Description

  The present invention relates to a fixing device for fixing a fibrous body to an object to be fixed.

  For example, a fibrous body such as a nonwoven fabric may be integrally formed on the back surface of a vehicle seat cushion pad that is an example of a foamed molded body (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3). A metal part such as a spring is fixed to the seat frame to which the seat cushion pad is attached, and the seat cushion pad is attached so as to cover the metal part from above. By integrally forming the fibrous body on the back surface of the seat cushion pad as described above, the back surface of the seat cushion pad and the metal part are not in direct contact with each other. Can be prevented.

  FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a molding die for manufacturing a seat cushion pad. The molding die includes a lower mold 31 for molding the front side of the seat cushion pad and an upper mold 32 for molding the rear side of the seat cushion pad. By making the upper mold 32 face the upper side of the lower mold 31, the closed cavity 33 can be formed in the molding die. By foaming and hardening the foamed resin stock solution 34 injected into the cavity 33, a seat cushion pad corresponding to the shape of the cavity 33 is formed.

  When the fiber body is integrally formed on the back surface of the seat cushion pad, as shown in FIG. 12, for example, the fiber body 35 is attached to the lower surface of the upper mold 32, and in this state, the foamed resin stock solution 34 in the cavity 33 is used. By foaming and curing, the fiber body 35 is integrated with the back surface of the seat cushion pad.

  Examples of methods for attaching the fibrous body to the mold include a method using a fixing pin (see Patent Document 3 above) and a method using a magnetic sheet (see Patent Document 1 above). When the peripheral part of the fibrous body is attached to the upper mold using such a method, the peripheral part of the fibrous body hangs down and enters the cavity when the upper mold is opposed to the upper part of the lower mold. Can be prevented.

  The method using the fixing pin is a method of attaching the fiber body to the mold by fitting the hole formed in the fiber body into the fixing pin fixed to the fixing hole of the mold. However, in this method, when the peripheral edge of the fiber body is fixed with a fixing pin, the position of the fixing pin cannot be seen from the operator side, and it may be difficult to fit the hole of the fiber body into the fixing pin. In addition, it may be difficult to provide a fixing pin in a region corresponding to a portion where the thickness of the seat cushion pad to be molded is thin (such as a thin folded portion), such as a peripheral portion of a mold. In addition, when there is a limitation on the work man-hours, the man-hours for passing the fixing pins through the small holes formed in the fiber body may press the work.

  On the other hand, the method using a magnetic sheet is a method of attaching a fibrous body to a mold by attaching a magnetic sheet to the fibrous body in advance and drawing the magnetic sheet with the magnetic force of a permanent magnet provided on the mold. . However, in this method, since it is necessary to prepare components such as a magnetic sheet and a permanent magnet, another problem that the manufacturing cost increases is caused. In addition, in this method, since there is a magnetic sheet attached to the fiber body, there is a problem that the fiber body part cannot be passed through a meter-reading machine after being sewn.

  The above problems may occur not only when the seat cushion pad is manufactured but also when other foamed molded articles are manufactured. Moreover, not only when manufacturing a foaming molding but the structure which can be fixed easily also when fixing other various fiber bodies to a to-be-fixed object was desired.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the said situation, and it aims at providing the fixing device of the fiber body which can fix a fiber body easily to a to-be-fixed object.

  A fiber body fixing device according to the present invention is a fixing device for fixing a fiber body to an object to be fixed, and includes a fixing member attached to the object to be fixed, and the fixing member includes the fiber.

  According to the present invention, an arbitrary position of the fibrous body can be hooked and fixed to the edge portion of the fixing member simply by pushing the fibrous body into the opening of the fixing member. Therefore, the fiber body can be easily fixed to the fixed object.

  The edge part may be formed so as to taper from the peripheral part of the opening part toward the center part.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the fiber body pushed into the opening part of the fixing member can be easily caught on the front-end | tip part of an edge part.

  A plurality of the edge portions may be formed radially with respect to the central portion of the opening.

  According to the present invention, since the fibrous body can be hooked on the tip end portion of the edge portion formed in a radial manner, the fibrous body can be stably fixed to the fixed object.

  The edge portion may be elastically deformable when the fibrous body is pushed into the opening.

  According to the present invention, when the fiber body is pushed into the opening of the fixing member, the edge portion is elastically deformed, and the edge portion is restored after being pushed in. Therefore, the fiber body can be easily caught on the edge portion. .

