Schaumstoffelement zur Schalldämmung von Hohlräumen

摘要

A foam component for soundproofing hollow spaces, especially extruded light metal sections, as used in rail vehicle construction. The foam component (10) of the invention comprises an at least two-layer foam sandwich consisting of a spring layer (11) and at least one heavy layer (12) applied to the spring layer (11). The spring layer (11) consists especially of soft polyurethane foam and the heavy layer (12) especially of flocculated composite foam. The foam component (10) of the invention is compressed and welded into an airtight foil (13) before insertion in a hollow space (22) to be soundproofed in such a way that it can be pushed through an aperture (21) into the hollow space (22). After the foam component (10) has been inserted and put in position, the foil (13) is opened so that the foam component (10) expands with the supply of air in such a way that the at least one heavy layer (12) is applied substantially flat to the walls (23) of the hollow space (22) under the pressure of the spring layer.
