Abstract

The object of the present invention is to provide a seat cushion for vehicles which is excellent in recyclability, fitting feeling and cushioning properties when an occupant is seated.
A plurality of independent rod-like or plate-like supporting bodies are constructed by a synthetic resin foam having a bending deflection amount equal to or larger than 20 mm and a load between 2 and 100 N at the 20 mm bending deflection time, a seat cushion pad is structured such as to be mounted, fitted or fixedly provided in the edge-like member or be integrally formed with the edge-like member so as to be supported at one point or a plurality of points in a direction of bridging between the edge-like members, a plurality of supporting bodies 3 are structured such as to be lined up at predetermined intervals.

First claim

1 . A seat cushion comprising a seat cushion pad,
wherein said seat cushion pad comprises: edge-like members which are arranged in a facing manner at a predetermined distance and are formed around an upper edge portion of said seat cushion pad; and a plurality of independent rod-like or plate-like supporting bodies which are constructed by a synthetic resin foam having a bending deflection amount equal to or larger than 20 mm and a load between 2 and 100 N at the 20 mm bending deflection time, both the bending deflection amount and the load being measured in accordance with a method described in JIS K7221-2: 2006, wherein said seat cushion pad is structured such as to be mounted, fitted or fixedly provided in said edge-like member or be integrally formed with said edge-like member so as to be supported at one point or a plurality of points in a direction of bridging between said edge-like members, and said plurality of supporting bodies are structured such as to be lined up at predetermined intervals, and wherein a space portion is provided so that said supporting bodies are allowed to be deformed by bending in a downward direction of said supporting bodies.

2 . The seat cushion according to claim 1 , wherein an elastic body is provided so as to be in contact with a bottom surface of said supporting body, said supporting body and a seat frame are separated at the no-load time, and said supporting body starts moving downward by deflection of the elastic body when the load is applied by seating of an occupant.

3 . The seat cushion according to claim 1 , wherein an elastic body is provided below said supporting body, an end portion of said supporting body and a seat frame are in a connection state at the no-load time, and said supporting body starts bending deformation from the seat frame as a supporting point just after the loading.

4 . The seat cushion according to claim 1 , wherein said supporting body in a plane view is formed into a linear shape, a curved shape or a bent shape which is combination of straight line portions which are obtained by bending straight lines at optional angles.

5 . The seat cushion according to claim 2 , wherein said supporting body in a plane view is formed into a linear shape, a curved shape or a bent shape which is combination of straight line portions which are obtained by bending straight lines at optional angles.

6 . The seat cushion according to claim 3 , wherein said supporting body in a plane view is formed into a linear shape, a curved shape or a bent shape which is combination of straight line portions which are obtained by bending straight lines at optional angles.
