Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a molded cushion element with elastically yielding shaped bodies arranged in a covering, which form a shaped body filling which satisfactorily fills the envelope.
  • Form cushion elements of the type mentioned are used for example on racks of backpacks and should cause an increase in wearing comfort due to their arrangement between risers and body pads. It has already been recognized that the resilience of the form cushion elements should be adapted to the size of the forces acting in order to still allow a defined force in the body contact points as possible despite the padding. For this purpose, it is necessary for the molded cushion elements to have a defined shape and a corresponding deformation resistance even under load in order to sufficiently influence the type of force introduction into the body contact point.
  • the known form cushion elements are in this respect only an unsatisfactory compromise, since good force transmission properties regularly go to the detriment of the achievable wearing comfort.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve molded cushion elements in such a way that they enable a high degree of cushioning comfort without significantly impairing the dimensional stability or the force introduction properties.
  • the form cushion element according to the invention has the features of claim 1.
  • the form cushion element has generically arranged in an envelope, elastically yielding moldings that form a wrapping formful filling moldings filling, wherein the envelope has a textile structure with a deformation resistance device, such that the elastic compliance of the mold cushion element is formed in a first axial direction is less than the elastic compliance in a second axis direction.
  • textile structure is to be understood not without limitation as to the actual material properties of the structure-forming fibers, but merely exemplifies a structure which has preferred axis directions defined by fiber directions or even molecular orientations of the material which are elastic Distinguish between compliances. That is, for example, a tensile force acting in a first axis direction in the structure causes a different deformation or elongation of the structure than a tensile force or tensile load acting in a different axial direction thereof in the structure.
  • the textile structure for forming the different elastic compliances comprises first fibers extending in a first axis direction and second fibers extending in a second axis direction, the first fibers having a lower elastic compliance in the fiber direction than the second ones Fibers, so that over the selected fibers and / or the amount of fibers in the respective axis direction, the properties of the structure or envelope are definable.
  • the form cushion element according to the invention can be realized in a wide variety of designs.
  • use cases are possible in which the padding element is provided, for example, for the intermediate arrangement between risers and body contact points.
  • the form cushion element allows not only an elastic damping by an Anschmiegung to the body contact point while maintaining the greatest possible formality even load distribution.
  • use cases are conceivable in which the form cushion element is provided as a protector element with or without outer impact protection shell.
  • the arrangement of corresponding form cushion elements on a protective helmet is conceivable, and in particular here the form cushion elements can be provided with an additional outer shell (helmet shell).
  • a use as body protection elements is also conceivable, wherein the shape cushioning elements can then be designed, for example, as back protectors.
  • Another example of the use of the molded cushion elements is the use of a suitably shaped form cushion element as a saddle pad, in which case the padding of a riding saddle, a form padding has to adapt to the horseback, is just as possible as a padding of a bicycle saddle, with a trained trained Form cushion element can be used approximately in the manner known per se as "gel pad".
  • the deformation resistance means may be constituted by a fiber core or a cladding which hinders the deformation of the first fibers in an axis direction.
  • At least the first fibers of the textile structure may comprise a thermoplastic resin matrix.
  • the deformation resistance device can in particular be formed by a thermoplastic fixation of the first fibers of the textile structure.
  • the structure of the envelope may be formed at least partially reticulated.
  • the formation of different in different axial directions elastic compliances be effected that the differentiation in the elastic compliances is not achieved in that the structure itself is designed accordingly, but that a deformation of the structure or Enclosure in an axis direction obstructing or restricting deformation resistance device is formed, which may be integrated into the structure of the enclosure or may be formed independently of the structure or the enclosure and is only externally or internally in contact with the enclosure.
  • the deformation resistance device is formed by a supporting device acting on the textile structure from outside or inside.
  • the deformation resistance device may be formed by a thermoplastic fixation of a partial surface of the enclosure.
  • the envelope is at least partially formed from a thermoplastic material.
  • the deformation resistance device may also be formed by a supporting device acting on the casing from outside or inside, wherein the supporting device preferably acts in such a way that a relative movement of the casing relative to the supporting device is prevented in the regions of the casing adjacent to the supporting device.
  • the deformation resistance device by a preferably thermoplastically generated fixation of a partial surface of the envelope.
  • a fixation can be carried out by thermoplastic means, for example, characterized in that the envelope is deformed in particular by a deep-drawing process with simultaneous exposure to temperature of the envelope, so that in particular in the areas which are subject to increased temperature stress, the elastic compliances are limited by the fact that a permanent thermoplastic deformation of these areas takes place.
  • Fig. 1 shows as a possible embodiment, a molded cushion element 10, which is useful, for example, for the regional lining of a protective helmet.
  • the molded cushion element 10 has an envelope 11 formed from a textile, net-like structure 25, which has first fibers 12 and second fibers 13 extending in two main axis directions.
  • the covering 11 comprises one of the fibers 12 and 13 formed textile structure 25, which defines the entire outer surface of the enclosure 11.
  • front contact side 14 of the molded cushion element 10 is limited and a rear connection side 15, which may be provided, for example, for connection with a helmet shell not shown here, may be made of a different material, in particular a sheet material, with which the structure 25 of the envelope 11 may be welded, for example.
  • a helmet shell not shown here
  • the sheath 11 or the fibers 12, 13 have a coating with a thermoplastically deformable plastic, such as polyurethane, in order to produce a welded joint can.
  • a bow-like shaped shell 16 is provided to define a here formed as a semi-circular ring shape of the form cushion element 10, which can be arranged for connection to the enclosure 11 in the envelope 11 itself.
  • the envelope 11 is filled with elastically yielding moldings, which may be formed, for example, as styrofoam beads, wherein the degree of filling of the envelope 11 is selected so that a shape-containing filling of the envelope 11 is given, which completely fills the envelope, without overfilling by a Preloading the molding material filling would be achieved, which would limit the relative mobility of the individual moldings of the molding material filling each other even without external force on the envelope 11.
  • the envelope 11 in the contact area 14 has an alternately composed of lowered background areas 17 and raised contact areas 18 topography.
  • This topography is made possible by thermally deforming the envelope 11 in a thermoforming process under the influence of temperature so that the background regions 17 and contact regions 18 are formed alternately. Then, the filling of the envelope 11 can then be carried out with the elastically yielding moldings, so that the in Fig. 1 represented topography by the supporting effect of the molded body is shaped.
  • Fig. 2 shows once again in principle the mode of action of a molded cushion element 19, which consists in the present case of a form-filled with moldings enclosure 20 which is provided as externally arranged deformation resistance means with a box-like support means 22.
  • a molded cushion element 19 which consists in the present case of a form-filled with moldings enclosure 20 which is provided as externally arranged deformation resistance means with a box-like support means 22.
  • outer load 21 takes place due to acting as a deformation resistance device frame device or support means 22 only a deformation in the range of in Fig. 2 shown top 23 of the enclosure 20th
  • Fig. 2 illustrated support means 22 which is formed box-shaped
  • the enclosure 20 at its side surfaces 24 with a comparable with the support means 22 surface design of a partial surface having a corresponding deformation resistance.
  • the envelope 20 may be provided in the region of the side surfaces 24 with a thermoplastic-fixed coating.
