Abstract

A sheet-shaped cushioning rubber including a planar base portion and a three-dimensional portion formed to rise from the base portion toward one side in a sheet thickness direction, the planar base portion and the three-dimensional portion being alternately provided in one direction of a sheet plane, wherein the three-dimensional portion includes a hollow portion that opens toward the other side in the sheet thickness direction. The three-dimensional portion is integrally provided with a first rising surface that is continuous from the base portion, a top surface, a second rising surface on a side opposite to the first rising surface, and a pair of rising surfaces on both sides in a sheet width direction, and the hollow portion opens only toward the other side in the sheet thickness direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A sheet-shaped cushioning rubber comprising:
a planar base portion and a three-dimensional portion formed to rise from the base portion toward one side in a sheet thickness direction, the planar base portion and the three-dimensional portion being alternately provided in one direction of a sheet plane, wherein: the three-dimensional portion includes a hollow portion that opens toward another side in the sheet thickness direction, the three-dimensional portion is integrally provided with a first rising surface that is continuous from the base portion, a top surface, and a second rising surface on a side opposite to the first rising surface, and the hollow portion also opens toward both sides in a sheet width direction.

2 . The cushioning rubber according to claim 1 ,
wherein a reinforcing rib that is connected to the three-dimensional portion and inhibits falling over of the three-dimensional portion is integrally provided on a plane of the base portion.

3 . The cushioning rubber according to claim 1 ,
wherein a protrusion used as a mounting margin for the cushioning rubber is integrally provided to protrude in the width direction from an end portion of the cushioning rubber in the width direction.

4 . A cushioning rubber comprising:
a flat plate portion; and a plurality of protruding portions that protrude from the flat plate portion, wherein a periphery of each of the plurality of protruding portions is surrounded by a portion of the flat plate portion, and an inside of each of the plurality of protruding portions is configured to be a cavity, and an exhaust passage is provided to allow air inside the cavity of each of the plurality of protruding portions to be exhausted to an outside, wherein the exhaust passage is configured of a plurality of grooves which are formed on a surface of the flat plate portion on a side opposite to a side on which the plurality of protruding portions protrude, so as to extend from an inside of the cavity to a side surface of the flat plate portion.

5 . A pedestal comprising:
a base plate; and at least one cushioning rubber disposed in a state of being positioned on the base plate,
the cushioning rubber including a flat plate portion and a plurality of protruding portions which protrude from the flat plate portion,
wherein a periphery of each of the plurality of protruding portions is surrounded by a portion of the flat plate portion, an inside of each of the plurality of protruding portions is configured to be a cavity, and at least one of the base plate and the cushioning rubber is provided with an exhaust passage which allows air inside the cavity of each of the plurality of protruding portions to be exhausted to an outside.

6 . The pedestal according to claim 5 , wherein the exhaust passage is configured of a plurality of grooves which are formed on a surface of the flat plate portion on a side opposite to a side on which the plurality of protruding portions protrude, so as to extend from an inside of the cavity to a side surface of the flat plate portion.

7 . The pedestal according to claim 6 , wherein the exhaust passage is configured of a groove formed in the base plate.
