of the main body, the second surface member being integrally formed with the second surface of the main body.
- According to the present invention, because the movement of the columnar elastic member in the axis direction (an up-and-down direction) is restrained by the first surface member and the second surface member, the columnar elastic member positioned in the hole formed on the main body does not slip out from the hole.
- The foregoing and additional features and characteristics of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description considered with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Fig. 1 is a view illustrating an inner structure of a part of a cushion body according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

Further, the columnarelastic member 30 is enclosed in abag 32 made of a thin film material. In a condition where the columnarelastic member 30 is deformed (contraction/expansion) upwards and downwards, the thin film of thebag 32 reduces a noise caused by sliding between the columnarelastic member 30 and an inner circumferential surface of thehole 22. Because thebag 32 is made of the thin film material, thebag 32 can be deformed in response to a deformation of the columnarelastic member 30 without harming characteristics of the columnarelastic member 30. - The
main body 20 is connected with, at a first surface, afirst surface member 50 made of a similar material to themain body 20 by means of an adhesive 40, and at a second surface, asecond surface member 60 made of the similar material to themain body 20 by means of the adhesive 40. - As illustrated in Fig. 1, a lower end portion of the columnar
elastic member 30 is not connected with but contacted on thesecond surface member 60, and an upper end portion of the columnarelastic member 30 is fitted into and fixed at a recessedportion 52 formed on a reverse side of thefirst surface member 50. Because of a concave-convex engagement of the columnarelastic member 30 and thefirst surface member 50, the upper end portion of the columnarelastic member 30 is fixed. Therefore, the degradation of the columnarelastic member 30 can be reduced even when an up-and-down deformation (contraction/expansion) of the columnarelastic member 30 is repeated. Further, both of thefirst surface member 50 and thesecond surface member 60 can be used by a user. - A second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in Fig. 2. A

Therefore, disposability and recycling efficiency can be improved. - Further, because the elastic foam of the columnar
elastic member 530 contains liquid lubricant such as theoil 531, or the like, the columnarelastic member 530 can smoothly be deformed in response to a load. Accordingly, thecushion body 510 deforms, without difficulty, in response to a turn or a physical movement of the user, and the user can obtain comfortable sense of use. - According to the embodiments of the present invention, by appropriately varying the hardness (elasticity), a degree of density, or other attributes (physical characteristics) of the elastic foam of the main body, the characteristics of the cushion body can be adjusted. As illustrated in Fig. 6, within a range from 0 to 1 0N/314cm2, a deflection of the columnar elastic member because of the load is less than or equal to 15mm.
- Further, as long as the hardness (physical characteristics) of the elastic foam is less than or equal to 10N/314cm2 measured by a hardness test (25% hardness ILD: Indentation Load Deflection) wherein each test piece was compressed to 25 percent, the elastic foam can be used as the cushion body for the pillow or the mattress without harming physical characteristics of the columnar elastic member. The aforementioned hardness is measured using the method of JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) 6400.
- Besides the base of the bedding, the cushion body may be applied to any place to which a human body can be seated or leaned such as a seating portion of a sofa, a seating portion of a wheelchair, the pillow, or the like.
- According to the embodiments of the present invention, although the columnar elastic member is movable upwards and downwards relative to the hole, an up-and-down movement is restrained by means of the first surface member and the second surface member. Accordingly, after the pillow or the mattress is manufactured by covering the cushion body with a
cover - According to the embodiments of the present invention, by appropriately varying a hardness, a degree of density, or other attributes (physical characteristics) of the first surface member (the second surface member) to be connected with the first surface (the second surface) of the main body made of the elastic foam, characteristics of the cushion body can be adjusted.
- According to the embodiments of the present invention, even in a condition where the material of the columnar elastic member contains the oil component, the thin film bag prevents the oil component from being transmitted to the main body. As long as a material of the thin film bag has a high degree of stretchability, a deformation level of the columnar elastic member may not be restrained.
- According to the embodiments of the present invention, because the movement of the columnar elastic member in the axis direction (an up-and-down direction) is restrained by the first surface member and the second surface member, the columnar elastic member positioned in the hole formed on the main body does not slip out from the hole.
