Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a cushion material for a cushion pad body in a seat of an automobile or the like, a urethane cushion material foamed by a mold is often used. The cushion pad in the conventional seat is formed entirely of a urethane foam pad which is the same cushion material. This applies not only to seat cushions but also to seat backs and armrests.

車に対する低燃費の要求から、ウレタンクッション材の
軽量化、さらには低コスト化の面から、低密度化(重量
低減)の要求がある。The cushioning material is an important material that determines the riding comfort of the seat. On the other hand, recently, there has been a demand for low density (weight reduction) from the viewpoint of reducing the weight of the urethane cushion material and further reducing the cost due to the demand for low fuel consumption of the automobile.

る。However, there are the following problems in reducing the density of urethane foam. Ride comfort performance deteriorates. The durability deteriorates, and if used for a long period of time, the sheet shape will be distorted due to settling and distortion, and the surface will have sagging and wrinkles.

とする。In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is to provide a cushion pad body made of urethane foam in a seat, in which a portion of a seat surface except for a lower part of the seat has a lower density than a lower part of the seat. It is characterized by being formed of a urethane foam pad having a low density and a high rebound resilience.

ック3の頂部にはヘッドレスト4が設けられている。In FIG. 1, a seat 1 includes a seat cushion 2 and a seat back 3, and a headrest 4 is provided on the top of the seat back 3.

るが、座面の尻下部Aを除く部位B、例えば座面の前部
およびサイド部が、尻下部Aの密度より低密度で、かつ
反発弾性率の高いウレタンフォームで形成される。The seat cushion pad of the seat cushion 2 of the seat 1 is formed of urethane foam, and a portion B of the seat except for a lower portion A of the seat surface, for example, a front portion and a side portion of the seat surface have a lower density of the lower portion A. It is formed of urethane foam having a lower density and a high rebound resilience.

レタンクッションパッド体の重量低減を図るためであ
る。The reason why the different-density structure is adopted is that the lower the density, the lower the riding comfort tends to be. By using a urethane material having a lower density than that of the lower rear part A, it is possible to reduce the weight of the urethane cushion pad body while ensuring ride comfort performance.
【0012】また、座面の尻下部Aを除く部位Bの低密

い。As the urethane material for the low-density portion of the portion B excluding the lower portion A of the seat surface, a material having a characteristic of a rebound resilience of 75% or more is preferable in order to ensure durability.

ことで、シート、特に自動車用シートの耐久性と軽量化
の両立が達成できることが判明したものである。The use of urethane foam having a high rebound resilience means reducing the hysteresis loss rate of the seat cushion pad material (FIG. 2 shows the difference in the hysteresis loss rate due to the difference in rebound resilience). As a result, sag and distortion of the urethane foam pad body can be reduced. As a result of various investigations, especially the rebound resilience was 75%
It has been found that by using a urethane foam pad body having the above characteristics, it is possible to achieve both durability and weight reduction of a seat, particularly an automobile seat.

This is the same aluminum foam mold, to make the conventional product, low density product, urethane foam cushion pad for automobile of the present invention, and simultaneously use these pad density, hardness, rebound elastic modulus of urethane foam, urethane foam material Wet heat compression set and durability of repeated compression showing the durability performance, durability of the sheet (press plate before and after the test), ride comfort (6 Hz)
(Time transmission rate).

振点をずらして、6Hz時の伝達率を小さくする必要性
があることに起因する。The reason why the transmission rate at 6 Hz is used for the evaluation of ride comfort is that the built-in resonance point of a person is said to be 4 to 8 Hz, and the transmission rate at 6 Hz can be said to be a representative value of the evaluation. This is because it is necessary to shift the resonance point of the seat cushion so as not to make the occupant uncomfortable, and to reduce the transmission rate at 6 Hz.

The test method of B405 and the evaluation of the riding comfort of the seat are JAS
Each was measured using the tester shown in FIG. 3 according to the test method of OB408. In particular, the durability test
The evaluation was performed by lowering the pressing plate (vertical displacement of the pressing plate before and after the test) after performing the vibration endurance of 350,000 times using a JSAE buttocks. FIG. 2 is a static load diagram showing a hysteresis loss difference between urethane foams (70, 80%) having different rebound resiliences.

ている。According to the results of this evaluation test, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the case of a low-density product in which a conventional product is reduced in weight, the repetitive compression set rate, which is a measure of durability, is 2.1%, The compression set is 16%.
Since they are 3% and 12%, they are extremely poor, and at the same time, the durability (the pressure plate before and after the durability test) and the riding comfort performance (transmittance at 6 Hz) are deteriorated due to the low density.
