Abstract
Abstract A method of and an apparatus for producing a seat cushion member by laminating a sheet of decorative surface material, a sheet of usual polyurethane foam material and a reinforcing web of fabric material in the above order, and subjecting the laminate to heating by a conventional heating unit and, at the same time, to high-frequency dielectric heating by a high-frequency welder to locally fuse required portions of the sheet of usual polyurethane foam material thereby welding the three layers into an integral structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
An apparatus for producing a seat cushion member by welding a sheet of surface material, a sheet of usual or untreated polyurethane foam material and a reinforcing web of fabric material into an integral structure, said apparatus comprising high-frequency welding means including a pair of an upper plate and a lower plate, conventional heating means disposed on the entire surface of at least one of the upper plate and the lower plate of said high-frequency welding means, a sheet of heat resistive elastic material bonded to the heating surface of the plate having the conventional heating means thereon, the heating operation of said heating means being carried out substantially in concurrent relation with the high-frequency weld operation of said high-frequency welding means; said heating means being disposed only on the side opposite to said reinforcing web of fabric material; and said heating means comprises an insulator member which is subject to dielectric heating during the operation of said high-frequency welding means and accumulates internal heat generated due to the dielectric heating.
