【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、表皮一体成形によりヘッドレストの発泡成形体を被覆する穴開きヘッドレスト用表皮の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
自動車などのシートバック上部に取付けられるヘッドレストのひとつに穴開きタイプのヘッドレストがある。斯るヘッドレストは、通常、真中に後頭部がフィットする穴を設けた表皮付き発泡成形品になっていて、発泡成形品の周面を表皮が覆う構造になっている。
この種の穴開きヘッドレスト用表皮の製造は、従来、特公平3−69683号公報(従来技術1)や特開平9−70837号公報(従来技術2)等の記載技術によって造られてきた。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかるに、従来技術1によれば、最後の縫い合わせ部分である表皮下面部を縫製する際、通常の縫い方では端末接合部(縫い代)が意匠面側に現われてしまい、見栄えが悪くなっていた。端末接合部を袋状表皮の内側に隠蔽させるには、特殊なミシンを使わなければならなかった。
また、従来技術2によれば、表皮に後からインサートを挿着するため、インサート形状が限定され、環状の芯体部をもつインサートは挿着できなかった。両ステー部間距離に対し環状芯体部が大きなインサートはもっての他であった。
【0004】
本発明は上記問題点を解決するもので、環状の芯体部をもつインサートに対して仕上げることが可能で、しかも、両ステー部間距離に対し芯体部の幅が大きなインサートでも対応でき、且つ、特殊な機械を使わずして、通常の縫い方でも縫い代が外に出ない穴開きヘッドレスト用表皮の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成すべく、請求項1に記載の発明の要旨は、ステー部と環状の芯体部とを具備するインサートに係る該芯体部を覆う穴あきヘッドレスト用表皮の製造方法において、ヘッドレスト下面になる表皮下面部用として両ステー孔間を通って分割構成された複数の表皮小片を準備する一方、前記芯体部を組み入れながら表皮下面部だけが足らない表返しした表皮主要部を形成し、芯体部を覆った該表皮主要部の下面開口周縁をめくりあげその表皮裏面を外側に向けた状態とし、続いて、下面開口を上にした該表皮主要部へ下から前記表皮小片をあてがい、前記表皮小片の二つでステー部に両サイドから挟み込むようにしながら、前記表皮主要部と各表皮小片の意匠面同士を対向させて前記下面開口周縁に各表皮小片の対応周縁を縫い合わせ、また両ステー孔間をつなぐスリットを残して表皮小片同士を縫合することにより表皮下面部さらに環状筒体を形成し、しかる後、外側に出ている表皮主要部及び表皮下面部の表皮裏面を環状筒体内へ押し込み、表返しにすることを特徴とする穴あきヘッドレスト用表皮の製造方法にある。
請求項2の発明たる穴あきヘッドレスト用表皮の製造方法は、請求項1で、馬蹄形表皮片の意匠面と縫い合わされた表皮片の意匠面とを向かい合わせるようにして互いに重ね合わせ、その内周縁部分に縫目を形成した表皮体とし、該表皮体の内側下縁部分の両サイドをつなぐ表皮片の一端縁と前記内側下縁部分の片方の意匠面同士を重ね合せて縫合すると共に、該表皮体を裏返し状態のまま前記芯体部を組み入れ、次に、馬蹄形表皮片の外周縁部分に、前記縫い合わされた表皮片の端縁を意匠面同士が対向するよう重ね合わせ、この重ね合う周縁部分を縫合した後、表返しにしてインサートが組み入れられた馬蹄形の筒状表皮体とし、その後、表皮体の内側下縁部分の両サイドをつなぐ前記表皮片の他端縁ともう一方の前記内側下縁部分とを縫合し前記表皮主要部を形成することを特徴とする。
【0006】
本発明のごとく、芯体部を組み入れながら表皮下面部だけが足らない表皮主要部を形成すると、環状の芯体部であっても難なく表皮内にこれを組込むことができる。そして、表皮主要部は縫い代を意匠面側に出さずに簡単に縫い上げることができる。特に、下面開口を上にした該表皮主要部へ下から前記表皮小片をあてがい、前記表皮小片の二つでステー部に両サイドから挟み込むようにしながら、前記表皮主要部と各表皮小片の意匠面同士を対向させて前記下面開口周縁に各表皮小片の対応周縁を縫い合わせると、対向部同士の縫合は、その結合時点で平面的状態が保たれるので、縫合作業は容易であり、汎用機械を用いたミシン縫い等によって簡単且つ手早く造り上げることができる。表返した表皮の意匠面に結合部に係る縫い代が現れず、見栄えが良く、品質的に優れたものとなる。
また、ヘッドレスト下面になる表皮下面部用として両ステー孔間を通って分割構成された複数の表皮片を準備すると、下面開口周縁と個々の表皮小片の対応周縁とを両者の意匠面同士を対向させるようにして縫い合わせ、両ステー孔間をつなぐスリットを残して表皮主要部への表皮下面部の取付けが可能になり、環状筒体が形成される。芯体部を覆った該表皮主要部の下面開口周縁をめくりあげその表皮裏面を外側に向けた状態とし、続いて、下面開口を上にした該表皮主要部へ下から前記表皮小片をあてがうと、表皮主要部の下面開口周縁がめくりあげられ、表皮裏面を外側に向けた状態にしてあるので、表皮主要部及び表皮小片(表皮下面部)の表皮裏面がたやすく外側に向けられるようにして縫い合わすことができる。両ステー部間距離に対し芯体部の幅が大きなインサートでも対応できる。その後、この環状筒体の外側に出ている表皮裏面を環状筒体内へ押し込んで表返しにすると、何ら難しい作業をなすことなく意匠面側に縫い代のない所望の穴開きヘッドレスト用表皮が出来上がる。
