According to the present invention, a side part cavity (23) in which a side part is molded, a body part cavity (24) in which a body part is molded, and an attachment part cavity (25) in which an attachment part is molded are formed between a plurality of molding molds (21, 22), and a guiding part (26) that is configured to guide a foam to the body part cavity when an undiluted foam solution of the second synthetic resin material supplied to the side part cavity foams is arranged at a part of the side part cavity adjacent to, in a left-right direction X, a rear end part of the body part cavity in which a non-contact part is molded.

The present invention provides a process for preparing a polymer material filled composite element, comprising the steps of: i) providing a partially closed space, wherein a polyurethane foam is disposed at least at part of the periphery of the space to restrain the flow of the polymer material resin, and the polyurethane foam is formed by in situ application of a polyurethane composition and has an air flow value of greater than 1 L/min as determined by ASTM D3574 test; ii) applying the polymer material resin into the space and curing the polymer material resin to form a polymer material that fills the space.

According to the present invention, a side part cavity (23) in which a side part is molded, a body part cavity (24) in which a body part is molded, and an attachment part cavity (25) in which an attachment part is molded are formed between a plurality of molding molds (21, 22), and a guiding part (26) that is configured to guide a foam to the body part cavity when an undiluted foam solution of the second synthetic resin material supplied to the side part cavity foams is arranged at a part of the side part cavity adjacent to, in a left-right direction X, a rear end part of the body part cavity in which a non-contact part is molded.

Provided is a seat which includes: a cushion frame including left and right side frames located separately from each other in a lateral direction, and front and rear cross members by which the left and right side frame are connected; left and right second supporting wires located separately from each other in a lateral direction and laid to connect the front and rear cross members; and left and right side supporting members made of plastic and formed integrally with the second supporting wires. The side supporting members have engagement portions which are engaged with the side frames.

A foam part (5, 105, 205, 305), in particular for a vehicle seat, includes several comfort tubes (50, 150, 250, 350) facing a user. Several of the comfort tubes (50, 150, 250, 350) respectively comprise a hole (55, 155, 255, 355, 60, 160, 260, 360) or several holes (55, 155, 255, 355, 60, 160, 260, 360). At least one of the holes (55, 155, 255, 355, 60, 160, 260, 360) is embodied as a blind hole (60, 160, 260, 360).

A deformation detection sensor which combines a magnetic resin dispersing a magnetic filler in a resin with a magnetic sensor, of which stability of detection property is highly enhanced. The deformation detection sensor comprises a magnetic resin-containing polymer foam which comprises a magnetic resin, in which a magnetic filler is contained, and a polymer foam in which the magnetic resin is included, and a magnetic sensor that detects a magnetic change caused by a deformation of the magnetic resin-containing polymer foam, wherein the magnetic resin has an elastic modulus of 0.1 to 10 MPa, and a production thereof.

There is provided a molded body including a main portion and a bank portion each of which is formed by foaming and molding a foam material. The main portion is made of urethane material which is softer than the material for the bank portion. At a boundary portion between the main and bank portions, the main portion is formed in a continuous interlocking profile and the bank portion is also formed in another continuous interlocking profile. The interlocking profile and the another interlocking profile are mated to each other so as to prevent separation between the main portion and the bank portion in a direction of an arrow (vehicle width direction). The boundary portion is provided by partitioning the cavity in a single mold with a weir, introducing different foam materials into both sides of the weir and foaming the introduced materials.
