The invention relates to an upholstered part of a vehicle seat (100), at least including a foam part (12-2) which, in a foaming process, forms a permanent connection to a prefabricated shaped nonwoven (12-1), wherein the prefabricated shaped nonwoven (12-1) forms a supporting structure for the foam part (12-2). It is provided that the prefabricated shaped nonwoven (12-1) has at least one locally situated open cavity (12-11) which at least in sections is filled with foam, so that the foam part (12-2) has a foam-embedded supporting and reinforcing structure at least in one section (11B) of the cavity (12-11).

A long synthetic resin foam body composed of a thermoplastic resin expanded beads-molded substrate and a frame having displacement regulating sections provided at both ends in the longitudinal or lateral direction of the substrate and a connecting section that connects the displacement regulating sections to each other. The substrate has at least one joint forming portion that divides the substrate in a direction intersecting the connecting section into two or more substrate parts. The joint forming portion has a joint that connects the adjacent two substrate parts to each other and is deformable to permit a relative displacement between the adjacent two substrate parts when the substrate contracts or expands.

A bead foam molded member for a vehicle seat, the bead foam molded member being integrated in a layer shape on a side opposite to a seating surface of a resin foam molded body which is a cushion member of the vehicle seat, wherein the bead foam molded member has at least one bottomed substantially tubular lightening hole extending in a direction towards the seating surface from a surface on a side opposite to the seating surface, and a bottom surface portion of the at least one lightening hole on a seating surface side has a substantially hemispherical surface shape.

A vehicle component, in particular an arm rest, includes a structural part and a cladding element that at least partially surrounds the structural part. The structural part is at least partially covered by a protective device.

A vehicle seat for a vehicle. The vehicle seat includes a first foam and a second foam. The first foam has a rate sensitivity as measured in accordance with a modified ISO 3886/1 standard which can accommodate a slow speed test with a static strain rate of about 0.001 second.sup.1 and a high speed test with a dynamic strain rate of about 100 second.sup.1 such that the dynamic versus static strain rate increases by at least 200%, and the first foam is temperature stable such that the glass transition temperature of the first foam is less than or equal to zero degrees Celsius and a change in tan delta of less than or equal to 35% from a median value measured over a temperature range of from about negative 20 degrees Celsius to about 60 degrees Celsius.

A vehicle seat back may include an integrated suspension structure including a suspension wire and suspension mounting guides coupled to both sides of the suspension wire; and a seat back pad foamed for integrating with the integrated suspension structure in a state in which the integrated suspension structure is inserted into a mold for seat back pad formation.

Provided are a vehicle seat member in which even when a foamed resin molded body forming the vehicle seat member shrinks after being demolded, influence of the shrinkage behavior on a frame member embedded in the foamed resin molded body can be prevented, and thus a change in the position of a protrusion, which serves as a part to be anchored to a vehicle body, of the frame member can be prevented, whereby the vehicle seat member can be attached to the vehicle body side easily and reliably, and a vehicle seat including such a vehicle seat member. A vehicle seat member includes a foamed resin molded body and a frame member integrally formed therewith, the frame member including a body portion embedded in the foamed resin molded body and protrusions each protruding from the body portion and having a tip end protruding outward from the foamed resin molded body.

An osmosis membrane is disposed at the boundary between a three-dimensional network structure section and a foam section. The osmosis membrane allows a liquid foam material to permeate. The three-dimensional network structure section is impregnated with the foam material through the osmosis membrane, and subsequently the foam material is solidified, thereby connecting the three-dimensional network structure section and the foam section to each other. The bonded body of the three-dimensional network structure section and the foam section is completed only by disposing the cushion structure component in between the upper mold and the lower mold, and performing a foaming step.

Provided is a core material of a seat cushion for a vehicle. The core material includes: a thermoplastic resin expanded beads molded article 2 that has a substantially rectangular shape in a top view, the rectangular shape having a long side and a short side; and an annular reinforcing member 3 that is insert-molded in the peripheral edge part of the expanded beads molded article. A missing part 4 is formed in the expanded beads molded article, the missing part passing through in the thickness direction. A slit 7 is formed in at least one corner of the lightening part, the slit being oriented outward from the expanded beads molded article from the vicinity of the corner part.

A trim clip is provided for attaching a trim cover to a cushion. The trim clip includes a clip body having a first opening for receiving an engagement feature attached to the trim cover, and a second opening for receiving a retainer attached to the cushion. Furthermore, the clip body may be configured to be snap fit onto the engagement feature and the retainer.
