Description

Child restraint device in vehicles.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device whose mission is to be used in conjunction with a seat belt of employees in cars for child restraint

The seat belts of the rear seats vehicles comprising a banner that starts from the part upper-side seat and bottom on the same side, which is provided with a male hitch in the extreme, in line with a female hitch located at the level of the seat, on the opposite side. However children are from smaller height can not be placed this type of belt until that meet an age, since the banner itself can cause a serious damage in case of accident, in addition to that they can leave dismissed from behind the belt if they are excessively small. This device comes to replace this deficiency allowing use the conventional seat belt in children from an age in which they hold themselves sitting without falling.

Background of the invention

Currently, employment is usual and mandatory of supplementary chairs, which are fixed to the vehicle seat with the seat belt itself or with other means, which are you also have a seat belt or other means of Mooring of the child. The problem with these seats is  they are associated with the vehicle and not with the child and when a person different picks up the child it is unlikely that all of them have their Car enabled with these chairs.

To solve this problem, they have been designed  some elements in the form of a vest or harness worn by the child, which eliminates the need for the chair, but all of them they are fixed on the body or on the seat of the vehicle, thereby  the situation is the same, or worse, since the vehicle has to have the means to tie this vest. This situation is which was recommended in documents ES-U213541 ES-1000301.

Another alternative, shown in the document EP-0575562, consists of placing a kind of roller cylindrical in the conventional belt band that is located at ventral level, whose mission is to move the flag transverse to the side and also constitute another area wide at ventral level where even the child can support arms. This alternative has the advantage that you can go with the child and fit the vehicle belt circumstantially, but It has not been implemented in the market.

Description of the invention

The device of the invention is constituted by a vest-harness comprising at least one ventral band or belt, provided with a frontal closure, and braces that pass through the shoulders and cross at the back, having at least one of the shoulder pads of a female hitch and at least the opposite side of a male hitch located in the ventral belt. With this configuration the vest fit in the hooks of the seat belt of the vehicle, as if an extension of the same were treated, being the child subject to the seizing similarly to adults, subject by the own
vest.

According to another characteristic of the invention the braces are attached at chest height by a horizontal band that It closes in the frontal area, to prevent the child from Remove the vest by yourself.

It is also planned to place hooks, both for the male as a female part of the belt, on both shoulder pads and on both sides of the ventral belt, in order to sit at Child in any of the rear seats. Optionally They can have two inside pockets in which they hide the hooks that are not in use.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 shows a front view of a child  carrying the device of the present invention.

Figure 2 shows a view equivalent to the anterior from the posterior area.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the figures referenced is a vest (1) that is defined essentially by a ventral belt (11), provided with a closure front (12), from which some braces (14) that intersect in the back. At chest height another band (13) joins conveniently by sewing or by "velcro" to the straps (14) and closes in front; This band's mission is to avoid that the child removes the braces and consequently can leave the  vest (1).

In the figures you can see on the right shoulder strap  a female hitch (2) in which it is likely to couple the male termination available to the banner (4) of the belt Safety of a conventional vehicle. It is also observed in the ventral belt, in the left area a small belt that ends in a male hitch (3) capable of attaching at the termination female (5) existing at seat height in vehicles for The seat belt closure.

Logically the hooks (2) and (3) will be present on both sides to fix this device in any of the rear side seats of the vehicle. Too it is feasible to compose inside the shoulder strap (14) and the belt (11)  two pockets in which the unused hitch is hidden.

The placement in the child is very simple, enough with putting on the vest and securing the two front closures. The fixing the child wearing this vest in one of the seats behind the vehicle too, it is enough to fix the banner (4) at closing (2) and closing (3) at termination (5), both of the belt corresponding to the seat in which it is intended place the boy or girl. Freeing him from this bond for an adult is very simple, since it is like a seat belt with double closing.

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not involve an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
