Abstract

A seat cushion pad for a vehicle and a seat back pad for a vehicle producing no discomfort between seat comfort of an under-hip section and a backrest section and that of the other sections. The seat cushion pad for a vehicle, in which a part of or entire seating surface except the under-hip section is composed of a material b having a density lower than the density of a material a, or the seat back pad has any one of features described in the following items (i) to (iii). (i) Load-deflection lines of the material a and the material b are allowed to substantially agree with each other. (ii) Amounts of depression or static spring constants of the material a and the material b by a specific reaction force (for example, 50 N or 100 N) based on a JASO-B408 testing method are allowed to substantially agree with each other. (iii) Reaction forces at a specific amount of deflection of the material a and the material b based on a push-pull gage measuring method are allowed to substantially agree with each other.

Claims (10)

1. A seat cushion pad for a vehicle, characterized in that a part of or entire seating surface except an under-hip section comprises a material b having a density lower than the density of a material a constituting the under-hip section,

wherein load-deflection lines of the material a and the material b are allowed to substantially agree with each other;

wherein a pressure plate has a diameter of 10 mm in measurement of the load-deflection line, and

wherein a load-deflection line of the material a is equal to or less than a load-deflection line of the material b in deflection, and the difference in deflection between the material a and the material b is within 15% when the same load is applied thereto.

2. A seat for a vehicle, comprising the seat cushion pad for a vehicle according to claim 1 .

3. A seat back pad for a vehicle, characterized in that a part of or entire sections except a backrest section comprise a material d having a density lower than the density of a material c constituting the backrest section,

wherein load-deflection lines of the material c and the material d are allowed to substantially agree with each other;

wherein a pressure plate has a diameter of 10 mm in measurement of the load-deflection line, and

wherein a load-deflection line of the material c is equal to or less than a load-deflection line of the material d in deflection, and the difference in deflection between the material c and the material d is within 15% when the same load is applied thereto.

4. A seat for a vehicle, comprising the seat back pad for a vehicle according to claim 3 .
