Description
~P762~
This invention relates to means for supporting a child on a vehicle seat while under the restraint of a safety belt or harness.
Normal adult safety belts of the lap-sash type cannot be conveniently used to restrain a child located on a vehicle seat because the sash will not cross the child's body at a comfortable or safe location. It is an object of the present invention to overcome or alleviate that difficulty by providing a cushion which can be placed on a vehicle seat to support a child. The depth of the cushion is such that a child supported thereon is better positioned for retention by an adult sash strap. If desired, the cushion may be arranged so that the depth can be varied to suit circumstances.
In accordance with one aspect of this invention there is provided a child's safety cushion for location on a vehicle seat having an adult lap and sash safety belt, said safety cushion including a base having an upper surface for seating engagement by an occupant, a side wall upstanding from each of two opposite sides of said base and extending at least part-way between front and rear edges thereof, and a belt receiving recess at each said side of the base and being in the form of a slot which opens towards the front of said base and terminates before the rear thereof, each said slot being open-sided to permit a belt to be moved edgewise into and out of that slot, each said side wall having a forwardly extending portion which forms part of the boundary of the adjacent said slot and overlies part of a belt received in that slot, the arrange-~' ~, , -. - ::

ment being such that in use the lap portion of said safety belt is received in both said slots and the sash portion thereof is received in one of said slots, whereby said lap portion serves to retain said occupant on said base and to also retain said safety cushion on said vehicle seat and the geometry of said sash portion is modified by engage-ment beneath one of the said forwardly extending side wall portions.
The essential features of the invention, and further optional features, are described in detail in the following passages of the specification which refer to the accompany-ing drawings. The drawings, however, are merely illustrat-ive of how the invention might be put into effect, so that the specific form and arrangement of the features (whether they be essential or optional features) shown is not to be understood as limiting on the invention.

there is a slight upturn 7 at the rear of the base 3 which arises out af the contouring of surface 2 (see figure 3).
A recess or slot 8 is formed through the front edge 9 of each wall 4 and extends rearwardly, but terminates before the rear edge 11 of the wall 4. As seen in figure 1, each slot 8 is adapted to receive a respective part of a lap strap 12 oE a safety bel-t, and one of the slots 8 also receives part of a sash strap 13. The depth of the rear end portion 14 of each slot 8 is increased downwardly to create a forwardly facing shoulder 15 which resists removal of the straps 12 from the slots 8. It will be appreciated that the slots 8 will function equally well with safety harnesses and other forms of belt restraints different to that particularly shown in figure 1. For example, a child's safety harness may be used in association with a conventional lap strap.
The arrangement shown in figure 1 has the fur-ther advantage that the safety belt buckle 16 is located outside the cushion, and the adjacent side wall 4 protects that buckle 16 against inadvertent release by a child seated on the cushion.
There are several other advantages of the arrangementr the basic one beiny that a child seated on the cushion is located at a more comfortable level for viewing the surroundings.
More important however, is the fact that in the resulting elevated pOSitiO}l, the sash strap 13 crosses the child's body at a comfortable and relatively safe position. In that regard, the geometry of the sash strap 13 is advantageously influenced by the overhang 17 of ths side wall 4 adjacent the buckle 16.
A further consequence of the arrangement shown, is that the lap strap 12 is located, by the slots 8, so as to pass across the thighs of the child, wh~ereas it would pass across soft MA 4.

tissue areas of the child if not so restrained. As a result, there is less likelihood of injury to the child in the event of sudden deceleration of the vehicle. Still fur-ther, in the event of such deceleration, the cushion will tend to pivot about the lap strap 12 such that the :Eront edge 6 of the base 3 i5 urged upwards, and that increases the retention effect oE the strap 12 on both the cushion and the child occupant.
A cushion as described can be formed oE any suitable material, or combination of materials. In a preferred method of manufacture however, the cushion is formed by first produc-ing an outer skin or covering which is flexible but has ;
sufficient strength to retain its shape when filled with a core material. That outer skin or covering preferably forms the entire outer surface of the cush.ion apart Erom an opening through which the core material may be introduced, and may be foxmed by rotational moulding of a suitable material such as polyvinylchlorine while curing the material in an oven to set it in the moulded shape. A metal frame 23 as shown in figure 9 is then pssitioned within the skin or coverin~ 24 so as to be located as shown in figure 10. A~y suitable means may be employed to retain the frame 23 and skin or covering 24 in the correct relationship. The hollow interior of the skin or covering 24 is then filled with a suitable resilient core matexial 25 such as polyurethane, which may be introduced in liquid form through the opening 26 of the skin or covering 24 and then activated to foam or expand to fill the available space. In that way the skin or covering 24 is retained in the desired shape and the frame 23 is secured ayainst relative movement. ~ strong, serviceable, and lightweight construction results.

