CUSHION ELEMENT AND METHOD AND TOOL FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing a cushion element (4), in particular, for a vehicle seat, in which a component (18) suitable for forming a three-dimensional separation zone is inserted in a tool (9), subsequently at least one first foamable mass is introduced into a first space of the tool (9), wherein on foaming said mass, the component (18) forms a three-dimensional separating element (8) between a first foamed cushion region (5) and a further space within the tool (9). According to the invention, the component (18) is pressed against a counter-support (13) in the tool (9) during the forming to give a three-dimensional separating element (8). A suitable tool (9) comprises at least one upper tool (11), a lower tool (10) and a counter support (13) for contacting a component (18) taking on a three-dimensional shape. by introducing the three-dimensional mouldable shape into the tool (9) and the subsequent forming thereof to give a three-dimensional separating element (8) complex formed regions with differing properties, in particular, differing degrees of hardness can be economically generated in a foamed cushion element (4).
