Abstract

Abstract A seat (1), in particular for vehicles, with foamed plastic padding (4, 5), has a supporting body (7) made of an open-cell elastic foamed plastic having a first specific gravity. A flame-retardant layer (12) made of an open-cell elastic foamed plastic having a second specific gravity different from the first and/or an upholstery material (14) is provided. An intermediate layer (9) is arranged between the supporting body (7) and the flame-retardant layer (12) and/or the upholstery material (14). The intermediate layer is non-flamable, and composed of a lattice or mesh of high temperature resistant fiber or threads, and/or liquid repellent. The supporting body (7) can be foamed on to the intermediate layer (9). A process for manufacturing the seat (1) is also described.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 104 words
Fire-resistant seating, such as aircraft seats, which comprises at least a soft, supporting material and a cover, between which there is a fire-resistant intermediate layer, which is a combination of a layer of polyurethane foam which has been rendered fire-resistant, having a thickness between 1 mm to 15 mm, and a fiberglass fabric, characterized in that the fire-resistant intermediate layer is a combination of a layer of fiberglass fabric which is firmly attached to the soft supporting material, and a layer of polyurethane foam, which has been rendered fire-resistant and a firmly attached both to the layer of fiberglass fabric and to the cover.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 104 words
Fire-resistant seating, such as aircraft seats, which comprises at least a soft, supporting material and a cover, between which there is a fire-resistant intermediate layer, which is a combination of a layer of polyurethane foam which has been rendered fire-resistant, having a thickness between 1 mm to 15 mm, and a fiberglass fabric, characterized in that the fire-resistant intermediate layer is a combination of a layer of fiberglass fabric which is firmly attached to the soft supporting material, and a layer of polyurethane foam, which has been rendered fire-resistant and a firmly attached both to the layer of fiberglass fabric and to the cover.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
Seating according to claim 1, characterized in that the fiberglass fabric has a weight per unit surface area of 50 to 300 g/m 2 .
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 10 words
Seating according to claim 1 provided with a fire-resistant cover.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 98 words
A seat, in particular for vehicles, with a padding of foamed plastics comprising: a supporting body made from an open-cell elastic plastic foam with a first specific gravity; a flame-resistant upholstery material; said supporting body connected to said upholstering material with a flame-retardant layer made of an open-cell elastic foamed plastic with a second specific gravity different from the first; a non-flammable intermediate layer between said supporting body and said flame-retardant layer, which may be formed by an upholstery material; and said intermediate layer is formed from a lattice or mesh or high temperature resistant fibers or threads.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 98 words
A seat, in particular for vehicles, with a padding of foamed plastics comprising: a supporting body made from an open-cell elastic plastic foam with a first specific gravity; a flame-resistant upholstery material; said supporting body connected to said upholstering material with a flame-retardant layer made of an open-cell elastic foamed plastic with a second specific gravity different from the first; a non-flammable intermediate layer between said supporting body and said flame-retardant layer, which may be formed by an upholstery material; and said intermediate layer is formed from a lattice or mesh or high temperature resistant fibers or threads.