  The fixing member may have a groove formed outward from the peripheral edge of the opening, and the edge may be formed at a boundary between the peripheral edge of the opening and the groove.

  According to the present invention, when a part of the fiber body pushed into the opening of the fixing member tries to enter the groove, the edge formed at the boundary between the peripheral edge of the opening and the groove, Since a part of the fiber body is caught, the fiber body can be easily caught on the edge portion.

  The edge portion may be formed so as to be inclined toward the groove portion side.

  According to the present invention, the fiber body can easily enter the groove portion, and the fiber body that has entered the groove portion and is caught by the edge portion is unlikely to come off from the groove portion, so that the fiber body can be more easily caught by the edge portion. In addition, since the tip of the edge portion does not face the inside of the opening, even when a finger is inserted into the opening, the tip of the edge is not caught by the finger, which is safe.

  The fixing member may be made of metal.

  According to the present invention, the edge portion of the fixing member is formed of metal, so that the fiber body can be easily caught on the edge portion without being pushed into the back of the opening of the fixing member. Can do. Moreover, if the fixing member is made of a metal, the durability is high even under a high temperature environment and the deterioration is difficult.

  The fixing device may include a magnetic body that is fixed to the object to be fixed and that attaches the fixing member by magnetic force.

  According to the present invention, the fixing member can be easily attached and detached using the magnetic force of the magnetic body fixed to the fixed object.

  The fixing member may be made of resin.

  According to the present invention, since the edge portion of the fixing member is formed of resin, the edge portion can be elastically deformed when the fiber body is pushed into the opening portion of the fixing member. Thereby, since the edge portion is restored after the fiber body is pushed into the opening of the fixing member, the fiber body can be easily caught on the edge portion. In addition, an inexpensive fixing member formed of resin can be used.

  The fixing device may include an attachment member for pressing and attaching the fixing member to the fixed object.

  According to the present invention, since the fixing member can be firmly attached to the object to be fixed using the attaching member, the fibrous body can be stably fixed to the object to be fixed even if the fixing member is formed of resin. be able to.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a seat cushion pad 10 manufactured using a fixing member according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side view showing an example of an attachment mode of the seat cushion pad 10. However, the seat cushion pad 10 is merely an example of a foam molded body, and the present invention can be used not only for manufacturing various foam molded bodies other than the seat cushion pad 10, but also for various types of objects to be fixed. It can be used to fix the body.

  The seat cushion pad 10 is made of a foamed resin molded body, and in the present embodiment, an example is shown that is formed of a flexible polyurethane foam (hereinafter simply referred to as “urethane foam”). The seat cushion pad 10 is used as a seating portion of a seat of a vehicle by being attached to a vehicle (for example, an automobile) in a state where the urethane foam 16 is covered with a skin (not shown).

  The seat cushion pad 10 can be seated on the front surface portion 11 by being attached with the back surface portion 12 facing the seat frame 9. For example, a metal component such as a spring is fixed to the seat frame 9, and the seat cushion pad 10 is attached in a state where the metal component is in contact with the back surface portion 12.

  In the case where the back surface of the urethane foam 16 is in direct contact with the metal part, problems such as a decrease in durability due to friction and generation of abnormal noise occur. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the fiber body 14 is provided on the back surface portion 12 of the seat cushion pad 10, and the back surface portion 12 of the seat cushion pad 10 is in contact with the metal component via the fiber body 14. Yes. The fibrous body 14 may be formed of any material, but is preferably formed of a material that easily catches on a tapered portion, such as a nonwoven fabric.

  FIG. 3 is a side view showing an example of the molding die 1 for manufacturing the seat cushion pad 10. The molding die 1 includes a lower mold 2 for molding the surface portion 11 side of the seat cushion pad 10 and an upper mold 3 for molding the back surface portion 12 side of the seat cushion pad 10. The lower mold 2 and the upper mold 3 are both made of steel. For example, a temperature control pipe (not shown) is provided around the lower mold 2.

  In this example, the upper die 3 is attached to the lower die 2 so as to be rotatable about a rotation shaft 4. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper die 3 is pivoted about the pivot shaft 4 from the state in which the upper die 3 does not face the lower die 2, so that The mold 2 can be opposed.

