First Claim
Patent Images
1. A headrest comprising:
- a headrest stay that has leg portions supported at a seat back, the leg portions extending in a seat height direction;
a first cushion material that is covered by a headrest skin on an inner side of the headrest skin, the first cushion material supporting a mass body and being formed of an elastically deformable urethane, the first cushion material being fixed to the headrest stay by an adhesive force of the elastically deformable urethane on the leg portions of the headrest stay; and
a second cushion material that is covered by the headrest skin on the inner side of the headrest skin, the first cushion material and the second cushion material forming a headrest pad within the headrest skin, the second cushion material being formed of a urethane having a higher elastic coefficient than the first cushion material.

Abstract
It is obtained a headrest and a vehicle seat provided therewith and a method of manufacturing a headrest, that can reduce load to a neck portion of a vehicle occupant at a time of a rear collision while ensuring NV performance. A first urethane and a second urethane are disposed at an inner side of a headrest skin of a vehicle seat, and structure a headrest pad. The first urethane is embedded in the second urethane, and is elastically deformable, and supports a mass body. An elastic coefficient of the second urethane is set to be higher than that of the first urethane.

11. A method of manufacturing a headrest, the method comprising:
-
a first step of setting a mass body between a pair of leg portions of a headrest stay; a second step of, after the first step, connecting the mass body to the leg portions at respective mass body sides of the leg portions by a first cushion material disposed at an outer peripheral side of the mass body, the mass body being connected to the respective mass body sides of the leg portions by supplying and foam-molding a first urethane, which is a raw material of the first cushion material; a third step of, after the second step, inserting the headrest stay, the first cushion material, and the mass body into an interior of a headrest skin such that the headrest skin covers the headrest stay, the first cushion material, and the mass body; a fourth step of, after the third step, forming a headrest pad within the headrest skin that includes the first cushion material and a second cushion material by injecting and foam-molding a second urethane, the second urethane being a raw material of the second cushion material having an elastic coefficient that is higher than an elastic coefficient of the first cushion material.
