Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a seat mounted on, for example, a passenger car, and particularly to a so-called genuine leather seat whose outer skin is made of genuine leather.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, so-called genuine leather seats, in which the outer skin is made of genuine leather, have been widely used in passenger car seats, for example, due to the desire for luxury.

FIG. 3 shows the appearance of a general genuine leather seat. This seat 1 consists of a seat cushion 2 and a seat back 3 connected to the rear of the seat cushion 2. In both cases, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the surface of a seat bud 5 surrounded or placed on a rigid frame 4 is covered with a skin 6 made of genuine leather. Further, on both sides of the seat cushion 2, raised support portions 7 are provided for holding the sides of the seated person's body, and this support portion 7 also has a
The surface of a pad 5 surrounded by a rigid frame 4 is covered with a skin 6 made of genuine leather.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

The genuine leather seat constructed in this way has areas where the skins 6 contact each other (hereinafter referred to as skin contact areas), such as between the seat cushion 2 and the support part 7, and between the seat cushion 2 and the seat back 3. )
It has A.

For this reason, when the outer skin 6 bends during a sitting operation or when the seated person moves, the genuine leather rubs against each other at the outer skin contact area A, causing so-called leather shearing and generating abnormal noise. That is, the seated person hears an unpleasant sound every time he or she sits down or moves his or her body, resulting in an inconvenience in which a comfortable sitting experience cannot be obtained.

The present invention was developed in view of the above, and aims to provide a genuine leather seat that provides a comfortable sitting experience without causing any abnormal noises caused by the rubbing of the genuine leather when seated.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a sheet in which almost the entire skin is made of genuine leather, and at least one side of the contact area between the skins is made of a material different from genuine leather (backskin, cloth material, etc.). ).

[Effect]

With this configuration, the genuine leather does not rub against each other, so even if the outer skin flexes when the seat is seated, no abnormal noise is generated due to the leather shifting, and therefore the seated person does not feel uncomfortable.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
Portions corresponding to those in the conventional example in the figure are given the same reference numerals, and their explanation will be omitted.

In this example, one side of each skin contact area A of the sheet 1 is made of a low-friction material different from genuine leather, such as backskin 8. That is, in the skin contact area A between the seat cushion 2 and the support part 7, the back skin 8 is used for a part of the skin on the seat cushion 2 side, and the skin contact area between the seat cushion 2 and the seat back 3 is In A, the back skin 8 is also used as a part of the outer skin on the seat cushion 2 side.

With this configuration, the skin contact area A
Since the genuine leather and the backskin are in contact with each other, it is possible to prevent abnormal noises caused by the genuine leather rubbing against each other. That is, since the backskin makes soft contact with genuine leather with low friction, no abnormal noise is generated even if the outer skin flexes when sitting on the seat. Therefore, the seated person does not hear unpleasant sounds every time he or she sits down or moves his or her body, and can enjoy a comfortable sitting experience.

In this example, the back skin 8 is the epidermis 6.
Since it is sewn integrally with genuine leather as part of the backskin, the amount of expensive genuine leather used can be kept to a minimum by using this backskin 8, which has the effect of further reducing costs. .

It should be noted that as the skin material used for the skin contact portion A, other than backskin, for example, leather or cloth material can be suitably used. When using leather,
Because it is very similar in color and feel to genuine leather, it is less noticeable and less uncomfortable, and when using fabric, it is much cheaper than backskin or leather, so it is more effective. This has the effect of further reducing costs.

Further, although this example shows a case where a non-genuine leather material such as backskin is used only for the skin on one side of the skin contact area A, this may be applied to the skin on both sides of the skin contact area A. In this case, the effect of preventing abnormal noise will be even more pronounced.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that the present invention is widely applicable not only to passenger car seats but also to general furniture seats.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the present invention uses a material different from genuine leather in the areas where the skins of a genuine leather sheet come into contact with each other, thereby preventing abnormal noises caused by the rubbing of genuine leather against each other. This has the effect that the seated person can enjoy a comfortable sitting experience without hearing unpleasant sounds.