  A concave portion 21 having a shape corresponding to the surface portion 11 of the seat cushion pad 10 is formed on the upper surface of the lower die 2 (the surface facing the upper die 3). On the other hand, an inner die 22 having a shape corresponding to the back surface portion 12 of the seat cushion pad 10 is provided on the lower surface of the upper die 3 (the surface facing the lower die 2). The inner mold 22 constitutes a part of the upper mold 3, and a closed cavity 23 is formed between the upper mold 3 and the recess 21 when the upper mold 3 faces the lower mold 2. The seat cushion pad 10 can be manufactured by foaming and curing the foamed resin stock solution in the cavity 23 formed between the lower mold 2 and the upper mold 3 in this manner.

  In this embodiment, after the above-described fibrous body 14 is attached to the lower surface of the inner mold 22 (the surface on the side facing the lower mold 2), the upper mold 3 is rotated to a state facing the lower mold 2, and molding is performed. A cavity 23 is formed in the mold 1. That is, at least a part of the upper side of the cavity 23 is formed by the fiber body 14 attached to the inner mold 22. In this state, the foamed resin stock solution in the cavity 23 is foamed and cured, whereby the fibrous body 14 adheres to the back surface of the urethane foam 16 to be molded, and the seat cushion pad 10 integrated with the fibrous body 14 is manufactured. be able to.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating an example of an attachment mode of the fiber body 14. After the fiber body 14 is disposed along the lower surface of the upper mold 3, more specifically, the lower surface of the inner mold 22, the fibrous body 14 is fixed to the inner mold 22, which is an example of an object to be fixed, using the fixing device 5. The The fixing device 5 includes, for example, a fixing pin 51 and a fixing plate 52.

  When there is no problem in the mounting man-hours and workability, the fixing pin 51 is fixed to a fixing hole (not shown) formed in the lower surface of the inner mold 22, and is formed in the fiber body 14 with respect to the fixing pin 51. The hole that fits. According to the fixing pin 51, the fibrous body 14 can be firmly fixed. In the present embodiment, the fixing pin 51 is used when fixing the central portion side of the fibrous body 14, that is, the portion inside the peripheral portion. 51 is preferably used.

  The fixing plate 52 is an example of a fixing member that is attached in advance to the inner mold 22 that is an object to be fixed. The thickness of the fixed plate 52 is preferably about 1 mm to 3 mm. In this example, the fiber body 14 can be hooked on the peripheral edge of the opening 53 and fixed by pushing a portion of the fiber body 14 facing the fixing plate 52 into the opening 53 from the outside. In the present embodiment, it is preferable to use the fixing plate 52 when fixing the peripheral portion of the fiber body 14. However, the fixing member is not limited to the plate-like member.

  5A to 5G are plan views showing a configuration example of the fixed plate 52. In this example, the case where the fixing plate 52 is formed of metal will be described.

  5A to 5G, a circular opening 53 is formed at the center of the rectangular fixed plate 52, and the fibrous body pushed into the opening 53 at the periphery of the opening 53. 14 is formed. In this way, by simply pushing the fiber body 14 into the opening 53 of the fixing plate 52, any position of the fiber body 14 can be hooked and fixed to the edge portion 54 of the fixing plate 52. For example, the fiber body 14 can be easily fixed to the inner mold 22).

  In the example of FIGS. 5A to 5D, the groove portion 55 is formed from the peripheral edge portion of the opening portion 53 toward the outside (the direction opposite to the center portion side). The number of the groove portions 55 may be any number as long as it is one or more. FIG. 5A shows four examples, FIG. 5B shows three examples, FIG. 5C shows two examples, and FIG. In these examples, an example in which the groove portion 55 is rectangular is shown, but it may be formed in another shape such as an arc shape. Further, the shape of the opening 53 is not limited to a circular shape, and may be formed in another shape such as a rectangular shape.

  The edge portion 54 is formed at a boundary portion between the peripheral edge portion of the opening portion 53 and the groove portion 55, that is, an entrance portion from the opening portion 53 to the groove portion 55. More specifically, two edge portions 54 are formed in association with each groove portion 55 so as to protrude from both end edges of the inlet portion of the groove portion 55 in a direction approaching each other. In this example, each edge portion 54 has a tapered shape. The tip portions of the two edge portions 54 facing each other form an entrance to the groove portion 55, and the interval between the entrances is formed to be smaller than the width of the groove portion 55.

  According to the configuration illustrated in FIGS. 5A to 5D, when a part of the fiber body 14 pushed into the opening 53 of the fixing plate 52 tries to enter the groove 55, the peripheral edge of the opening 53 is used. A part of the fibrous body 14 is caught on the edge portion 54 formed at the boundary portion between the groove portion 55 and the fibrous body 14 can be easily caught on the edge portion 54.

