  • Patent number: 7056457
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a cushion body of a seat cushion that can be easily reinforced in low cost, to provide a method for manufacturing such a cushion body and to provide an apparatus for manufacturing such a cushion body. A cushion body 10 of a seat cushion has a main part and a side part generally corresponding to a main part and a side part of the seat cushion. The cushion body 10 comprises a foamed body 11 formed in a shape generally corresponding to an outline of the cushion body 10, an air-permeable material 12 fixed to the cushion body 10 and an impregnation layer 13 that serves to reinforce a portion of the cushion body 10 where the air-permeable material 12 is fixed to the foamed body 11. The foamed body his made of cold urethane foam. The thickness of the impregnation layer 13 has a thickness that can provide a predetermined strength to reinforce a portion of the cushion body 10 where the air-permeable material 12 is fixed to the foamed body 11.

  • Patent number: 6946043
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a padded body composed of a skin layer formed in a bag shape and filler made of a granular or fragmental material padded into the skin layer comprising the steps of: mixing the filler and a water reactive binder; padding a mixture of the filler and the binder into the skin layer to form a padded body; and passing steam through the padded body. The binder reacts to the steam so that the filler adheres each other and adheres to an inner surface of the skin layer.

  • Patent number: 6899147
    Abstract: A filler material packing system for packing a granular or fragmental filler material in a bag-shaped hollow surface material includes a suction-type packing container, and means for delivering the filler material. The packing container has an inner space. At least a part of the surface material is air-permeable, and the surface material is positioned in the inner space. The packing container has a suction port and an entry port that are connected to the inner space. The filler material is delivered to the inside of the surface material positioned in the inner space of the packing container by the filler material delivering means. The filler material delivering means includes a cylindrical stirring container having a lid, a sidewall and a bottom wall. The stirring container has a stirring vane positioned on the bottom wall. Air vent holes and an outlet port are provided in an upper part of the sidewall.

  • Patent number: 6226819
    Abstract: A seat having various hardnesses provided with a surface material. The seat is air-permeable, has a tactile feeling of the seat surface and has a hardness capable of supporting the weight of a person who sits thereon. The seat (1) is covered with an air-permeable surface material (2) and has a foamed body having a shape generally corresponding to an external shape of the seat. The foamed body includes a first foamed body (10) as a base of the foamed body and a second foamed body (6) connected integrally with the first foamed body. The first foamed body (10) has ascending parts (12, 13) which are formed on parts of a surface thereof. In the method for manufacturing the seat, the mixture (15) is introduced and layered on the first foamed body (10) and the surface material (2) is placed thereon.
