  • Patent number: 9914380
    Abstract: A foam part (5, 105, 205, 305), in particular for a vehicle seat, includes a first foam layer (11, 111, 211, 311) facing a user and a second foam layer (21, 221) facing away from the user. The first foam layer has a hardness and/or density that is different from the hardness or density of the second foam layer (21, 221). The first foam layer includes several comfort tubes (50, 150, 250, 350) facing the user. A method for producing such a foam part (5, 105, 205, 305) includes a first step in which the first foam layer, having the comfort tubes (50, 150, 250, 350), is foamed and a second step in which the second foam layer (21, 221) is foamed. A tool (500) for producing a foam part (5, 105, 205, 305) includes a bottom part (510), a frame (520), and a top part (530).

  • Publication number: 20120068519
    Abstract: A vehicle seat cushion comprises at least two foam materials, having different hardnesses, and a fleece arranged between the foam materials. The cushion may be made by introducing a first material into a tool, covering the first material with the fleece, and then introducing a second material into the tool. Alternatively, both materials, separated by the fleece, may be introduced into the tool. The foam materials may have the same or different thicknesses, and these thicknesses may vary over the length and/or width of the cushion.