  5E to 5G, the edge portion 54 is formed so as to taper from the peripheral edge portion of the opening portion 53 toward the center portion side. A plurality of edge portions 54 are formed radially with respect to the central portion of the opening 53, but any of them has a relatively short shape (for example, the opening 53 does not reach the central portion of the opening 53). The length is less than half of the radius). In the example of FIGS. 5E and 5F, only the tip of the edge portion 54 is located on the center side of the opening 53, whereas in the example of FIG. 5G, the inscribed circle of the tip of the edge portion 54 is used. The flange part 56 extended to the center part side of the opening part 53 to the same extent is formed, and the safety for the worker is improved.

  The shape of the tip portion of the edge portion 54 is an acute angle in FIGS. 5E and 5G, whereas the shape is an obtuse angle in FIG. 5F. From the viewpoint of catching the fibrous body 14 with respect to the edge portion 54, it is preferable that the tip portion of the edge portion 54 has an acute angle, but from the viewpoint of safety for the operator, the tip portion of the edge portion 54 has an obtuse angle. It is preferable to do it. However, the shape of the tip portion of the edge portion 54 is not limited to the shape as described above, and may be a shape that forms a right angle, for example.

  According to the configuration illustrated in FIGS. 5E to 5G, the edge portion 54 is formed so as to taper from the peripheral edge portion of the opening portion 53 toward the center portion. The pushed fiber body 14 can be easily caught on the tip of the edge portion 54. Moreover, since the fiber body 14 can be hooked on the front-end | tip part of the edge part 54 formed radially, the fiber body 14 can be stably fixed to a to-be-fixed object (for example, inner mold | type 22).

  The metal fixing plate 52 having a shape illustrated in FIGS. 5A to 5G is preferably formed of, for example, iron or spring steel considering durability. In this case, the fixing plate 52 can be attached by a magnetic force by fixing the magnetic body to the fixed object (for example, the inner mold 22). However, the fixing plate 52 may be formed of other metals such as stainless steel, and in this case, the fixing plate 52 may be attached using other attachment members such as screws.

  6A and 6B are plan views showing another configuration example of the fixing plate 52. FIG. In this example, the case where the fixing plate 52 is formed of metal will be described.

  6A and 6B, a circular opening 53 is formed at the center of the rectangular fixed plate 52, and the fibrous body pushed into the opening 53 at the periphery of the opening 53. 14 is formed. In this way, by simply pushing the fiber body 14 into the opening 53 of the fixing plate 52, any position of the fiber body 14 can be hooked and fixed to the edge portion 54 of the fixing plate 52. For example, the fiber body 14 can be easily fixed to the inner mold 22).

  In the example of FIGS. 6A and 6B, the edge portion 54 is formed so as to taper from the peripheral edge portion of the opening portion 53 toward the center portion side. A plurality of edge portions 54 are formed radially with respect to the center portion of the opening portion 53, and each of them has a relatively long shape (for example, the radius of the opening portion 53) such that the tip portion reaches the center portion of the opening portion 53. The length is 1/2 or more of the length. The shape of the tip portion of the edge portion 54 forms an acute angle, and the angle of the tip portion is smaller in the example of FIG. 6A than in the example of FIG. 6B. However, the shape of the tip portion of the edge portion 54 is not limited to the above shape.

  According to the configuration illustrated in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the edge portion 54 is formed so as to taper from the peripheral edge portion of the opening portion 53 toward the center portion. The pushed fiber body 14 can be easily caught on the tip of the edge portion 54. Moreover, since the fiber body 14 can be hooked on the front-end | tip part of the edge part 54 formed radially, the fiber body 14 can be stably fixed to a to-be-fixed object (for example, inner mold | type 22).

  In particular, since a large number of relatively long edge portions 54 that reach the center of the opening 53 are formed, a relatively small space formed by an inscribed circle at the tip of the edge 54. The fiber body 14 can be hooked on the tip portion of the edge portion 54 only by slightly pushing the fiber body 14 into the inside. Therefore, when the concave portion corresponding to the pushing amount of the fiber body 14 with respect to the opening 53 is formed in the fixed object, the depth of the concave portion can be reduced, so that it is also applicable to a fixed object with a small thickness. Is possible.