請求項2の発明のごとく、馬蹄形表皮片の意匠面と縫い合わされた表皮片の意匠面とを向かい合わせるようにして互いに重ね合わせ、その内周縁部分に縫目を形成し、また該表皮体の内側下縁部分の両サイドをつなぐ表皮片の一端縁と前記内側下縁部分の片方の意匠面同士を重ね合せて縫合し、さらに馬蹄形表皮片の外周縁部分に、前記縫い合わされた表皮片の端縁を意匠面同士が対向するよう重ね合わせ、この重ね合う周縁部分を縫合すると、縫合は全て縫われる互いの表皮片(或いは馬蹄形表皮片,表皮小片)の表皮裏面が外側に向けられるように合せて、その周縁を縫うことになるので、特殊な機械を用いることなく汎用マシンを使った縫い方で可能になる。該表皮体の内側下縁部分の両サイドをつなぐ表皮片の一端縁と前記内側下縁部分の片方の意匠面同士を重ね合せて縫合すると共に、該表皮体を裏返し状態のまま前記芯体部を組み入れ、次に、馬蹄形表皮片の外周縁部分に、前記縫い合わされた表皮片の端縁を意匠面同士が対向するよう重ね合わせ、この重ね合う周縁部分を縫合すると、環状の芯体部を備えるインサートにあっても、芯体部を組み入れながら環状筒体表皮を造っていくので、出来上ったヘッドレスト用表皮内に芯体部をきれいに納めることができる。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明に係る穴開きヘッドレスト用表皮の製造方法の実施形態について詳述する。
図1〜図12は、本発明の穴開きヘッドレスト用表皮の製造方法の一形態で、図1は穴開きヘッドレスト用表皮(以下、「ヘッドレスト用表皮」又は単に「表皮」という。)の斜視図、図2はインサートの斜視図、図3はヘッドレスト用表皮を部分構成する三つの表皮片の平面図、図4は図3の表皮片が縫合された斜視図、図5は図4の縫合された表皮片に馬蹄形表皮片が縫合された表皮体の斜視図、図6は表皮下面部を構成する表皮小片の平面図、図7は図6の表皮小片を縫合して形成された表皮下面部の斜視図、図8は図5の表皮体から表皮主要部にするためのヘッドレスト用表皮の下側筒状部をつくる表皮片の斜視図、図9は図5の表皮体に図8の表皮片を取り付けた後、インサートを組み入れて馬蹄形の筒状表皮体を形成した斜視図、図10は図9の筒状表皮体にヘッドレスト用表皮の下側筒状部をつくる表皮片を縫合している状態の斜視図、図11は図10の縫合を終えて表皮主要部を完成させ、これに表皮下面部を取着する姿態の斜視図、図12は表皮主要部の下面開口周縁と表皮下面部の対応周縁とを縫い合わせて環状筒体たるへッドレスト用表皮を完成させた斜視図である。
図1〜図12中、表皮片1〜5,馬蹄形表皮片6,表皮小片7a〜7cに表わしたハッチ模様Eは、ファブリック表皮片に係る意匠面側を示す。
【0008】
最終製品たるヘッドレスト用表皮Aは、図1に示すごとく、インサート8が組み入れられて環状(ドーナツ状)に縫製され、乗員の後頭部が当たる内周部を穴開き部分Vとしている。表皮下面部に設けたステー孔73からインサート8のステー部81が突出して、図略のシートバックの頂部に固定支持されるようになっている。符号75は発泡原料の注入口である。インサート8を組込んでヘッドレスト用表皮Aを完成後、発泡原料を表皮内へ注入する時にこの注入口75を使用する。注入口75への発泡原料の注入後、表皮一体成形されたヘッドレストに仕上がっていく。
発泡成形体を覆って立体形状となるヘッドレスト用表皮Aは、ファブリック表皮で構成され、次のようにして造られる。
【0009】
まず、製造に先立ち、ヘッドレスト用表皮が平面展開してできる表皮片1〜5,馬蹄形表皮片6,表皮小片7a〜7cを準備する。夫々の表皮片1〜5,馬蹄形表皮片6,表皮小片7a〜7cの周縁には一定必要量の縫い代fが予め補われている。表皮片1〜5と馬蹄形表皮片6とで表皮主要部Gがつくられ、表皮小片7a〜7cで表皮下面部7がつくられる。
ここで、表皮片1〜5,馬蹄形表皮片6,表皮小片7a〜7cの素材については、一般にファブリック表皮等が用いられるが、具体的には、ファブリック表皮にソリッドのポリウレタンフィルムを裏打ちしたものやファブリック表皮にウレタン発泡シート,ポリウレタンフィルムを一体的に重ね合わせたもの等である。アクリル,ポリアミド等の合成繊維をパイル糸とし、綿,レーヨン等を地経にしたカットパイル織物を用いてもよい。カットパイル織物には、パイル織物のパイル抜け防止の目的で樹脂コーテイングが施されている。
【0010】
また、へッドレスト用表皮の縫合過程で、これに組込まれるインサート8を準備する(図2)。インサート8は、ステー部81と該ステー部間距離W2 よりその幅W1 が大きな環状の芯体部82とを備える。具体的には、パイプを加工して、図2のようにΩ字状に折曲げ芯体部82の部分が膨らむようにしてさらに両脚を平行状態にせばめたフレーム8aを造る。そして、両脚基部にバー8bを横架させ、バー8bの両端とフレーム8aとを溶接固定する。バー8bより突き出た二本の脚部分がステー部81になり、その他の部分がステー部間距離W1 より両サイドに張出す環状芯体部82を構成している。
【0011】
へッドレスト用表皮の製造にあたっては、最初に、所定形状に裁断された上記表皮片1〜5のうち、穴開き部分Vの内側から背面部分を形成する三つの表皮片1〜3を取り出す(図3)。図示のごとく、各表皮片1〜3は、穴開き部分Vにあたるところが幅小で、背面部分にあたるところが幅広となる形状をしている。
そして、上記表皮片1の一方の側縁に、隣接する表皮片2の側縁を意匠面同士が対向するようにして重ね合わせ、その側縁部分を縫合する(図4)。符号S1 はその縫目を示す。同様に、表皮片1の他方の側縁に、隣接する表皮片3の側縁を重ね合わせ、その側縁部分を縫糸tによって結合する。符号S2 は縫糸tによる縫目である。
縫目の形成には多くの種類があり、特に限定するものではないが、本実施形態に係る表皮片同士の縫い形式は、全て本縫い仕様を採用している。
【0012】
しかる後、縫い合わされた上記表皮片1〜3の意匠面Iと、別に用意した馬蹄形表皮片6の意匠面Iとを向かい合わせるようにして互いに重ね合わせる。そして、その内周縁部分を本縫いして縫目S3 を形成する。こうして、図5のような表皮体Hが出来る。
馬蹄形表皮片6は、文字通りほぼ馬蹄形で、側縁下端部の切欠き部分61,61をつなぐ表皮片4が縫合されて環状となり、ヘッドレストの前側部分を構成する。
【0013】