The comple-ted cushion is shown in figure 11, and preferably has a shallow recess 27 in the outer surface of each side wall 4 and which extends downwardly and rearwardly from the respective slot portion 14. The recess 27 is designed to at least partially accommodate the buckle of an adult safety b61~
belt and thereby reduce possible contact of that b0~ with a child occupant of the cushion. It also contributes towards obtaining a suitable yeometry for the safety belt.
It may be desirable to provide means whereby the effective (seating) height o~ the cushion can be varied to suit different requirements. That is, the desirable degree of elevation will vary according to the age of the child who is to use the cushion. One such means is shown in figure 6, and involves the use of a booster section 18 which is locatable beneath the undersurface 19 of the cushion base 3 so as to elevate the height of the seating surface 2. Two or more booster sections 18 ma~ be used if required. The cushion base 3 and booster section 18 may be restrained against separation in many different ways. In the figure 6 arrangement, tha-t is achie~ed by a spigot por-tion 21 on the upper side of the booster section 18 and which is adapted to locate within a substantially complementary recess 22 formed in the undersurface 19 of the base 3. Obviously, the relative positions of the spigot por-tion 21 and recess 22 can be reversed. If two or more booster sections 18 are to be used in combination, each may be provided with a recess within its lower side, which is comparable with the recess 22 of the cushion base 3.
The basic concept of the invention can be adopted in various forms. Figure 7, for example, shows an embodiment alternative -to that of figures 1 to 6, and items of that MA 6.
, .. .. .
, ~ ~ , - .
embodiment comparable with items of the figure 1 to 6 embodi-ments are given a liXe reference numeral except that they are in the series 100 to 19~.
In the figure 7 construction, the cushion is recessed 5 or otherwise contoured at its upper surface 102 to comfort-ably accommodate a child, and means is provided at each of two opposite sides for releasably attaching the lap strap (not shown) of an adult safety belt. In the example shown, each such means comprises a T-shaped slot 108 extending 10 between the upper and lower surfaces of the cushion. It is to be understood however, that the cushion could be held to a vehicle seat by way of a special strap provided for that purpose rather than by an adult lap strap, and the same attaching means can be used in either case.
A cushion according to the invention may be used in combination with an auxiliary unit which provides both the backrest and sides for a complete child's safety seat.
That is, a complete safety seat results from the combination of the cushion and such a unit, and that safety seat can be 20 releasably secured to a vehicle seat in any appropriate manner. For example, the top of the unit backrest can be attached to the vehicle parcel shelf through anchor means.
The cushion and auxiliary unit combination can be used with vexy young children le.g. 6-24 months) and the 25 cushion alone can be used with older children (e.g. 2-11 years).
- '' ~- ' r 7~
As in the previously described embodiment, the cushion of figure 7 may be of fixed or adjustable depth ~ i.e., the effective distance between its upper and lower surfaces.
That adjustment could be achieved in a manner similar to that shown in figure 6, but other arrangements are clearly available.
Yet another embodiment of the invention is shown in figure 8, and that is a particular form of adjustable cushion in ~hich a base member 203 is arranged to removably receive a cushion section 218, or a plurality of such sections 218 located one above the other. Thus, the effective cushion depth can be varied by removal or addition of the cushion sections 218, and in the minimum depth condition the base 203 alone may be used if it is sufficiently resilient at its upper surface for comfortable seating.
The base member 203, in the construction shown, includes a platform part 200 and upstanding side walls 204 at each of two opposite sides of the platEorm part 200.
Cushion portions 218 can be located in overlying relationship on the platform part 200 and between the side walls 204, and any suitable means can be provided to releasably retain one or more of the portions 218 in that position. As shown, that means may include an inwardly projecting lip 231 at the upper edge of each side wall 204, which serves to resist removal of a cushion section 218 through the top of the base member 203.
Pn upright ahutment shoulder 232 i5 provided at the forward edge portion of each side wall 204 for engagement by the front edge of each cushion section 218, so that removal and replacement of cushion sections 218 must be effected through the back of the base member 203, which in use is located against the backrest of the vehicle seat.

Instead of using overlying cushion sections 218 to vary the efective depth, the hase member 203 may be ada~ted to receive either one of a plurality of sections, each of which has a different depth. In that alternative arrangement, the total effective depth of the cushion is varied by substitu-tion rather than b~ addition or removal of cushion sections.
It will be appreciated from the foregoing tha-t the present invention ~rovides an improved means for supporting a chlld safely OTl a vehicle seat. The cushion enables a child to be supported at a height such as to permit a view through the vehicle window, and the relatively large area of engage-ment between the cushion and vehicle seat tends to guard against slipping on the vehicle seat. Furthermore/ the cushion permits optimum use of existing adult safety belts.
Finally it is to be understood that various alterations, modifications and/or additions may be introduced into the constructions and arrangements of parts previously described without departing ~rom the spirit or amhit of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

As in the previously described embodiment, the cushion of figure 7 may be of fixed or adjustable depth ~ i.e., the effective distance between its upper and lower surfaces.
That adjustment could be achieved in a manner similar to that shown in figure 6, but other arrangements are clearly available.
Yet another embodiment of the invention is shown in figure 8, and that is a particular form of adjustable cushion in ~hich a base member 203 is arranged to removably receive a cushion section 218, or a plurality of such sections 218 located one above the other. Thus, the effective cushion depth can be varied by removal or addition of the cushion sections 218, and in the minimum depth condition the base 203 alone may be used if it is sufficiently resilient at its upper surface for comfortable seating.