  The metal fixing plate 52 having the shape illustrated in FIGS. 6A and 6B is preferably formed of, for example, iron or spring steel considering durability. In this case, since the fixing plate 52 can be attached by magnetic force by fixing the magnetic body to the fixed object (for example, the inner mold 22), the fixing plate 52 can be easily attached and detached. However, the fixing plate 52 may be formed of other metals such as stainless steel, and in this case, the fixing plate 52 may be attached using other attachment members such as screws.

  In the examples of FIGS. 5A to 5G and FIGS. 6A and 6B, the edge portion 54 of the fixing plate 52 is formed of metal, so that the fibrous body 14 is pushed into the back of the opening 53 of the fixing plate 52. Even if not, the fiber body 14 can be easily caught on the edge portion 54. Further, if the fixing plate 52 is made of metal, the durability is high even in a high temperature environment and the deterioration is difficult.

  7A to 7D are plan views showing still other configuration examples of the fixing plate 52. FIG. In this example, the case where the fixing plate 52 is formed of resin will be described.

  7A to 7D, a circular opening 53 is formed at the center of the rectangular fixed plate 52, and the fibrous body pushed into the opening 53 at the periphery of the opening 53. 14 is formed. In this way, by simply pushing the fiber body 14 into the opening 53 of the fixing plate 52, any position of the fiber body 14 can be hooked and fixed to the edge portion 54 of the fixing plate 52. For example, the fiber body 14 can be easily fixed to the inner mold 22).

  7A to 7D are the same as those in FIG. 5A except that the fixing plate 52 is formed of resin and the insertion hole 57 for inserting a screw or the like is formed. 7B has a configuration corresponding to FIG. 5E, FIG. 7C has a configuration corresponding to FIG. 6A, and FIG. 7D has a configuration corresponding to FIG. 6B. About the corresponding structure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to a figure and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The resin-made fixing plate 52 having a shape illustrated in FIGS. 7A to 7D is preferably configured to be elastically deformable, for example, formed of vinyl chloride or the like. By forming the edge portion 54 of the fixing plate 52 from resin, the edge portion 54 can be elastically deformed when the fibrous body 14 is pushed into the opening 53 of the fixing plate 52. Thereby, since the edge part 54 is restored after the fiber body 14 is pushed into the opening 53 of the fixing plate 52, the fiber body 14 can be easily caught on the edge part 54. In addition, an inexpensive fixing plate 52 made of resin can be used. However, the fixing plate 52 may be formed of an elastically deformable material other than resin.

  FIG. 8 is a plan view showing an example of an attachment member 58 used when attaching the resin-made fixing plate 52 exemplified in FIGS. 7A to 7D. The mounting member 58 is a member for pressing and fixing the fixing plate 52 to an object to be fixed (for example, the inner mold 22), and is preferably formed of metal. In this case, the attachment member 58 may be formed of metal such as iron or spring steel considering durability, or may be formed of other metal such as stainless steel.

  For example, the attachment member 58 is formed in a rectangular shape having the same outer shape as the fixed plate 52, and an opening 59 is formed in the center thereof. Further, the attachment member 58 is formed with an insertion hole 60 for inserting a screw or the like at the same position as the fixing plate 52. In a state where the mounting member 58 and the fixing plate 52 are overlapped, a screw or the like is inserted into the insertion hole 60 of the mounting member 58 and the insertion hole 57 of the fixing plate 52 and is fastened to an object to be fixed. The fixing plate 52 can be attached in a state of being sandwiched between the fixing object and the fixed object.

  The opening 59 of the attachment member 58 is formed in a circular shape, for example, and when the attachment member 58 is opposed to the fixed plate 52, at least the opening 53 and the edge portion 54 of the fixed plate 52 are the openings of the attachment member 58. The shape is exposed from 59. Thereby, the fibrous body 14 can be pushed into the opening 53 of the fixing plate 52 through the opening 59 of the mounting member 58, and the pushed-in fibrous body 14 can be satisfactorily hooked on the edge portion 54.

  By using the mounting member 58 as described above, the fixing plate 52 can be firmly attached to the object to be fixed. Therefore, even if the fixing plate 52 is made of resin, the fibrous body 14 can be stably attached to the object to be fixed. And can be fixed.