一方、上記表皮体Hの内側下縁部分dの両サイドをつなぐ表皮片4,5を用意する(図8)。表皮片4が、馬蹄形表皮片6に縫合され、ヘッドレストの前面部を形成し、表皮片5が、該表皮片2,3,4に縫合され、穴開き内周部分から背面部を形成する。
表皮片4,5の対応側縁の意匠面同士を重ね合せて、この重ね合わせた周縁部分を縫合する。該縫合により縫目S5 が形成される。
【0014】
続いて、前記表皮体Hの内側下縁部分dと表皮片4,5の対応側縁の意匠面同士を重ね合せて、表皮片4,5の一端縁と表皮体Hとを縫合する。符号S6 は斯る縫合による縫目を示す。
そして、表皮体Hを図5の裏返し状態のまま、インサート8の芯体部82を組み入れ、これを各表皮片1〜3で巻き込むようにして、その端縁bを馬蹄形表皮片6の外周縁部分62に意匠面同士が対向するよう重ね合わせる。この重ね合う周縁部分を縫合することによって、縫目S4 をつくる。その後、表返しにして、図9のようなインサート8が組み入れられた馬蹄形の筒状表皮体Dとする。
符号Oは空洞部で、インサート8を埋設して表皮一体の発泡成形体が封入される環状空洞部の上半部分に相当する。
【0015】
次いで、表皮片4,5の他端縁と表皮体Hのもう一方の内側下縁部分dとを縫合していく(図10)。符号S7 はその縫目を示す。ここでも、内側下縁部分dと表皮片4,5の対応側縁の意匠面同士が重ね合わされ、その部分の表皮裏面Rが外側に向けられた状態で縫い合わされることになる。
こうして、図11のような表皮下面部7だけが足らない表皮主要部Gを形成する。尚、表皮主要部Gによってインサート8の芯体部82が覆われることになるが、その下面開口周縁gはめくり上げ、表皮裏面Rを外側に向けた状態にしておく。
【0016】
ところで、上述の表皮主要部Gを完成させる傍ら、表皮下面部7になる三枚の表皮小片7a〜7cを用意する(図6)。
両表皮小片7a,7bは対向縁の中央部71,72が矩形に突出している。また、表皮小片7b,7cの対向縁には、両ステー部が挿通するステー孔73用の半孔731が左右位置にそれぞれ設けられている。
【0017】
表皮下面部7については前処理が行われる。まず、表皮小片7a,7bの意匠面同士が向かい合うようにして中央部71,72を重ね合わせる。表皮裏面側に縫い代fが出るように、対向縁両端部を縫い合わせ表皮小片7dとする(図7)。中央部71,72の上縁を未結合のまま残して、その両側縁にかけてL字状の縫目αを形成することになるが、本実施形態では、中央部71,72の上縁部も部分的に縫い込んで縫目βを形成している。残された上縁部開口が発泡原料の注入口75になる。
表皮小片7b,7cについては、この段階では未だ縫合しない。図7中、符号fは表皮小片7b,7cを縫い合わすための縫い代で、符号ξ,ηは、へッドレスト表皮Aが出来上ったとき、スリット74内に入り込んで互いに当接して発泡原料注入時に漏れ止めをなす舌片を示す。
【0018】
ここで、図6,図7のような表皮下面部7を本実施形態は用いるが、これに代え、図13や図15のような表皮下面部7を準備することもできる。
図13は図6の表皮小片7a,7bによる縫い合わせはなく、一枚物の表皮小片7eを表皮小片7a,7b分の大きさに裁断したものである。表皮小片7eの注入口は77は、発泡原料の注入ノズル(図示せず)に合う円孔とする。また、表皮小片7c,7eがつくるスリット74の対向縁に図14のような雄型クリップ(或いはファスナ)k1 と雌型クリップ(或いはファスナ)k2 を縫いつけて両者の嵌合でスリット74が閉まる構成にする。図13で示す表皮小片7c,7eを縫い合わすための縫い代fの部分も、クリップやファスナ等としてもよい。尚、この場合のクリップやファスナ等は縫合とみなす。
図15は、本実施形態の表皮小片7a〜7cに加え、これらと同じ材料からなる舌片78を別個独立して準備し、該舌片78を注入口75から見て遠い側にあるスリット縁(すなわち表皮小片7c)に縫合する。符号S11はその縫目を示す。舌片78は横幅がスリット74の長さに略等しくし、先端部分に括れ部781を介して両サイドに出っ張る張り出し部782を形成するものである。括れ部781は縫目βで狭められた注入口75より細幅に形成され、張り出し部782はその注入口75を越える幅広に形成されている。そして、張り出し部782を折り重ね、舌片78を注入口75へ挿入すると、張り出し部782がスリット74をくぐり抜けると同時に空洞部O内で展開する構成である(図16)。
図13や図15ごとくの表皮下面部7は、後述するように、発泡成形時にスリット74の口を確実に閉じることができ、より好ましくなる。
【0019】
表皮下面部7の表皮小片7c,7dと表皮主要部Gが揃ったところで、次に、これらを縫い合わせる。図11のように下面開口を上にした表皮主要部Gへ、下から表皮小片7c,7dをあてがう。各表皮小片7c,7dと表皮主要部Gの意匠面同士を対向させて、表皮小片7c,7dでステー部81に両サイドから挟み込むようにしながらあてがう。表皮小片7c,7dの半孔731がステー部81を取巻く。そして、表皮主要部Gの下面開口周縁gと個々の表皮小片7c,7dの対応周縁とを一致させて、両者を縫い合わせる。また、両ステー孔間をつなぐスリット74を残して表皮小片同士7c,7dを縫合する。かくして、表皮下面部7及び環状筒体Aが形成される。図12では、表皮下面部7がスリット74にステー部81を挿通させて下面開口周縁gの下側に位置している。表皮下面部7はステー部間のスリット74だけ口が開いている。
ここで、表皮小片7c,7dでステー部81に両サイドから挟み込むようにしながらあてがうので、ステー部間距離W2 より芯体部82の幅W1 の方が大きなインサート8であっても芯体部82に邪魔されずに表皮主要部Gへの表皮下面部7が取着可能となる。また、表皮主要部Gの下面開口周縁gがめくりあげられ、表皮裏面Rを外側に向けた状態にしてあるので、表皮主要部G及び表皮小片7c,7d(表皮下面部7)の表皮裏面Rがたやすく外側に向けられるようにして縫い合わすことができる。図12の符号S9 はこの縫目を示す。斯る縫い合わせによって環状筒体すなわちへッドレスト用表皮Aが完成する。
