A jounce bumper of an automotive vehicle suspension system contains a longitudinal axis. The jounce bumper is configured to resiliently deform between an uncompressed state and a compressed state, where in the compressed state the jounce bumper has a smaller length in the direction of the longitudinal axis than in the uncompressed state. The jounce bumper also contains a base body that acts as a primary spring element, where the base body is partially or completely made of a volume-compressible first material. In particular, the base body further contains at least one secondary spring element integrated within the base body. The secondary spring element is resiliently deformable between a first length in the uncompressed state and a second length in the compressed state, where the second length is smaller than the first length. The secondary spring element is partially or completely made of a compact second material.

An apparatus for molding a foam pad with a wire assembly for an automotive vehicle includes a mold bowl operably coupled to a mold lid to define a mold cavity therebetween. The mold bowl includes a bottom surface and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from and encircling the bottom surface. A plurality of wire holders extend inwardly from and are spaced around the peripheral wall for vertically positioning the wire assembly within the mold cavity. A holding element, such as an arcuate recess, is disposed along an upper ledge of at least one of the wire holders for horizontally positioning the wire assembly within the mold cavity. The mold cavity receives a foam material for filling the mold cavity and surrounding the wire assembly to form the foam pad with the wire assembly embedded therein.

Provided is an electromagnetic dielectric material (1). The electromagnetic dielectric material (1) is a column structure. The electromagnetic dielectric material (1) includes an inner core (11), a first foam layer (12) and a second foam layer (13) sequentially arranged from inside to outside on the cross section of the column structure. The first foam layer (12) and the second foam layer (13) are each a layer formed from a foam material foamed. The electromagnetic dielectric material further includes metal wires (14). The metal wires (14) are disposed in the longitudinal direction of the column structure, are not in contact with each other and are evenly distributed on the periphery of the first foam layer (12). Further provided is a method for producing an electromagnetic dielectric material (1).

A housing for a vibration unit which can be arranged on a seat cushion of a vehicle seat and is intended to generate a haptically detectable signal at the vehicle seat. In order to enhance the driving experience of an occupant, in particular a driver, of a vehicle, the housing has an edge-free surface and at least one housing opening, which is permeable to sound waves.

An article includes a foamed member including a polymeric material, and a core embedded in the foamed member, the core includes a first surface, a second surface and a sidewall, the foamed member covers at least a portion of the first surface, and covers the entire sidewall and the entire second surface. A method of manufacturing an article includes providing a molding device including a first mold and a second mold, the first mold includes a supporting member protruded from an inner wall. The method further includes disposing a core on the supporting member; disposing the second mold over the first mold to form a mold cavity, the core is disposed within the mold cavity; injecting a first material into the mold cavity; and foaming the first material to form a first foamed member, wherein at least a portion of the first foamed member is in contact with the core.

A dual density molded member, a dual density molded tooling, and a method of forming the dual density molded member, the dual density molded member including an outer shell comprising a self-skinning polyurethane foam, and a core comprising a urethane foam, the self-skinning polyurethane foam being higher in density than the urethane foam

A bedding product having a cooling layer and a method therefor. The bedding product has a gel layer having an outside surface, a bonding surface opposite the outside surface, and a perimeter. A memory foam layer surrounds the perimeter and is disposed on the bonding surface. A textile layer having a first rectangular portion and a second rectangular portion affixed on a perimeter thereof to the first rectangular portion retains the gel layer and memory foam layer therebetween. The textile layer has a cooling surface, an opposing surface opposite the cooling surface, and at least one vent disposed adjacent to an edge portion of the first or second rectangular portion. The gel layer contains a plurality of hexagonal prism-shaped peaks and valleys on the outside surface thereof, and the gel layer and memory foam layer have a plurality of air conduits for air flow communication with the vent.

An in-mold foam molded article has a foam body made from olefin-based resin pre-expanded beads and an insert member having an elongated connecting portion and movement resisting portions provided apart from one another in the elongated connecting portion. The insert member is subjected to insert molding upon in-mold foam molding using the olefin-based resin pre-expanded beads. The foam body has a movement facilitating structure that facilitates relative movement between the insert member and the foam body during shrinkage of the in-mold foam molded article after release from a mold.

A steering wheel includes a core and a foamed polyurethane coating that covers a ring section of the core. The foamed polyurethane coating is formed by foam molding of a polyurethane material containing 91 parts by mass of a base polyol, 10 to 25 parts by mass of a pigment, 1 to 3 parts by mass of a benzotriazole ultraviolet absorber, 0.8 to 2.5 parts by mass of a hindered amine photostabilizer, and a polyisocyanate. A total amount of the ultraviolet absorber and the photostabilizer is 2.7 parts by mass or more. The foamed polyurethane coating is in the form of an integral skin foam including a highly foamed core foam and a lowly foamed skin layer. The surface of the skin layer is not provided with a coating film formed from a coating material, and serves as a product surface that assumes a color of the pigment.
