Abstract

A seat pad with improved thermal comfort and improved vibration absorptivity and a seat pad manufacturing method for easily obtaining the seat pad are provided. In the seat pad ( 1 ), when a surface portion ( 2 ) up to 10 mm from a surface ( 1 f ) is cut out and the air permeability AR 1 of the surface portion ( 2 ) is measured in compliance with JIS K 6400, the air permeability AR 1 is more than 5 cc/cm 2 /sec and 25 cc/cm 2 /sec or less. The seat pad manufacturing method is a seat pad manufacturing method for obtaining the seat pad ( 1 ) by supplying a molding material into a molding die and performing foam molding. As the molding die, a molding die an inner surface of which is covered with polystyrene or polyethylene is used.

Claims (24)

1. A seat pad comprising a surface portion up to 10 mm from a surface,

wherein

an air permeability of the surface portion is measured in compliance with JIS K 6400-4:2004, the air permeability is more than 5 cc/cm 2 /sec and at or less than 25 cc/cm 2 /sec,

the seat pad further comprises a cushion pad,

a seat portion of the cushion pad is partitioned into an under-buttocks portion and an under-knees portion,

the air permeability of the surface portion of the under-buttocks portion on a seat side is within a range of more than 5 cc/cm 2 /sec and at or less than 25 cc/cm 2 /sec, when the air permeability is measured in compliance with JIS K 6400-4:2004, and

the air permeability of the surface portion of the under-knees portion is greater than the air permeability of the surface portion of the under-buttocks portion.

2. The seat pad according to claim 1 ,

wherein when a core portion inside the surface portion is cut out and an air permeability of the core portion is measured in compliance with JIS K 6400-4:2004, the air permeability of the core portion is greater than the air permeability of the surface portion.

3. The seat pad according to claim 1 , further comprising a groove configured to partition an air permeability limited portion having the surface portion the air permeability of which is limited to within a range of more than 5 cc/cm 2 /sec and at or less than 25 cc/cm 2 /sec, when the air permeability is measured in compliance with JIS K 6400-4:2004, from another portion adjacent to the air permeability limited portion,

wherein the surface portion of the air permeability limited portion includes a surface portion of a side face of the groove connected to the air permeability limited portion.

4. A seat pad comprising a surface portion up to 10 mm from a surface,

wherein an air permeability of the surface portion is measured in compliance with JIS K 6400-4:2004, the air permeability is more than 5 cc/cm 2 /sec and at or less than 25 cc/cm 2 /sec,

the seat pad further comprises a groove configured to partition an air permeability limited portion having the surface portion the air permeability of which is limited to within a range of more than 5 cc/cm 2 /sec and at or less than 25 cc/cm 2 /sec, when the air permeability is measured in compliance with JIS K 6400-4:2004, from another portion adjacent to the air permeability limited portion, and

the surface portion of the air permeability limited portion includes a surface portion of a side face of the groove connected to the air permeability limited portion.

5. The seat pad according to claim 4 ,

wherein when a core portion inside the surface portion is cut out and an air permeability of the core portion is measured in compliance with JIS K 6400-4:2004, the air permeability of the core portion is greater than the air permeability of the surface portion.

6. The seat pad according to claim 4 ,

wherein the air permeability of an entirety of the surface portion of the cushion pad on a seat side is limited to within a range of more than 5 cc/cm 2 /sec and at or less than 25 cc/cm 2 /sec, when the air permeability is measured in compliance with JIS K 6400-4:2004.

7. A seat pad manufacturing method for obtaining a seat pad comprising a surface portion up to 10 mm from a surface, the seat pad manufacturing method comprising supplying a molding material into a molding die and performing foam molding,

wherein an air permeability of the surface portion is measured in compliance with JIS K 6400-4:2004, the air permeability measurement is more than 5 cc/cm 2 /sec and at or less than 25 cc/cm 2 /sec,

an inner surface of the molding die is covered with polystyrene or polyethylene is used,

the molding die includes a protrusion configured to partition an inner surface of the molding die covered with polystyrene or polyethylene, and

a side face of the protrusion is covered with polystyrene or polyethylene.