【0020】
かくのごとく、表皮主要部Gへの表皮下面部7の縫合で、環状筒体すなわちヘッドレスト用表皮Aが出来上がる。しかし、この段階では、ヘッドレスト用表皮Aがまだ部分的に裏返し状態にある。
そこで、最後に、図12の白抜き矢印のような力を加え、外側に出ている表皮主要部G及び表皮下面部7の表皮裏面Rを環状筒体内へ押し込んで、表返しにする。斯る作業を行うと、マジックを観るごとく、インサートを組み入れた図1のような所望のへッドレスト用表皮Aが得られている。
製品としてのへッドレストは、この後、注入口75から発泡原料を注入し、表皮一体成形すれば完成する。
【0021】
ところで、図13のような表皮下面部7を用いる場合は、発泡原料を注入し表皮一体成形時に、クリップk1 ,k2 でスリット74を閉じておけば、成形時の発泡原料がスリット外へ洩れ出るのを阻止し、好適となる。
また、舌片78を表皮小片7cに縫合した場合は、舌片を折り曲げ、張り出し部782がスリット74をくぐり空洞部Oで展開するようにして、しかる後、発泡原料を注入し表皮一体成形を行えば、スリット74が舌片78で覆われているのでスリットからの発泡原料の洩れを防ぐことができ、好適となる。尚、図16では、互いの位置関係を判り易くすべく、表皮片7bに対し舌片78が浮き上がった状態に描かれている。しかし、実際には、括れ部781が縫目βで狭められた注入口75に挟まれ、舌片78は表皮片7bに密着した状態で発泡成形がなされ、見栄えの良い状態になっている。
【0022】
このように構成したヘッドレスト用表皮の製造方法によれば、意匠面側に縫い代fを全く出さずにインサート8を組込んでへッドレスト用表皮Aに仕上げることができる。縫合は全て縫われる互いの表皮片(或いは馬蹄形表皮片,表皮小片)の表皮裏面Rが外側に向けられるように合せて、その周縁を縫うことになるので、特殊な機械を用いることなく汎用マシンを使った縫い方で可能になる。すなわち、対向部同士の縫合は、その結合時点で平面的状態が保たれるので、縫合作業は容易であり、汎用機械を用いたミシン縫い等によって簡単且つ手早く造り上げることができる。かくして、特公平3−69683号公報等にみられた縫い代部分の不都合は解消する。表返した表皮の意匠面Iに結合部に係る縫い代fが現れず、見栄えが良く、品質的に優れたものとなっている。
また、環状の芯体部82を備えるインサート8にあっても、芯体部82を組み入れながら環状筒体表皮を造っていくので、出来上ったヘッドレスト用表皮内に芯体部82をきれいに納めることができる。環状芯体部82を採用できるので、全体的に頑強で衝撃にも強い安定したへッドレストとなる。U字状のインサートしか採用できなかった特開平9−70837号公報等に見られた制約も取り除かれ、内突,静荷重,前・後方衝撃に対し簡単にクリアする環状芯体部82のインサートを使用でき、有益になっている。
そして、分割構成された表皮小片7c,7dの二つでステー部81に両サイドから挟み込むようにしながら、表皮主要部Gの下面開口周縁gに各表皮小片7c(或いは7d)の対応周縁を両者の意匠面同士を対向させて縫い合わせるので、両ステー部間距離W2 に対し芯体部82の幅W1 が大きなインサート8にでも簡単に対応処理できる。例えば、本出願人の先の出願(特願平9−93218号公報)では、芯体部82を覆った表皮主要部Gにスリット74を利用して完成した表皮下面部7を嵌め入れなければならず、両ステー部間距離W2 に対し芯体部82の幅W1 が大きなインサート8の採用は不可能であった。本発明に係る穴開きへッドレスト用表皮では、芯体部幅W2 よりその間隔W1 がせばまった両ステー部81に、両サイドから表皮小片7c,7dで挟み込んでいくので、スリット74を利用して嵌め入れる必要がなく、斯る制限が取除かれる。インサート8の選択の自由度が高まり、車種に適合したあらゆる穴開きへッドレストを製造できるようになり、機能性,デザイン性,安定取着性等から一段と優れたものとなる。勿論、表皮一体成形が可能であるので、発泡成形後に表皮を発泡成形体に被せるいわゆる後被せ方式による作業がなくなり、且つ、表皮と発泡成形体が一体化することで、表皮に皺がよらず、省力化を達成し、更に、高品質の製品を生み出すことになる。
【0023】
尚、本発明においては、前記実施形態に示すものに限られず、目的,用途に応じて本発明の範囲で種々変更できる。表皮片1〜5,馬蹄形表皮片6,表皮小片7a〜7c,インサート8等の形状,大きさ,材質等は目的に応じ適宜選択できる。実施形態では、表皮片同士の結合や、表皮主要部Gと表皮下面部7との結合を縫合に依ったが、接着剤結合とか高周波や超音波などの加熱結合に依ってもよい。表皮片1〜6や表皮小片7等は用途に応じて、その個数を増減させることができる。実施形態では、表皮小片7a,7bを表皮主要部Gに取付ける前に縫い合わせて表皮小片7dとしたが、両表皮小片7a,7bを個別に表皮主要部Gへ縫い合わせていってもよい。また、表皮片1〜5,馬蹄形表皮片6,表皮小片7a〜7cはファブリック表皮に限ることなく、スラッシュ成形表皮,ブロー成形表皮に代えることもできる。勿論、部分交換でも構わない。
【0024】
【発明の効果】
以上のごとく、本発明の穴開きヘッドレスト用表皮の製造方法は、環状芯体部をもつインサートを組み入れて仕上げることが可能で、しかも、両ステー部間距離に対し芯体部の幅が大きなあらゆる形状のインサートに対応でき、且つ、汎用マシンによっても縫い代が外に出ず、縫い代等の結合部分が全て表皮裏面側に配されるので、ヘッドレスト用表皮として、選択性,品質面,作業コスト面等から極めて優れ有益となる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a perforated headrest skin that covers a foam molded body of a headrest by integral skin molding.
