Embodiment Construction

[0022] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The vertical direction (height direction) in the following description means the height direction and Figure 1A and Figure 2A in the up and down direction. Width direction representation Figure 1A and Figure 2A in the horizontal or left-right direction. In addition, the forward direction means the side of the seating surface of the vehicle seat, and the rearward (rearward) direction means the side opposite to the forward direction.

[0023] The cushion 1 of the vehicle seat according to the present embodiment is used as a back portion (seat back) of a person sitting on the vehicle seat, and the cushion 1 includes a foam body 10 and embedded threads provided in the foam body 10 20. The foam 10 is a member used as a cushioning material of a seat, and the foam 10 is formed into a prescribed shape by so-called foam molding. The embedded wire ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a pad of a vehicle seat that includes a foam (10), and an insert wire (20) that is connected to an upholstery (82) covering an outer surface of the foam (10), in which the insert wire (20) is disposed within the foam (10) in an elastically-deformed state. The present invention also provides a method of manufacturing a pad of a vehicle seat that includes a wire mounting process of mounting the insert wire (20) within a mold where the insert wire is elastically deformed to a specified shape and mounted on a predetermined position; and a foam (10) molding process of molding the foam (10), in which the insert wire (20) elastically-deformed into the specified shape is disposed, by the mold.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an upholstery for a vehicle seat and a method of manufacturing the same, in which an inlay wire for attaching a seat trim (cover) is provided within a foam body. Background technique [0002] For example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-33248 (JP-A-11-33248), the cushion is covered with a trim which is a cover on a general vehicle seat. The garnish is attached to the pad by using an embedded wire (referred to as lead-in wire in JP-A-11-33248) provided in a foam (cushion material) forming the pad. Specifically, the suspension wires provided on the back side of the trim and the embedded wires provided in the foam are defined at several points (arched loops), so the trim is attached so as to cover the cushion. [0003] Typically, the inlaid wire has a different shape for each type of vehicle seat. For example, the shape of the embedded thread is designed based on the shape of the pad (foam), ...
