Definitions
- the invention relates to the technical sector of car seats for children. There are many car seats for children, the seat part of which is tiltably mounted relative to the support base.
- the child car seat must allow the passage of safety and restraint straps.
- the type of car seats described above are unsatisfactory taking into account the tilting effect of the seat relative to the base.
- the aim sought after according to the invention was therefore to remedy these drawbacks and to propose a new child car seat which is easy to assemble and disassemble of its components.
- Another goal was to design a new car seat allowing the passage of safety straps and in good conditions, regardless of the position of the seat relative to the base.
- the car seat comprises a seat capable of moving in a limited stroke relative to a receiving base bearing on the car seat, the movement and the displacement of the seat relative to the base being provided by an operating handle whose front end forms a gripping tab, the rear end is secured to the seat and whose intermediate part forming an arm has a protruding means penetrating into the base, the seat and the base being arranged with complementary guide means allowing their respective positioning, the car seat for children being characterized in that said base forms a one-piece body the upper part of which comprises two longitudinal profiled lateral flanks defining between them an established profiled median strip along the length of the base, said lateral flanks being in a raised position pa r relative to the median strip, and in that the lateral flanks are arranged in their inner part adjacent to said median strip with a pair of upper receiving means and a pair of lower receiving means allowing vertical engagement, positioning and locking in the position of complementary means arranged on the underside of the seat, said pairs of receiving means allowing tilt
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a car seat for children, according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the base portion of the car seat alone, according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 is an elevated perspective view of the seat making it possible to see the characteristic arrangements of its underside
- Figure 4 is a view illustrating the configuration of the operating handle
- FIGS. 5 and 6 are views in longitudinal section illustrating the extreme positions of the seat of the seat relative to the base, 4
- H Figure 7 is a perspective view of the seat with the representation of the passages of straps and harnesses holding the child in the seat,
- M Figure 8 is a longitudinal sectional view of the base illustrating its specific profile.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 are partial sectional and perspective views illustrating the alternative mounting of the operating handle.
- the child car seat is referenced as a whole by (1). It includes an adaptable seat part (2), adjustable in position on a base part (3) forming a support base on the car seat. A handle for gripping (4) and for selecting positions makes it possible to adjust the seat relative to the base.
- the seat part (2) is arranged on its underside with two pairs of means (2.1 - 2.2) capable of penetrating into pairs of vertical cavities (3.1) forming a chimney established in the thickness of the inner flanks ( 3.2) longitudinal of the base (3), said cavities (3.1) extending at their base by profiled recesses (3.3) established in the thickness of said sides (3.2) of the base and allowing, after introduction of said means ( 2.1 - 2.2) of the seat in said chimneys, the displacement of said means along said recesses (3.3) allowing the positioning of the seat part (2) relative to the base (3) according to a pre-established stroke corresponding to the length of said recesses (3.3) forming a housing.
- said base (3) forms a one-piece, rigid body, made of plastic material for example, and produced by thermoinjection, self-blowing or the like.
- This base has a lower support plane (3.4) shaped to come on the car seat in the best conditions of contact and positioning.
- the upper part of the base comprises two lateral flanks (3.2) longitudinal profiles of a certain width to be opposite the seat part, the lateral flanks defining between them a profiled median strip (3.5) established along the length of the base, said strip being connected to the front ends
- Said sides are thus arranged in their raised part with pairs of vertical cavities forming chimneys established over a depth up to the plane of junction with the plane of the median strip of the base.
- Said chimneys are thus extended in the thickness of said sides (3.2) by recesses (3.3) forming notches of equal length. These notches established in the thickness of the sidewalls form the accommodation area of the means (2.1 - 2.2) established on the seat part as will be described later. The notches are visible as shown in Figure 2 of the drawings and lead to the inner vertical edge (3.8) of each lateral flank (3.2) of the base (3). Said chimneys as well as said notches are advantageously 4 in number and are oriented in pairs, two by two, facing each other, and in the same position on the inner lateral flanks of the base.