[0002]
[Prior art]
One of the headrests attached to the upper part of the seat back of an automobile or the like is a perforated headrest. Such a headrest is usually a foam-molded product with a skin provided with a hole that fits the back of the head in the middle, and has a structure in which the skin covers the peripheral surface of the foam-molded product.
The manufacture of this type of perforated headrest skin has been conventionally made by a description technique such as Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-69683 (Prior Art 1) and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-70837 (Prior Art 2).
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, according to the prior art 1, when the epicutaneous surface portion, which is the last stitched portion, is sewn, the terminal joint portion (sewing allowance) appears on the design surface side in a normal sewing method, and the appearance is poor. A special sewing machine had to be used to conceal the terminal joint inside the bag-like skin.
Moreover, according to the prior art 2, since an insert is inserted later into the skin, the insert shape is limited, and an insert having an annular core portion cannot be inserted. The insert had a large annular core part with respect to the distance between both stay parts.
[0004]
The present invention solves the above problems, and can be finished with an insert having an annular core part, and can also handle an insert having a large core part width relative to the distance between both stay parts, It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a perforated headrest skin that does not allow a seam allowance to be exposed even by a normal sewing method without using a special machine.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  In order to achieve the above object, the gist of the invention described in claim 1 is to provide a method for manufacturing a perforated headrest skin covering a core body portion related to an insert having a stay portion and an annular core body portion. While preparing a plurality of epidermis pieces divided through both stay holes for the subcutaneous surface portion to be the lower surface, only the subepidermal surface portion is insufficient while incorporating the core body portionThe main part of the peeled skinAnd turning up the peripheral edge of the lower surface opening of the main part of the epidermis that covers the core part, and making the epidermis back face outward,Apply the epidermis piece from below to the main part of the epidermis with the lower surface opening up,While the two skin pieces are sandwiched between the two sides of the stay portion, the main skin portion and the design surface of each skin piece are opposed to each other, and the corresponding peripheral edge of each skin piece is sewn to the lower surface opening periphery. The subepidermal surface part is further formed by stitching the epidermis pieces while leaving the slits connecting the stay holes, and then the epidermis main part and the epidermis back part of the epidermis surface part that are exposed to the outside are formed in the annular cylinder. The manufacturing method of the skin for a perforated headrest, characterized by being pushed into the surface and turned upside down.
  The manufacturing method for the perforated headrest skin according to the invention of claim 2 is the method of claim 1, wherein the design surface of the horseshoe-shaped skin piece and the design surface of the stitched skin piece are overlapped with each other, and the inner peripheral edge thereof A skin with a seam formed on the part, and stitching one design surface of the skin piece connecting the both sides of the inner lower edge part of the skin body and one design surface of the inner lower edge part together, and sewing The core body part is incorporated with the epidermis turned over, and then, the outer peripheral edge part of the horseshoe-shaped skin piece is overlapped so that the edges of the stitched skin pieces face each other, and the overlapping peripheral part And then turn it upside down into a horseshoe-shaped cylindrical epidermis in which the insert is incorporated, and then connect the other end of the epidermis piece to the other side of the inner lower edge of the epidermis and the other inner lower part With the edge And forming a combined the skin main part.
[0006]
  As in the present invention, when the core part is formed while the core part is incorporated and only the epidermal surface part is insufficient, even the annular core part can be incorporated into the skin without difficulty. And the skin main part can be sewn up easily, without taking out a seam allowance to the design surface side.In particular, applying the skin piece from below to the main skin part with the bottom opening up, and sandwiching the skin part from both sides with the two skin pieces, the design surface of the skin main part and each skin piece When facing each other and sewing the corresponding peripheral edge of each skin piece to the peripheral edge of the opening on the lower surface, the stitching between the opposing portions is maintained in a planar state at the time of joining, so the sewing operation is easy, and It can be easily and quickly made up by the sewing machine used. The seam allowance relating to the joint portion does not appear on the design surface of the skin that has been turned over, so that the appearance is good and the quality is excellent.
  In addition, a plurality of epidermis divided and formed through both stay holes for the subepidermal surface part that becomes the lower surface of the headrestsmallOnce the piece is prepared, the lower surface opening edge and the corresponding edge of the individual skin pieces are stitched together so that the design surfaces of the two pieces face each other, leaving a slit connecting between the stay holes, and the surface of the epidermis surface to the main part of the skin Attachment becomes possible and an annular cylinder is formed.Turning up the peripheral edge of the lower surface opening of the main part of the epidermis covering the core part with the back side of the skin facing outward, and then applying the small piece of skin from below to the main part of the epidermis with the lower surface opening up Since the lower surface opening periphery of the main skin part is turned up and the back surface of the epidermis is facing outward, the epidermis back surface of the main epidermis and the epidermis piece (subcutaneous surface part) is easily directed outward. Can be stitched together.Even inserts with a large core width relative to the distance between both stays can be accommodated. Thereafter, when the outer surface of the outer surface of the annular cylinder is pushed into the annular cylinder and turned upside down, a desired perforated headrest outer skin with no seam allowance is completed on the design surface without any difficult work.