  FIG. 9 is a partially enlarged view of an example of the fixed plate 52. In this example, a configuration in which the groove portion 55 is formed in the peripheral portion of the opening 53 as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5D and 7A will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 9, it is preferable that the edge part 54 is formed so that it may incline toward the groove part 55 side. In this example, the angle θ formed by the direction D2 in which the edge portion 54 protrudes is 90 ° or less with respect to the direction D1 from the center of the opening 53 toward the groove 55. As a result, the fiber body 14 can easily enter the groove portion 55, and the fiber body 14 that has entered the groove portion 55 and is caught by the edge portion 54 is not easily detached from the groove portion 55, so that the fiber body 14 is more easily caught by the edge portion 54. can do. In addition, since the tip of the edge portion 54 does not face the inner side (center side) of the opening 53, even when a finger is inserted into the opening 53, the tip of the edge 54 is attached to the finger. It is safe without being caught.

  FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of an attachment mode of the fixing plate 52. As shown in FIG. 10, the inner mold 22, which is an example of an object to be fixed, has a recess 61 formed at a position facing the opening 53 of the fixing plate 52. The depth of the recess 61 is preferably about 3 mm to 10 mm. Accordingly, when the fiber body 14 is pushed into the opening 53 of the fixing plate 52, the fiber body 14 can be pushed into the recess 61, so that the fiber body 14 can be more reliably hooked to the edge portion 54. .

  A magnetic body 62 having a shape corresponding to the peripheral edge of the fixed plate 52 (a portion outside the opening 53) is fixed to the inner mold 22, and the fixed plate 52 is attached by the magnetic force of the magnetic body 62. Yes. Thus, the fixing plate 52 can be easily attached and detached by attaching the fixing plate 52 by magnetic force.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of a method for manufacturing the seat cushion pad 10. When manufacturing the seat cushion pad 10, first, the fixing plate 52 is attached in advance to the inner mold 22 (step S101: fixing member attaching step). In the fixing member attaching step, as described above, the fixing plate 52 may be attached by the magnetic force of the magnetic body 62 by fixing the magnetic body 62 to the inner mold 22 in advance. Alternatively, in the fixing member attaching step, the fixing plate 52 may be pressed against the inner mold 22 and attached by the attaching member 58.

  In this state, the upper mold 3 is opened with respect to the lower mold 2, and the fiber body 14 is disposed along the lower surface of the inner mold 22 (step S102). Thereafter, the fiber body 14 is pushed into the opening 53 of the fixing plate 52, and the fiber body 14 is hooked and fixed to the edge portion 54 (step S103: fiber body fixing step). It is preferable that the opening 53 and the edge 54 of the fixing plate 52 are configured so that the operator can insert a finger into the opening 53. In this case, the operator fixes the opening in the fibrous body fixing step. By pushing the fiber body 14 into the opening 53 of the plate 52 with a finger, the fiber body 14 can be hooked on the edge portion 54 and easily fixed. In the fiber body fixing step, the fiber body 14 may be attached to the inner mold 22 using another fixing device 5 such as the fixing pin 51.

  The above steps S101 to S103 are an embodiment of the method for fixing the fibrous body 14 according to the present invention. That is, the fixing method of the fibrous body 14 according to the present invention can constitute a part of the manufacturing method of the foamed molded body (for example, the seat cushion pad 10).

  Thereafter, after the foamed resin stock solution is injected into the recess 21 of the lower mold 2 (step S104), the upper mold 3 is opposed to the upper side of the lower mold 2 by rotating the upper mold 3 around the rotation shaft 4. Thus, the molding die 1 is closed, and the cavity 23 is formed in the molding die 1 (step S105). The foamed resin stock solution is foamed and cured in the cavity 23 thus formed, thereby molding the seat cushion pad 10 integrated with the fiber body 14 (step S106: foam molding process). Then, the molding die 1 is opened by turning the upper die 3 around the turning shaft 4 (step S107), and the seat cushion pad 10 is taken out from the recess 21 of the lower die 2 (step S108). And the seat cushion pad 10 as a molded object can be obtained.

  The seat cushion pad 10 is not limited to an automobile, and may be used for other vehicles, or may be used for purposes other than the vehicle. Further, the seat cushion pad 10 is not limited to the one used as the seating portion, and may be used for other portions such as a backrest portion, for example. The seat cushion pad 10 is not limited to a configuration formed of a flexible polyurethane foam, and can be formed of other various materials. In addition, the foam molded body manufactured according to the present invention is not limited to the seat cushion pad 10 and may be another foam molded body.

  The configuration of attaching the fibrous body 14 may be a configuration in which the fibrous body 14 is attached to an object to be fixed only by the fixing plate 52, and the fixing device 5 other than the fixing pin 51 (for example, The structure which attaches the fiber body 14 to a to-be-fixed object using a magnetic sheet etc. may be sufficient.
