Title: Adjustable sleeping or headrest for car child seat Description

1 of 2 page(s)

This invention is a sleeping or headrest for motor vehicle child seat cushions.

There are so-called headrests and sleeping supports from various manufacturers that can be subsequently attached to child car seat cushions.

These headrests or sleep supports are intended to make car journeys more bearable and safer for children aged around 4-12 years. This is particularly true if the children fall asleep on the seat cushion during the journey and bend to the side or forward due to a lack of support for their head and back.

The designs of the various manufacturers are different and, with one exception, can only be used for their own products, which results in an enormous economic disadvantage. Because the market share of the sleeping support or headrest, if it can only be used for their own products, can only be as high as the market share of their own seat cushion.

This represents an enormous economic disadvantage because the break-even point (return on investment) is only reached much later or not at all (depending on market share)

All designs also have the disadvantage that there is either no guide for the seat belt at all, and if so, it is not height-adjustable. Furthermore, some manufacturers do not have a connection between the support and the seat cushion, which allows the seat cushion to slip, which has a negative effect on comfort and safety.

Another disadvantage of all products is that the headrest or sleep support does not grow with the child and may therefore be too small or too big.

A 4-year-old child understandably has a different back length than a 10-11 or 12-year-old child. Therefore, a support that is not adjustable in back length can only fit a child 100% for a short time.

All these disadvantages are eliminated by this invention.

With this sleeping or headrest, the back length can be extended or shortened by using or not using the intermediate segment (Figure 1, Item 3) (see pin Figure 1, Item 8). The headrest or sleeping support can therefore be individually adjusted to the size of the child and therefore the age, so that the highest level of comfort and safety is guaranteed.

This headrest or sleep support also has a safety belt guide (Figure 1, Item 4) which is height-adjustable depending on the size of the child and can be attached to the left or right side of the support.

The attachment between the seat cushion and the headrest or sleeping support is made via the base (Figure 1, Pos. 5) on which the seat cushion is placed and held in place by the child's weight.

Furthermore, a Velcro fastener is used between the underside of the seat cushion and the top of the base to prevent slipping.

The headrest wings (Figure 1, Pos 7) are axially adjustable in order to be able to individually adapt to the child’s head size.

Thanks to the simple attachment between the seat cushion and the headrest or sleeping support, this product is suitable for every seat cushion from every manufacturer and, above all, can be installed and removed quite easily and without the need for tools.