  As in the second aspect of the invention, the design surface of the horseshoe-shaped skin piece and the design surface of the stitched skin piece are overlapped with each other so as to face each other, and a seam is formed on the inner peripheral edge portion thereof. One end edge of the skin piece connecting both sides of the inner lower edge part and one design surface of the inner lower edge part are overlapped and stitched, and further, the outer skin part of the horseshoe-shaped skin piece is stitched to the outer peripheral edge part of the horseshoe-shaped skin piece. When the edges are overlapped so that the design surfaces face each other, and the overlapping peripheral parts are stitched together, the stitches are aligned so that the back of each skin piece (or horseshoe-shaped skin piece, skin piece) is directed outward. Since the periphery is sewn, it is possible to sew using a general-purpose machine without using a special machine. One core of the skin piece connecting both sides of the inner lower edge part of the epidermis and one design surface of the inner lower edge part are overlapped and stitched, and the core part is left in an inverted state. Next, on the outer peripheral edge of the horseshoe-shaped skin piece, the edges of the stitched skin pieces are overlapped so that the design surfaces face each other, and the overlapping peripheral part is stitched to provide an annular core part. Even in the insert, since the annular cylindrical skin is made while incorporating the core, the core can be neatly accommodated in the completed headrest skin.
[0007]

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of an epidermis piece that forms the lower cylindrical part of the headrest epidermis from the epidermis of FIG. 5 to the main part of the epidermis, and FIG. 9 is the epidermis of FIG. 8 on the epidermis of FIG. The perspective view which formed the horseshoe-shaped cylindrical epidermis body by incorporating an insert after attaching a piece FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a state in which the skin piece that forms the lower tubular portion of the headrest skin is stitched to the tubular skin body of FIG. 9, and FIG. 11 is the finished skin main portion after the stitching of FIG. FIG. 12 is a perspective view of a headrest skin that is an annular cylindrical body by stitching together a lower surface opening peripheral edge of the main skin part and a corresponding peripheral edge of the epidermal surface part. It is.
In FIG. 1 to FIG. 12, the hatch pattern E represented on the skin pieces 1 to 5, the horseshoe-shaped skin pieces 6, and the skin pieces 7 a to 7 c indicates the design surface side of the fabric skin pieces.
[0008]
As shown in FIG. 1, the headrest skin A, which is the final product, has an insert 8 incorporated therein and is sewn in an annular shape (doughnut shape). A stay portion 81 of the insert 8 protrudes from a stay hole 73 provided in the epidermis surface portion, and is fixedly supported on the top portion of a seat back (not shown). Reference numeral 75 is an inlet for foaming raw material. After the insert 8 is incorporated to complete the headrest skin A, the injection port 75 is used when the foaming material is injected into the skin. After the foaming raw material is injected into the injection port 75, the headrest is formed into an integral skin.
The headrest skin A that covers the foamed molded product and has a three-dimensional shape is composed of a fabric skin and is manufactured as follows.
[0009]
First, prior to production, skin pieces 1 to 5, horseshoe-shaped skin pieces 6, and skin pieces 7a to 7c formed by flattening the headrest skin are prepared. A certain necessary amount of seam allowance f is preliminarily supplemented at the peripheral edges of the respective skin pieces 1 to 5, horseshoe-shaped skin pieces 6, and skin pieces 7a to 7c. The epidermis main part G is made of the skin pieces 1 to 5 and the horseshoe-shaped skin piece 6, and the epidermis surface part 7 is made of the skin pieces 7a to 7c.
Here, as the material of the skin pieces 1 to 5, the horseshoe-shaped skin pieces 6 and the skin pieces 7a to 7c, a fabric skin or the like is generally used. Specifically, For example, a urethane foam sheet and a polyurethane film are integrally laminated on the fabric skin. A cut-pile woven fabric using synthetic fibers such as acrylic and polyamide as pile yarn and cotton, rayon or the like as ground warp may be used. The cut pile fabric is coated with resin for the purpose of preventing the pile fabric from coming off.
[0010]
Further, an insert 8 to be incorporated in the process of sewing the headrest epidermis is prepared (FIG. 2). The insert 8 has a stay portion 81 and a distance W between the stay portions.2 More width W1 Is provided with a large annular core part 82. Specifically, the pipe is processed to make a frame 8a in which the legs are folded in a Ω-shape as shown in FIG. Then, the bar 8b is horizontally mounted on both leg bases, and both ends of the bar 8b and the frame 8a are fixed by welding. The two leg portions protruding from the bar 8b become the stay portion 81, and the other portions are the distance W between the stay portions.1 An annular core part 82 is formed to extend to both sides.
[0011]
In manufacturing the headrest skin, first, among the skin pieces 1 to 5 cut into a predetermined shape, three skin pieces 1 to 3 that form the back surface portion from the inside of the perforated portion V are taken out (see FIG. 3). As illustrated, each of the skin pieces 1 to 3 has a shape in which the portion corresponding to the perforated portion V is narrow and the portion corresponding to the back portion is wide.
Then, the side edges of the adjacent skin pieces 2 are overlapped with one side edge of the skin piece 1 so that the design surfaces face each other, and the side edge portions are stitched (FIG. 4). Reference S1 Indicates the seam. Similarly, the side edge of the adjacent skin piece 3 is overlapped with the other side edge of the skin piece 1, and the side edge portion is joined by the sewing thread t. Reference S2 Is a stitch by the sewing thread t.
There are many types of formation of seams, and there is no particular limitation, but all the sewing forms between the skin pieces according to the present embodiment adopt the main stitch specification.
[0012]
Thereafter, the design surfaces I of the above-described skin pieces 1 to 3 and the design surface I of the separately prepared horseshoe-shaped skin piece 6 are overlapped with each other so as to face each other. Then, the inner peripheral edge is sewn to the stitch SThree Form. In this way, the epidermis H as shown in FIG. 5 is formed.
The horseshoe-shaped skin piece 6 is literally substantially horseshoe-shaped, and the skin piece 4 connecting the notched portions 61 and 61 at the lower end of the side edge is stitched to form an annular shape, thereby constituting the front side portion of the headrest.
