Abstract

[Problem] To provide a cushion pad that improves the holding property and reduces the wobbling feeling. [Solution] A force S 25 during compression to 25% in a first portion and a first side portion, which are positioned on a seating surface side, is set to a value smaller than the value of S 25 in a second portion and a second side portion, which are positioned on a bottom surface side. The first portion and the first side portion are positioned on the seating surface side of a thickness center. This allows ensuring a close contact property with the buttocks. The second portion and the second side portion are positioned on the bottom surface side of the thickness center. This allows improving the holding property of the buttocks and reducing the wobbling feeling.

Claims (16)

1. A cushion pad comprising

a support portion having: a seating surface on which a seated person is seated; and a bottom surface on an opposite side to the seating surface,

the support portion comprising, in a vertical direction from the seating surface to the bottom surface, equally sectionalized layers including a seating portion layer, an upper center portion layer, a lower center portion layer, and a bottom surface portion layer, a hardness increasing in the vertical direction in the order corresponding to the seating portion layer, the upper center portion layer, the lower center portion layer, and the bottom surface portion layer, and

wherein a hardness increases in the horizontal direction of each of the layers from a center of each layer to outer sides of each layer, such that the seating portion layer has a relative hardness at outer sides that is less than the hardness of outer sides of the lower center portion layer and outer sides of the bottom surface portion layer.

2. The cushion pad according to claim 1 ,

wherein a ratio of the hardness of outer sides of the upper center portion layer to the hardness of a center of the upper center portion layer is set to a value smaller than a value of a ratio of the hardness of outer sides of the lower center portion layer to the hardness of a center of the lower center portion layer.

3. The cushion pad according to claim 2 ,

wherein the outer sides of the upper center portion layer and the outer sides of the lower center portion layer are portions compressed by the seat pressure of the buttocks of a seated person, and are positioned on an outer side in the right-left direction of the right and left ischial tuberosity portions of the seated person seated on the seating surface.

4. The cushion pad according to claim 1 ,

wherein a hardness of a portion positioned in a center in the horizontal direction of the bottom surface portion layer including the bottom surface is equal to or more than a hardness 1.1 times as large as a hardness of a portion positioned in a center in the horizontal direction of the seating portion layer including the seating surface.

5. The cushion pad according to claim 1 ,

wherein a hardness of the center of each layer increases from the seating surface side toward the bottom surface side.

6. The cushion pad according to claim 1 ,

wherein a hardness of outer sides of the upper center portion layer and outer sides of the lower center portion layer increases from the seating surface side toward the bottom surface side.

7. The cushion pad according to claim 1 ,

wherein the support portion is integrally molded by a single foamed synthetic resin material.
