Abstract
A cushion member includes a cushioning layer and a cap at surrounding the cushioning layer. The cushioning layer includes a cushion element such as an elastomeric polymer. The cap includes a top panel with a fire-retardant material configured to bond with the cushion element. The cap further includes a periphery extending downwardly from an edge of the top panel and surrounding the cushioning layer. The cushion member can also include a plurality of cushioning layers and in such case, the periphery surrounding the plurality of cushioning layer. To bond the cap to the cushioning layer with the cushion element, heat can be applied to the cushion element at a contact point between the top panel and the cushioning layer.
Claims20
A cushion member comprising:
- a first cushioning layer with a first cushion element;
- and
- a cap surrounding the first cushioning layer, wherein the cap comprises a fire-retardant material configured to bond with the first cushioning layer.
A cap of a cushion member, the cap comprising:
- a top panel with a fire-retardant material configured to bond with an elastomeric polymer;
- and
- a periphery that extends downwardly from an edge of the top panel.
A method for manufacturing a cushion member, the method comprising:
- positioning a cushioning layer made at least partly of elastomeric material on a guide;
- positioning a fire-retardant fabric over the cushioning layer and the guide such that the fire-retardant fabric extends at least partly beyond at least a part of the cushioning layer;
- and
- heating the fire-retardant fabric, the cushioning layer, and the guide to couple the fire-retardant fabric to the cushioning layer.