[0013]
On the other hand, skin pieces 4 and 5 that connect both sides of the inner lower edge portion d of the skin body H are prepared (FIG. 8). The epidermis piece 4 is sewn to the horseshoe-shaped epidermis piece 6 to form the front portion of the headrest, and the epidermis piece 5 is sewn to the epidermis pieces 2, 3 and 4 to form the back portion from the perforated inner peripheral portion.
The design surfaces on the corresponding side edges of the skin pieces 4 and 5 are overlapped with each other, and the overlapped peripheral portions are stitched. Stitch S by the stitchingFive Is formed.
[0014]
Subsequently, the inner lower edge portion d of the epidermis H and the design surfaces of the corresponding side edges of the epidermis pieces 4 and 5 are overlapped, and the one end edge of the epidermis pieces 4 and 5 and the epidermis H are stitched together. Reference S6 Indicates a stitch by such stitching.
Then, the core body portion 82 of the insert 8 is incorporated with the epidermis body H turned upside down as shown in FIG. 5, and this is wrapped around each of the epidermis pieces 1 to 3, and the edge b thereof is the outer peripheral edge of the horseshoe-shaped epidermis piece 6 The portion 62 is overlaid so that the design surfaces face each other. By stitching the overlapping peripheral portions, the stitches SFour Make. Thereafter, it is turned upside down to obtain a horseshoe-shaped cylindrical epidermis D into which the insert 8 as shown in FIG. 9 is incorporated.
Reference symbol O denotes a hollow portion, which corresponds to the upper half portion of the annular hollow portion in which the insert 8 is embedded and the foam-molded body integrated with the skin is enclosed.
[0015]
Next, the other edge of the skin pieces 4 and 5 and the other inner lower edge portion d of the skin body H are stitched together (FIG. 10). Reference S7 Indicates the seam. Here too, the inner lower edge portion d and the design surfaces of the corresponding side edges of the skin pieces 4 and 5 are overlapped with each other and are sewn together with the skin back surface R of the portion facing outward.
In this way, the epidermis main part G in which only the epidermis surface part 7 as shown in FIG. 11 is insufficient is formed. The core portion 82 of the insert 8 is covered by the skin main portion G, but the lower surface opening peripheral edge g is turned up and the skin back surface R is directed outward.
[0016]
By the way, while completing the above-mentioned epidermis main part G, the three epidermis pieces 7a-7c used as the epidermis surface part 7 are prepared (FIG. 6).
In both skin pieces 7a and 7b, central portions 71 and 72 of opposing edges protrude in a rectangular shape. In addition, half holes 731 for stay holes 73 through which both stay portions are inserted are provided at the left and right positions on the opposing edges of the skin pieces 7b and 7c.
[0017]
A pretreatment is performed on the epidermis surface portion 7. First, the central portions 71 and 72 are overlapped so that the design surfaces of the skin pieces 7a and 7b face each other. Both ends of the opposite edge are sewn together to form a small skin piece 7d so that the seam allowance f appears on the back side of the skin (FIG. 7). The upper edges of the central portions 71 and 72 are left unconnected, and L-shaped stitches α are formed on both side edges. In the present embodiment, the upper edges of the central portions 71 and 72 are also formed. The stitches β are formed by partially sewing. The remaining upper edge opening serves as a foaming material inlet 75.
The skin pieces 7b and 7c are not yet sewn at this stage. In FIG. 7, symbol f is a seam allowance for stitching the skin pieces 7b and 7c, and symbols ξ and η, when the headrest skin A is completed, enter into the slit 74 and come into contact with each other to inject foam raw material. Shows a tongue that sometimes prevents leakage.
[0018]
Here, the epicutaneous surface portion 7 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is used in this embodiment, but instead, the epicutaneous surface portion 7 as shown in FIGS. 13 and 15 can be prepared.
FIG. 13 does not sew together the skin pieces 7a and 7b of FIG. 6, but cuts one piece of skin piece 7e into the size of the skin pieces 7a and 7b. The injection hole 77 of the skin piece 7e is a circular hole that fits an injection nozzle (not shown) for foaming material. Further, a male clip (or fastener) k as shown in FIG. 14 is formed on the opposite edge of the slit 74 formed by the skin pieces 7c and 7e.1 And female clip (or fastener)2 And the slit 74 is closed by fitting the two. The portion of the seam allowance f for sewing the skin pieces 7c and 7e shown in FIG. 13 may also be a clip or a fastener. In this case, the clips, fasteners, etc. are regarded as sutures.
FIG. 15 shows a case where a tongue piece 78 made of the same material is separately and independently prepared in addition to the small skin pieces 7 a to 7 c of the present embodiment, and the tongue piece 78 is located on the side far from the injection port 75. That is, it is sutured to the epidermis piece 7c. Reference S11Indicates the seam. The tongue piece 78 has a lateral width substantially equal to the length of the slit 74, and forms a projecting portion 782 projecting on both sides via a constricted portion 781 at the tip portion. The constricted portion 781 is formed narrower than the injection port 75 narrowed by the seam β, and the overhanging portion 782 is formed wider than the injection port 75. Then, when the overhanging portion 782 is folded and the tongue piece 78 is inserted into the injection port 75, the overhanging portion 782 passes through the slit 74 and simultaneously expands in the cavity O (FIG. 16).
The subepidermal surface portion 7 as shown in FIGS. 13 and 15 is more preferable because the mouth of the slit 74 can be reliably closed during foam molding, as will be described later.
[0019]
When the epidermis pieces 7c, 7d of the epidermis surface portion 7 and the epidermis main part G are aligned, these are then sewn together. As shown in FIG. 11, the skin pieces 7c and 7d are applied from the bottom to the skin main part G with the lower surface opening on the top. The skin pieces 7c and 7d and the design surface of the skin main part G are opposed to each other, and the skin pieces 7c and 7d are applied to the stay portion 81 while being sandwiched from both sides. The half holes 731 of the skin small pieces 7 c and 7 d surround the stay portion 81. And the lower surface opening periphery g of the skin main part G and the corresponding periphery of each skin piece 7c, 7d are made to correspond, and both are stitched together. In addition, the skin pieces 7c and 7d are stitched together, leaving the slit 74 connecting the stay holes. Thus, the epidermis surface portion 7 and the annular cylinder A are formed. In FIG. 12, the epidermis surface portion 7 is positioned below the lower surface opening peripheral edge g with the stay portion 81 inserted through the slit 74. The epicutaneous surface portion 7 is open at the slit 74 between the stay portions.