- a pair of upper receiving means and a pair of lower receiving means are thus defined on the lateral internal sides of the base allowing the positioning of the complementary means (2.1 - 2.2) arranged on the seat.
- the length of the notches is established to correspond to the maximum tilting stroke of the seat relative to the base.
- the seat part is arranged on its underside (2.3) with complementary means (2.1 - 2.2) capable of adjusting, penetrating and sliding in place. in said receiver means of the base. More particularly, said seat (2) is arranged on its underside 6 with protruding profiles (2.4 - 2.5) disposed transversely to the seat, said profiles having guide pins (2.1 - 2.2) projecting from the outside. The latter are thus capable of being introduced into the 4 chimneys formed on the base and at the bottom of these by simple gravity of the weight of the seat, they can slide in the recesses made and thus ensure the orientation of the 'seat of the base and more particularly its locking in position.
- the transverse projecting profiles are arranged as follows.
- the profile (2.4) is continuous with two axes (2.1 - 2.2) in external overflow penetrating into the pair of upper receiving means of the base.
- the profile (2.5) projecting lower established on the seat is defined by two forms (2.51 - 2.52) independent in transverse alignment between which is provided a free space (2.6) complementary to a cutout (2.7) formed in the axis lower longitudinal of the seat to allow passage and articulation of the grip handle (4).
- Said protruding shapes (2.51 - 2.52) externally have an overhanging axis (2.1 - 2.2) allowing them to be introduced into the pair of lower receiving means formed on the base.
- the mounting of the seat on the base is excessively easy to achieve by the introduction of the axes (2.1 - 2.2) through the chimneys. Then, said axes are located in the recesses and cannot come out of themselves. There is a self-locking in position of the seat in the base. The axes are maintained by the thickness zone (3.8) between the notches and the apparent upper face of the lateral flanks.
- the position of the chimneys is located beyond the position of the role of the seat relative to the base.
- said base (3) has, along its median strip, between the two lateral flanks, and more particularly on the longitudinal median axis, a plurality of holes 7
- the grip handle includes a grip tab (4.1) located at the front of the seat fitting into the cutout formed on the seat. Said tab is extended by an arm (4.2) of great length, the profiled end (4.3) of which is articulated in the rear part of the seat (2) at a fixed point.
- the latter can advantageously be constituted by the projecting shape (2.4) receiving the aforementioned axes (2.1 - 2.2). In this case, said projecting shape is arranged with a cutout (2.8) allowing the end of said arm to be fixed, which can be arranged in the form of a sleeve (4.4) for example.
- a locking finger (4.5) in position capable of being engaged in one of the holes (3.9) of the base.
- the handle (4) has one end (4.6) of circular section to articulate in free rotation and by pinching in a funnel (2.15) of the base.
- the manipulation of the handle (4) thus makes it possible to orient the position of the seat relative to the base and this, under good conditions, and within the given stroke limits inherent in the length of the aforementioned guide notches.
- the base is arranged in its middle part between the lateral flanks, with two identical successive curved zones (3.10 - 3.11) established in the longitudinal plane of the base and according to a plane inclined decreasing in height from back to front.
- Each curved zone therefore has a position raised at the end so that their connecting zone (3.12) is itself raised and corresponds to the zone of thickness (3.13) formed between the end of the upper notch and the second chimney. lower, by a distance x.
- the upper faces (3.14) of the lateral flanks are arranged in a similar manner, as shown in the figures of the drawings. This arrangement is o particularly advantageous in that it defines, for the two successive curved areas of passage, passages allowing the tilting of the seat in the best conditions.
- the seat (2) is arranged to allow the passage of the straps of the three-point belt used for fixing the seat in the vehicle.
- the oblong openings (2.9) are thus arranged in the seat back.
- it is arranged for the adaptation of the child retaining harness.
- the armrests (2.10) of the seat can be arranged in their upper direction with retaining means (5) of the strap of the harness to allow the release of the child without discomfort.
- the fitting of the harness is carried out in any suitable and known manner.
