ELASTIC STRUCTURE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF ELASTIC STRUCTURE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an elastic structure and a manufacturing method of the elastic structure capable of improving pressure dispersion performance for dispersing a pressure applied to an object and posture maintenance performance for maintaining a posture of the object, corresponding to the object.SOLUTION: An elastic structure comprises a body part 11 for supporting a user P, a first elasticity adjustment part 21, a second elasticity adjustment part 22, and a third elasticity adjustment part 23 which are provided in the body part 11. Each of the elasticity adjustment parts 21, 22, 23 is divided into a plurality of laminated cells 31 in a surface direction intersecting a load application direction F from the user P to the body part 11. In each laminated cell 31, a plurality of elastic bodies 33 having different moduli of elasticity are laminated in the load application direction F. The body part 11 has a trunk support part 15 provided at a position corresponding to a trunk Pa in a supine state of the user P, and a pillow installation part 13 on which a head Pb of the user P is placed. The trunk support part 15 is provided with the first elasticity adjustment part 21.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】対象物に対応して、対象物に負荷される圧力を分散する圧力分散性能や対象物の姿勢を維持する姿勢維持性能を向上することができる弾性構造体および弾性構造体の製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】利用者Ｐを支持する本体部１１と、本体部１１に設けられた第一の弾性調整部２１と、第二の弾性調整部２２と、第三の弾性調整部２３とを備え、各弾性調整部２１，２２，２３は、本体部１１に対する利用者Ｐからの荷重印加方向Ｆと交差する面方向に積層セル３１として複数分割されており、各積層セル３１は、異なる弾性率を有する複数の弾性体３３が荷重印加方向Ｆに積層されている。本体部１１は、利用者Ｐの仰臥した状態における体幹Ｐａに対応した位置に設けられた体幹支持部１５と、利用者Ｐの頭部Ｐｂが配置される枕設置部１３と、を有し、体幹支持部１５には、第一の弾性調整部２１が設けられている。【選択図】図２