Here, since the outer skin pieces 7c and 7d are applied while being sandwiched by the stay portion 81 from both sides, the distance W between the stay portions.2 Width W of the core body part 821 Even if the insert 8 is larger, the epidermis surface portion 7 can be attached to the epidermis main portion G without being obstructed by the core portion 82. In addition, the lower surface opening peripheral edge g of the epidermis main portion G is turned up and the epidermis back surface R is directed outward, so that the epidermis main portion G and the epidermis small pieces 7c, 7d (subcutaneous surface portion 7) of the epidermis back surface R It can be sewn in such a way that it can be easily turned outward. Reference S in FIG.9 Indicates this seam. By such stitching, an annular cylinder, that is, a headrest skin A is completed.
[0020]
As described above, the tubular body, that is, the headrest epidermis A is completed by stitching the epidermal surface portion 7 to the epidermis main portion G. However, at this stage, the headrest skin A is still partially turned over.
Therefore, finally, a force as indicated by an outlined arrow in FIG. 12 is applied, and the epidermis main portion G and the epidermis back surface R of the epidermis surface portion 7 are pushed into the annular cylinder to turn it upside down. When such an operation is performed, a desired headrest skin A as shown in FIG.
The headrest as a product is completed by injecting foaming raw material from the injection port 75 and integrally molding the skin.
[0021]
By the way, when using the epidermal surface portion 7 as shown in FIG.1 , K2 If the slit 74 is closed, the foaming raw material at the time of molding is prevented from leaking out of the slit, which is preferable.
Further, when the tongue piece 78 is stitched to the skin piece 7c, the tongue piece is bent so that the overhanging portion 782 passes through the slit 74 and expands in the cavity portion O, and then the foaming raw material is injected and the skin integral molding is performed. If it does, since the slit 74 is covered with the tongue piece 78, the leakage of the foaming raw material from a slit can be prevented, and it becomes suitable. In FIG. 16, the tongue piece 78 is drawn in a state of being lifted with respect to the skin piece 7b in order to make the positional relationship easy to understand. However, in practice, the constricted portion 781 is sandwiched between the injection ports 75 narrowed by the seams β, and the tongue piece 78 is foam-molded in a state of being in close contact with the skin piece 7b, and is in a good-looking state.
[0022]
According to the method for manufacturing the headrest skin configured as described above, the headrest skin A can be finished by incorporating the insert 8 without providing any seam allowance f on the design surface side. All the stitches are sewn together so that the skin back R of each skin piece (or horseshoe-shaped skin piece, skin piece) that is sewn is directed outwards, so that the periphery is sewn, so a general-purpose machine without using a special machine It becomes possible by the sewing method using. In other words, the stitching between the opposing portions is maintained in a planar state at the time of joining, so that the stitching operation is easy, and can be easily and quickly made up by sewing with a general-purpose machine. Thus, the inconvenience of the seam allowance seen in Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-69683 is solved. The seam allowance f relating to the joint portion does not appear on the design surface I of the skin that has been turned over, so that the appearance is good and the quality is excellent.
Further, even in the insert 8 having the annular core part 82, the annular cylindrical skin is made while incorporating the core part 82, so that the core part 82 is neatly accommodated in the completed headrest skin. be able to. Since the annular core part 82 can be adopted, the headrest is stable and strong against impacts as a whole. The restriction of the annular core 82 that can be easily cleared against internal collisions, static loads, and front / rear impacts is eliminated, while the restrictions found in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-70837, etc., where only a U-shaped insert can be used. Can be used and is beneficial.
Then, while the two divided skin pieces 7c and 7d are sandwiched by the stay portion 81 from both sides, the corresponding peripheral edge of each skin piece 7c (or 7d) is placed on the lower surface opening peripheral edge g of the main skin part G. The distance between the stays is W2 Width W of the core body part 821 Can easily handle even large inserts 8. For example, in the previous application of the present applicant (Japanese Patent Application No. 9-93218), the epicutaneous surface portion 7 completed using the slit 74 must be fitted into the epidermis main portion G covering the core portion 82. The distance W between both stays2 Width W of the core body part 821 However, it was impossible to use a large insert 8. In the perforated headrest skin according to the present invention, the core width W2 More distance W1 Since both the side portions 81 are sandwiched by the small skin pieces 7c and 7d from both sides, there is no need to use the slits 74 and the restriction is removed. The degree of freedom of selection of the insert 8 is increased, and any holed headrest suitable for the vehicle type can be manufactured, which is further improved in terms of functionality, design, stable attachment, and the like. Of course, since the skin can be integrally molded, there is no work by the so-called post-covering method in which the skin is covered with the foam molded body after foam molding, and the skin and foam molded body are integrated so that the skin does not wrinkle. Achieve labor savings and produce high quality products.
[0023]
In addition, in this invention, it is not restricted to what is shown to the said embodiment, According to the objective and a use, it can change variously in the range of this invention. The shape, size, material, and the like of the skin pieces 1 to 5, the horseshoe-shaped skin piece 6, the skin pieces 7a to 7c, the insert 8 and the like can be appropriately selected according to the purpose. In the embodiment, the coupling between the skin pieces and the coupling between the epidermis main part G and the epidermis surface part 7 depend on the sewing, but it may depend on adhesive bonding or heating coupling such as high frequency and ultrasonic waves. The number of the skin pieces 1 to 6, the skin piece 7 and the like can be increased or decreased depending on the application. In the embodiment, the skin pieces 7a, 7b are sewn before attaching to the skin main part G to form the skin pieces 7d. However, both skin pieces 7a, 7b may be sewn to the skin main part G individually. Further, the skin pieces 1 to 5, the horseshoe-shaped skin pieces 6, and the skin pieces 7a to 7c are not limited to the fabric skin, but may be replaced with a slush molded skin or a blow molded skin. Of course, partial replacement is also possible.
[0024]
