DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a fiber-based cushion body that can be used in vehicles, furniture, bedding, etc., and a method for manufacturing the same.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, various materials have been used for cushions for vehicle seats and the like. For example, palm rock made from coconut fibers, synthetic resin foams such as urethane foam, and cotton, an organic synthetic fiber, have been used. However, palm rock has a high specific gravity and easily sag, which poses problems in the stability of raw material supply, while urethane foam has poor breathability and tends to get stuffy, making it uncomfortable to sit on. Furthermore, cotton, which is an organic synthetic fiber, has the drawbacks of low hardness and large settiness.

Therefore, in recent years, a cushion body formed by bonding intersections of three-dimensionally intertwined organic synthetic fibers with a urethane resin has been developed and proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 158437/1983. This cushion body has the advantages of excellent breathability, resistance to fatigue, high durability, and light weight.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When producing a cushion body made by bonding intersections of three-dimensionally intertwined organic synthetic fibers with a urethane resin, the organic synthetic fibers are usually impregnated with a urethane prepolymer, and then urethane is added to the cushion body. The prepolymer was being cured. In this case, since the urethane prepolymer has an extremely high viscosity and cannot be impregnated into organic synthetic fibers, the urethane prepolymer is diluted with an organic solvent to adjust the viscosity of the urethane prepolymer.

However, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and the like used as organic solvents are highly toxic and cannot be disposed of as they are due to environmental concerns, and large-scale recovery equipment is required. Furthermore, since steam is used to cure the urethane prepolymer, expensive equipment such as a boiler is required.
