L'invention concerne une matelassure de siège de véhicule automobile, unThe invention relates to a seat cushion for a motor vehicle, a
siège comprenant une telle matelassure et un procédé de réalisation d'une telle matelassure. seat comprising such padding and a method of making such padding.
Plus particulièrement, la matelassure selon l'invention comprend une coiffe, ladite coiffe comprenant un élément tridimensionnel, formé d'un matériau moulé. More particularly, the padding according to the invention comprises a cap, said cap comprising a three-dimensional element, formed of a molded material.
Il est connu de réaliser une matelassure de siège de véhicule automobile io comprenant un bloc de matériau de rembourrage, notamment à base de mousse souple, et une coiffe d'habillage confectionnée de sorte à définir un volume intérieur logeant ledit bloc, une telle coiffe visant notamment à améliorer le confort et l'esthétique de la matelassure. It is known to produce a motor vehicle seat cushioning comprising a block of upholstery material, in particular based on flexible foam, and a covering cap made so as to define an interior volume housing said block, such cap to in particular to improve the comfort and the aesthetics of padding.
La coiffe peut être confectionnée par association d'éléments formés d'un matériau de revêtement de nature plane, notamment de type textile, cuir ou simili cuir. L'association des éléments entre eux se fait généralement par couture. The cap may be made by combining elements formed of a flat material of coating material, including textile, leather or imitation leather. The association of the elements between them is usually done by sewing.
Ainsi, pour obtenir des géométries complexes, dictées par des exigences esthétiques et/ou de confort, il est nécessaire de prévoir un grand nombre d'éléments et /ou de coutures afin d'obtenir des formes tridimensionnelles complexes, ce qui entraîne des difficultés de réalisation, et donc des coûts de fabrication importants. Thus, to obtain complex geometries, dictated by aesthetic and / or comfort requirements, it is necessary to provide a large number of elements and / or seams in order to obtain complex three-dimensional shapes, which leads to difficulties in realization, and therefore significant manufacturing costs.
L'invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients en proposant une coiffe comprenant au moins un élément moulé tridimensionnel intégré avec des éléments de revêtement classiques, ceci permettant de limiter le nombre d'éléments et/ou de coutures. The invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a cap comprising at least one integrated three-dimensional molded element with conventional coating elements, this to limit the number of elements and / or seams.
A cet effet, et selon un premier aspect, l'invention propose une matelassure de siège de véhicule automobile comprenant un bloc de matériau de rembourrage, notamment à base de mousse souple, et une coiffe d'habillage confectionnée de sorte à définir un volume intérieur logeant ledit bloc, ladite coiffe comprenant au moins un élément de revêtement, formé d'un matériau de revêtement de nature plane, et au moins un élément tridimensionnel, formé d'un matériau moulé, lesdits éléments étant associés entre eux, de sorte à former tout ou partie de ladite coiffe et étant plaqués contre le bloc de matériau de rembourrage. For this purpose, and according to a first aspect, the invention provides a motor vehicle seat pad comprising a block of cushioning material, in particular based on flexible foam, and a covering cap made to define an interior volume. housing said block, said cap comprising at least one coating element, formed of a flat-type coating material, and at least one three-dimensional element, formed of a molded material, said elements being associated with each other, so as to form all or part of said cap and being pressed against the block of cushioning material.
Ainsi, l'élément tridimensionnel associé à l'élément de revêtement permettent d'enrober le bloc de rembourrage, quelle que soit la forme de celui-ci sans avoir à multiplier les coutures ou le nombre d'éléments de revêtement pour réaliser des formes complexes. L'utilisation d'éléments moulés permet donc de disposer io d'une grande liberté de formes, et ce de manière simple et à moindre coût. Thus, the three-dimensional element associated with the coating element makes it possible to coat the padding block, whatever the shape thereof, without having to multiply the seams or the number of coating elements to produce complex shapes. . The use of molded elements therefore makes it possible to have a great freedom of shapes, and this in a simple way and at a lower cost.
Les éléments moulés peuvent notamment comprendre une coque formant au moins une partie d'une des faces d'aspect du revêtement. The molded elements may in particular comprise a shell forming at least a portion of one of the appearance faces of the coating.
Selon un deuxième aspect, l'invention propose un siège de véhicule automobile comprenant une telle matelassure, ladite matelassure comprenant une coiffe, ladite coiffe comprenant au moins un élément tridimensionnel formé d'un matériau moulé plaqué contre un bloc de rembourrage. According to a second aspect, the invention proposes a motor vehicle seat comprising such a padding, said padding comprising a cap, said cap comprising at least one three-dimensional element formed of a molded material pressed against a padding block.
Selon un troisième aspect, l'invention propose un procédé de réalisation d'une telle matelassure, ledit procédé comprenant les étapes suivantes: É confectionner une coiffe en associant au moins un élément de revêtement et un élément tridimensionnel, É disposer ladite coiffe dans un moule, É injecter dans ladite coiffe un mélange précurseur de mousse souple en refermant ledit moule, la mousse se plaquant contre la coiffe lors de son expansion, É démouler la matelassure obtenue après expansion de la mousse. According to a third aspect, the invention proposes a method for producing such a padding, said method comprising the following steps: making a cap by associating at least one coating element and a three-dimensional element, arranging said cap in a mold , Injecting into said cap a precursor mixture of flexible foam by closing said mold, the foam being pressed against the cap during its expansion, demolding the padding obtained after expansion of the foam.
