Method of zone pouring foam products

A method of forming a foamed article having zoned of varying hardness comprising moving a shaping means relative to a bank of at least two foam pouring means which are aligned in a direction transverse to the direction of relative movement of said shaping means, causing each of said pouring means to distribute a foamable mixture over the surface of the shaper in a fan-like planular pattern transverse to the direction of said shaping means in response to the relative motion between the pouring means and the shaper, adjusting the fan-like planular pattern between the adjacent pouring means to control the area of overlap of said patterns to define zones in the foamed article of different physical characteristics and adjusting the nature of the foamable mixture exiting each pouring means whereby a foamed article having different physical characteristic is formed.
