Definitions

  • the invention relates to an independently free-standing seat cushion according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a seat cushion which is also known under the name Beanbag is filled in a conventional manner with polystyrene balls and has an outer shell made of leather or plastic.
  • Such a seat cushion can be changed in shape within certain limits, for example, to form a seat recess with an adjacent backrest portion.
  • These known seat cushions have due to the filling material used a low dimensional stability, which can lead to undesirable changes in shape due to the applied loads in use.
  • the invention has the object of providing an independently free-standing seat cushion, which can also be used as a duvet cushion, in such a way that on the one hand desired Ausformungsver base urge are possible, and on the other hand, a higher dimensional stability is achieved in the use of the seat cushion.
  • the technical teaching provides that in an independently free-standing seat cushion, which is deformable into different sitting and / or lying forms and inside a filling of a filler comprising a plurality of plastic particles, is provided that the filler at least one of the materials selected from the group comprising styrofoam particles (5), polypropylene particles (6), other plastic particles, down, feather down, foam, natural materials, polystyrene and the like.
  • a mixture of several, different substances is provided as a filler. The mixture is to be designed so that an optimized relationship between dimensional stability and comfort is realized.
  • the mixture is formed as a mixture of plastic particles and natural substances.
  • the seat cushion according to the invention has a novel filling, in particular of a plurality of on the one hand hard and on the other hand elastic plastic particles, preferably of styrofoam particles and polypropylene particles, which have different coefficients of friction.
  • Added is advantageously a further residue that allows, inter alia, an improved dimensional stability with improved seating / lying comfort.
  • the residue may be, for example, a natural substance such as down.
  • the rather smooth surface of the styrofoam particles and the non-slip, soft surface of the polypropylene particles provide the advantage that when the seat cushion is loaded, the existing shape remains very dimensionally stable.
  • the mixing material used from hard and elastic plastic particles possibly mixed with a residue such as down, has the further advantage that the seating comfort improves due to the higher elasticity of the elastic plastic particles. Very good results were achieved with a filling of styrofoam balls and polypropylene particles, with a cross-sectional diameter of about 4 mm gave a high dimensional stability and also a good seating comfort.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that at least one of the substances is formed in a shape selected from the group consisting of spheres, cuboids, cubes, pyramids, cylinders, cones, cones, geoid, helix, ellipsoid, ellipsoid of revolution, paraboloid, paraboloid of revolution, Hyperboloid, oloid, polyhedron, tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron, cuboctahedron, and the like.
  • the filler may be composed of a combination of different forms, wherein the same substances may have different shapes.
  • the filling consists essentially of a Styrofoam particulate polypropylene particles mixture plus a differently designed residual filler.
  • the residual filler may be only a few percent or less of the total filler. It serves to optimize the dimensional stability and the sitting / lying comfort.
  • a further embodiment provides that the mixing ratio of the number of styrofoam particles / polypropylene particles is in the range between about 20/80 to about 80/20.
  • the proportion of residual material is not listed here, but is taken into account in the proportion of the total filler.
  • the mixing ratio can be varied in a relatively wide range according to the respective requirements, however, for everyday use, a mixing ratio of about 50/50 hard and soft plastic particles has been found to be advantageous. It may be advantageous to use plastic particles having different shapes, for example styrofoam particles as spheres and polypropylene particles having an oval cross-section.
  • Another embodiment provides that different substances of the filler or of the filler mixture have different shapes.
  • the shape may also differ with respect to other geometry parameters such as length, width, diameter, porosity and the like.
  • other geometry parameters such as length, width, diameter, porosity and the like.
  • a sitting and lying cushion which was filled with polystyrene balls with a diameter of 4 mm and with polypropylene particles with a length of about 8 mm, has shown in experiments very good use properties. Both dimensional stability and seating comfort were significantly improved over conventional seat cushions. Further improvements have been found by adding other substances, such as natural products or substances with different shapes, the improvements having occurred even at low levels in the range of a few percent of the total filling quantity.
  • a further embodiment provides that the Styrofoam particles are spherical, and that the polypropylene particles are short, rod-shaped parts which have an oval longitudinal section.
  • polypropylene particles are about 3-15 mm long.
  • the polypropylene particles are about twice as long as the diameter of the styrofoam particles used.
  • An embodiment of the present invention provides that an outer shell of the seat cushion consists of a cover material, and that the filler is at least partially in a textile inner bag.
  • the cover material is selected from the group comprising: leather, plastic, natural fabric, hide material, velvet, silk and the like.
  • a hide material such as mink or the like is selected as the reference material.
  • the outer shell may also consist of combinations of several cover materials.
  • the cover material consists of several different materials.
  • the cover material may consist of a combination of leather material and fur material.
  • different proportions are feasible.
  • the cover material has a rough surface on its inside.
  • the outer shell is made of mink which has a rough surface on its inside.
  • the plastic particles are in an inner bag made of textile material, which can be provided with a zipper for filling and closing.
  • a Velcro or a button closure may be provided, or even a combination of several types of closure.
  • the outer shell can be connected to the inner bag or wrap it loosely.
  • the inner bag is connected in places with the outer shell.
  • Other admixtures of down are possible.
  • the addition of down is about 1% to 2% of the total fill. It can are by volume percent and / or weight percent. In other preferred embodiments, the admixture of down is about 50%.
  • Styrofoam particles and, in particular, styrofoam beads in combination with other filling materials are used as the filling quantity.
  • the polystyrene beads or particles may be formed in a preferred embodiment of the present invention as soft styrofoam beads / particles.
  • hard or harder styrofoam beads / particles may also be used, whereby the use of soft styrofoam parts or balls is preferred.
  • FIG. 1 illustrated seat cushion which in principle can also be referred to as a duvet cushion, has a length of 180 cm and a width of 120 cm about a volume of 350 l.
  • the seat cushion In the unloaded state, the seat cushion can be brought into a desired seat shape or lying shape, which is clearly different from the one in here FIG. 1 may differ form shown.
  • FIG. 2 shows a section of the seat cushion of FIG. 1 in the region of its outer shell 1.
  • the sectional view shows that the located inside the seat cushion plastic particles 2 are enclosed by an inner bag 3 of textile material.
  • the inner bag 3 is adapted to the inner shape of the outer shell 1 and thus extends along the inner side 4 of the outer shell 1.
  • FIG. 2 shows that the inset plastic particles 2 have at least two different shapes, namely on the one hand have a spherical shape and on the other hand have an approximately short, rod-shaped form. These are polystyrene beads 5 and polypropylene particles 6.
  • FIG. 3 the styrofoam balls and the polypropylene particles 6 are shown approximately in original size.
  • the polystyrene balls here have a diameter of about 4 mm, while the polypropylene particles have an oval longitudinal cross-section and a length of about 8 mm.
  • other dimensions for the different plastic particles are possible, especially if different comfort and deformation properties are to be achieved for the seat cushion.
  • the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, but also includes the use of other different plastic particles, if they are made of different material with different hardness and different coefficients of friction.
  • the mixing ratio between styrofoam balls and polypropylene particles can vary greatly depending on the application, with a range between 20/80 to 80/20 may be advantageous for the mixing ratio and a residual content is still to be considered.
