  • Patent number: 10850435
    Abstract: A foam molded article mold includes a lower mold with a cavity space; an upper mold formed with an upper mold face portion facing a lower mold face portion of the cavity space when the upper mold has been brought together with the lower mold; a partitioning wall that projects out from the upper mold face portion, and that configures a first parting line between the partitioning wall and the lower mold face portion in a state in which the upper mold has been brought together with the lower mold; and a partition that projects out from the lower mold face portion, and that, in a state in which the upper mold has been brought together with the lower mold, partitions the cavity space together with the partitioning wall to form plural cavities, and that configures a second parting line between the partition and the partitioning wall.

  • Patent number: 9051949
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a clip for attaching an EA member, of which a base portion between a flange and a cylindrical portion is reliably filled with a resin foam body, and an EA member equipped with this clip. [Solution] A clip 30 for attaching an EA member to a member, includes a cylindrical portion 31 and flanges 32 provided at both ends of the cylindrical portion 31. In a base portion of at least one of the flanges 32, a penetrating portion 34 that penetrates through the flange 32 is formed. An EA member 20 is equipped with this clip 30.

  • Publication number: 20130043101
    Abstract: A main body portion (12) of an impact absorber (10) is a three-dimensional structure formed of stiff polyurethane foam. A ratio (W2/W1) of a width W2 of a slot (30) formed in an impact surface (12A) of the main body portion (12) to a width W1 of the impact surface (12A) of the main body portion (12) is in a range from ? to ½. In consequence, when a knee area M1 of an occupant M impacts against the impact surface (12A) of the main body portion (12) of the impact absorber (10), a concentration of loading on the impact surface (12A) in an initial impact period is suppressed because the slot (30) is formed in the impact surface (12A), which is most liable to bear the load in the initial impact period, and the load is dispersed. Thus, a large breakage or significant scattering of the main body portion (12) of the impact absorber (10) in the initial impact period may be suppressed, and amounts of impact absorption energy in a middle impact period and a later impact period may be assured.

  • Publication number: 20110233962
    Abstract: An energy absorbing member has a mounting portion with a reinforced proximal end, and is easy to produce. The energy absorbing member (20) includes a disc-like main body portion (21) comprised of foamed resin such as hard urethane foam, a mounting portion (22) protruding from the side surface of the main body portion (21), and a reinforcing piece (23) embedded in the mounting portion (22). The reinforcing piece (23) extends from the mounting portion (22) to the interior of the main body portion (21). A mounting hole 24 is formed in the mounting portion (22), for securing the energy absorbing member (20) to a core member or the like. The mounting hole (24) extends through the reinforcing piece (23) in the thickness direction of the mounting portion (22).

  • Patent number: 6758937
    Abstract: A shock absorbing material for automobiles, having extremely good shock absorbing properties, capable of absorbing shocks applied to a passenger in a car at the time of a crash, or the like, and reducing the head injury criteria, comprising a rigid polyurethane foam having a compression stress of 3 kg/cm2 or more, with concavities arranged on at least one planar surface. In order to mount the head protecting material to a ceiling material, a trim, a car body, or the like, easily and securely, the head protecting material is mounted to the ceiling material, or the like, with an adhesive sheet comprising a base material made of a foam material with an adhesive layer formed thereon.

  • Patent number: 6221930
    Abstract: A lightweight shock absorber has an ideal F-S waveform, and is formed of a foam resin material. The cross-sectional area of the absorber in the compression axis direction and the vertical direction changes at least partially in the compression axis direction, and consequently the relation between distortion and compressive stress in the compression axis direction (F-S waveform) is approximately linear.