D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront dans la description qui suit, faite en référence aux figures jointes, dans lesquelles: É la figure 1 représente une vue schématique de dos en perspective d'une matelassure de dossier selon l'invention; É la figure 2 représente une coupe agrandie, selon un plan P, en perspective, de la coiffe habillant la matelassure de la figure 1. Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description which follows, with reference to the attached figures, in which: Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective back view of a back padding according to the invention; 2 represents an enlarged section, in a plane P, in perspective, of the cap covering the padding of FIG.
En référence à la figure 1, on décrit à présent une matelassure de siège 1 de véhicule automobile comprenant un bloc 2 de matériau de rembourrage, notamment à base de mousse souple, et une coiffe d'habillage 3 confectionnée de sorte à définir un volume intérieur logeant ledit bloc et plaquée contre ledit bloc. Referring to Figure 1, there is now described a seat cushion 1 of a motor vehicle comprising a block 2 of cushioning material, in particular based on flexible foam, and a covering cap 3 made so as to define an interior volume housing said block and pressed against said block.
io La coiffe 3 comprend au moins un élément de revêtement 4, formé d'un matériau de revêtement de nature plane, notamment de type textile, cuir ou simili cuir, et au moins un élément tridimensionnel 5, formé d'un matériau moulé. The cap 3 comprises at least one coating element 4, formed of a flat material of coating material, in particular of textile, leather or imitation leather type, and at least one three-dimensional element 5, formed of a molded material.
Les éléments 4, 5 sont associés entre eux, de sorte à former tout ou partie de la coiffe 3. The elements 4, 5 are associated with each other, so as to form all or part of the cap 3.
Selon une réalisation, l'élément tridimensionnel 5 est à base de matière plastique injectée. Le choix d'un matériau de nature élastomère permet d'offrir une souplesse compatible avec les exigences de confort attendues. According to one embodiment, the three-dimensional element 5 is based on injected plastic material. The choice of a material of elastomeric nature makes it possible to offer flexibility that is compatible with the expected comfort requirements.
L'élément tridimensionnel 5 est par exemple une coque formant au moins une partie d'une des faces d'aspect du revêtement, comme représenté sur la figure 1. Par face d'aspect, on entend une face du revêtement qui est visible depuis l'extérieur du siège du véhicule. The three-dimensional element 5 is for example a shell forming at least a part of one of the appearance faces of the coating, as shown in FIG. 1. By appearance face, is meant a face of the coating which is visible since the outside of the vehicle seat.
Selon une réalisation, l'élément de revêtement 4 est associé à l'élément tridimensionnel 5 par couture. According to one embodiment, the covering element 4 is associated with the three-dimensional element 5 by sewing.
En variante de réalisation, l'élément de revêtement 4 est associé à l'élément tridimensionnel 5 par soudure. In an alternative embodiment, the covering element 4 is associated with the three-dimensional element 5 by welding.
Selon une réalisation, représentée en figure 2, l'élément tridimensionnel 5 est associé à l'élément de revêtement 4 le long d'un décrochement rentrant 6, un prolongement périphérique 7 étant prévu au delà dudit décrochement de sorte à masquer la zone d'association 8 desdits éléments. According to one embodiment, represented in FIG. 2, the three-dimensional element 5 is associated with the covering element 4 along a re-entrant step 6, a peripheral extension 7 being provided beyond said recess so as to mask the zone of association 8 of said elements.
On obtient de la sorte une esthétique améliorée. In this way, an improved aesthetic is obtained.
On décrit maintenant un procédé de réalisation d'une matelassure 1 telle que décrite précédemment, ledit procédé comprenant les étapes suivantes: É confectionner une coiffe 3 en associant au moins un élément de revêtement 4 et un élément tridimensionnel 5, io ^ disposer ladite coiffe dans un moule, É injecter dans ladite coiffe un mélange précurseur de mousse souple en refermant ledit moule, la mousse se plaquant contre la coiffe lors de son expansion, É démouler la matelassure 1 obtenue après expansion de la 15 mousse. A method for producing a padding 1 as described above, which method comprises the following steps: making a cap 3 by associating at least one coating element 4 and a three-dimensional element 5, arranging said cap in a mold, injecting into said cap a precursor mixture of flexible foam by closing said mold, the foam being pressed against the cap during its expansion, demolding the padding 1 obtained after expansion of the foam.
En procédant selon un tel procédé, dit in situ , on surmoule l'envers de la coiffe 3 par la mousse, ce qui crée une liaison entre les deux sans recourir à des moyens de fixation complémentaires. By proceeding according to such a method, said in situ, overmolding the back of the cap 3 by the foam, which creates a connection between the two without the use of additional fastening means.
En variante, on peut réaliser au préalable un bloc de mousse souple, ledit bloc étant habillé, dans une deuxième étape, d'une coiffe 3 selon l'invention. Un tel procédé requiert, toutefois, de fixer la coiffe 3 au bloc de mousse, par des moyens de fixation prévus à cet effet, de sorte à assurer sa tenue correcte en cours d'utilisation de la matelassure 1 et à plaquer le bloc de mousse contre la coiffe 3. As a variant, a block of flexible foam may be produced beforehand, said block being dressed, in a second step, with a cap 3 according to the invention. Such a method requires, however, to fix the cap 3 to the foam block, by means of attachment provided for this purpose, so as to ensure its correct behavior during use of the padding 1 and to press the block of foam against the cap 3.
