Abstract

The present invention is a seat pad ( 10 ) that includes a main component ( 1 ) having a seating surface and side components ( 2 ) disposed on both sides of the main component. The main component includes a main first pressure receiving portion ( 1 a ) and a main second pressure receiving portion ( 1 b ). The main first pressure receiving portion has a higher foam density than the side components disposed on both sides. The main component and each of the side components are a flexible polyurethane foam obtained by foam molding a foaming stock solution containing a polyol, a polyisocyanate, a blowing agent, and a catalyst. The main first pressure receiving portion contains diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI). Each of the side components contain tolylene diisocyanate (TDI).

Claims (24)

1. A seat pad comprising:

a main component having a seating surface; and

side components that are disposed on both sides of the main component,

wherein the main component includes a main first pressure receiving portion and a main second pressure receiving portion that are provided side by side,

wherein the side components are provided in a direction in which the main first pressure receiving portion and the main second pressure receiving portion are arranged and on both sides of the main first pressure receiving portion and the main second pressure receiving portion,

wherein the main first pressure receiving portion and the main second pressure receiving portion are a flexible polyurethane foam obtained by foam molding a foaming stock solution containing a polyol, a polyisocyanate, a blowing agent, and a catalyst,

wherein the foaming stock solution that forms the main first pressure receiving portion contains a polyether polyol A1 having a weight average molecular weight of 3000 to 8000 and 3 to 4 functional groups, and diphenylmethane diisocyanate,

wherein each of the side components is a flexible polyurethane foam obtained by foam molding a foaming stock solution containing a polyol, a polyisocyanate, a blowing agent, and a catalyst,

wherein the foaming stock solution that forms each of the side components contains a polyether polyol A2 having a weight average molecular weight of 3000 to 8000 and 3 to 4 functional groups, and tolylene diisocyanate, and

wherein a foam density of the main first pressure receiving portion is higher than a foam density of each of the side components.

2. The seat pad according to claim 1 ,

wherein the main first pressure receiving portion is an under-buttock portion during seating and the main second pressure receiving portion is an under-thigh portion during seating.

3. The seat pad according to claim 1 ,

wherein a foam hardness of the main second pressure receiving portion is lower than a foam hardness of the main first pressure receiving portion.

4. The seat pad according to claim 3 ,

wherein the main first pressure receiving portion is an under-buttock portion during seating and the main second pressure receiving portion is an under-thigh portion during seating.

5. The seat pad according to claim 1 ,

wherein the foaming stock solution that forms the main second pressure receiving portion contains a polyether polyol A3 having a weight average molecular weight of 3000 to 8000 and 3 to 4 functional groups, and diphenylmethane diisocyanate.

6. The seat pad according to claim 5 ,

wherein the main first pressure receiving portion is an under-buttock portion during seating and the main second pressure receiving portion is an under-thigh portion during seating.

7. The seat pad according to claim 5 ,

wherein a foam hardness of the main second pressure receiving portion is lower than a foam hardness of the main first pressure receiving portion.

8. The seat pad according to claim 7 ,

wherein the main first pressure receiving portion is an under-buttock portion during seating and the main second pressure receiving portion is an under-thigh portion during seating.
