  • Patent number: 7422290
    Abstract: A body support assembly in which irregular portions such as bunchy portions and irregular portions are prevented and further curing and holding performance are improved. The body support assembly (1) comprises a flexible cushion body (2) covered with a short-shaped cover body (3) impregnated with a curing resin and the cushion body (2) is made to abut against a user's body to be deformed in a shape matching the user's body, and then the cover body (3) is cured to be used. At least an upper edge portion of the cover body (3) is formed in a thinned edge portion (7) decreasing in thickness gradually from the cushion body (2). The thinned edge portion (7) includes a flange-shaped junction (6) formed by making a side for covering one surface of the cushion body (2) and a side for covering the other surface thereof abut against each other in an upper edge portion of the cover body (3) to be join together.

  • Publication number: 20050121957
    Abstract: The present invention provides a bag for a body support assembly which can stabilize the curing time by avoiding influence of environmental temperature on the curing time and improve a fitting feeling of the body support assembly. The present invention also provides the bag for the body support assembly which is suitable for use in a seat, a chair or the like. The bag (1) of the present invention is one for accommodating a body support assembly, the body support assembly including a cushioning body being deformable by press, the bag being used by allowing the cushioning body to contact a user's body so as to deform in a shape matching the user's body and maintain the deformed shape. The bag (1) is a pouched body comprising: a front face covering member (2) provided on one side for contacting the user's body; and a rear face covering member (3) provided on an opposite side; and a heat insulation layer (5) and/or cushioning layer (6) is/are provided at least on the front face covering member (2).

  • Publication number: 20050040685
    Abstract: A body support assembly (1) capable of providing a fitting feeling to a user according to the user's body shape by holding the shape thereof matching the user's body shape. The body support assembly (1) comprises a supporting member (4) including a plurality of granulated materials (2) coated with a moisture-curable resin, and a stretchable cloth (3) covering the supporting member (4). The body support assembly (1) is used such that the cloth (3) is allowed to come in contact with the portion of the user's body so as to allow the granulated materials (2) to move relative to one another, and thus the supporting member (4) is deformed in a shape matching the portion of the user's body. Then, the moisture-curable resin is cured. The relative movements of the granulated materials (2) in the supporting member (4) are controlled by a frame (5) embracing an outer peripheral edge of the supporting member (4).

  • Patent number: 6666509
    Abstract: A body support tool, such as a seat support, is provided, that may hold a shape in conformity with a sitting shape of a user. A cushion body having flexibility is covered with a sheet-like coating member impregnated with cured resin, and brought into contact with a portion of a human body such as the hips, waist, back or neck. When the user sits on the seat, for example, the body support tool cures in conformity with that body portion.

  • Patent number: 4838113
    Abstract: A throttle mechanism for a vehicle employing a handle grip for steering where the throttle lever is controlled by manual actuation. A shield plate may be provided on the throttle lever to physically block the air flow against the vehicle from flowing directly over the operator's thumb actuating the throttle. Heating elements may be provided to heat a cover on the throttle lever which in turn heats the driver's hand. Heat controlling circuits to effectively reduce the heating input at high temperatures, multiple circuits for both rapid and slow heating and circuitry associated with the vehicle lighting switches may be employed.

  • Patent number: 4637238
    Abstract: A folding key for vehicles, in which a key body is pivotally mounted in a dished cap so as to be capable of pivoting with respect to the cap. The key body has a pivot portion which is directly supported by a bearing bore formed in the cap, or which is clamped and supported between a first bearing portion provided in a bottom surface of a recess in the cap and a second bearing portion provided in a support member fitted in the recess in the cap. In the latter case, a resilient tongue is resiliently engaged with an inward end of the key body to retain the same. The cap has formed therein a cut-out with which the key body is engaged upon ultimate levelling of the key body. Preferably, the cut-out is formed in a portion of a peripheral edge of the cap, which is located at a rear of the peripheral edge with reference to an advance direction of the vehicle.
