SEAT COMPONENT, SEAT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A SEAT COMPONENT
A molded body for a seat component, in particular a backrest or a seat part of a seat may have at least one thermally solidified and three-dimensionally formed nonwoven element which is back-molded with a foam material or a foamable material. An additional molded body and a method for producing such a molded body are also disclosed.
1 - 16 . (canceled)
17 . A seat component, comprising:
a seat structure and a molded body,
wherein the molded body comprises at least one thermally solidified and three-dimensionally formed nonwoven element that is back-molded with a foam material or a foamable material,
wherein the seat structure is arranged in a cavity of the at least one nonwoven element and is foamed in by the foam material or the foamable material,
wherein the seat component is a backrest or a seat part of a seat.
18 . The seat component as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the nonwoven element has different levels of density or strength in parts or wherein two nonwoven elements are provided, wherein one of the nonwoven elements has lower density and/or lower strength than the other nonwoven element at least in parts.
19 . The seat component as claimed in claim 17 , wherein two nonwoven elements are provided and are arranged opposite one another and form a cavity between them, in which the foam material or the foamable material is injected and the seat structure is foamed in.
20 . The seat component as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the foam material or the foamable material is connected to the nonwoven element or the nonwoven elements in a form-fitting and/or substance-bonded manner.
21 . The seat component as claimed claim 17 , wherein the nonwoven element or one of the two nonwoven elements forms a user-facing, three-dimensional, bearing surface.
22 . The seat component as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the nonwoven element or at least one of the two nonwoven elements is at least partially made of a plastic fiber material.
23 . The seat component as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the molded body comprises at least one attachment element which is arranged above the nonwoven element or above one of the nonwoven elements and is fixed thereto in a detachable manner.
24 . The seat component as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the nonwoven element or the two nonwoven elements is/are partially or completely permeated by the foam material or foamable material or is/are not permeated by the foam material or foamable material.
25 . The seat component as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the nonwoven element or the two nonwoven elements is/are provided with at least one recess.
26 . The seat component as claimed in claim 25 , wherein the recess is in the shape of a through-hole, a groove or a slot.
27 . A vehicle seat, comprising at least one of the one seat components as claimed in claim 17 .
28 . A method for producing a seat component, comprising:
at least one nonwoven element is thermally solidified and three-dimensionally formed into a molded body,
and then
the one nonwoven element is arranged opposite at least a part of a foam mold and a cavity is formed between them, in which a seat structure is arranged and a foam material or foamable material is injected, wherein the seat structure is foamed in by the foam material or foamable material,
wherein the seat component is a backrest or a seat part of a seat.
29 . The method as claimed in claim 28 , wherein two nonwoven elements are thermally solidified and three-dimensionally formed into a molded body and are then arranged and fixed in respect of one another in such a manner that a cavity is formed between them, in which the seat structure is arranged and a foam material or foamable material is injected, wherein the seat structure is foamed in by the foam material or the foamable material.
30 . The method as claimed in claim 28 , wherein the foam material or the foamable material is connected in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner to the nonwoven element or the two nonwoven elements.
31 . The method as claimed in claim 28 , wherein the nonwoven element or the two nonwoven elements become, or already are, partially or completely penetrated by the foam material or the foamable material, or are not penetrated by the foam material or foamable material, during the filling and foaming of the cavity.
32 . The method as claimed in claim 28 , wherein at least one recess is formed during the foaming process or subsequently on and/or in the nonwoven element or both nonwoven elements.
