Description

Belt fixing device safety in child restraint systems for cars.

The present invention relates to a fastening device for a safety belt in systems child restraint for cars, such as carrycot or child seats for cars.

Background of the invention

The carrycot or child seats that are used in cars can be fixed to the car seat using a hook system known as Isofix or with the seat belt of the car itself.

In practice it is known that fixing with the seat belt is uncomfortable and slow, especially if the user who places the seat belt is not used to do what.

To solve these problems, the owner  of the present invention devised the device described in the European patent EP-A-1 544 026, which it comprises a body fixed to the child restraint system and a articulated body with respect to said fixed body. Also said fixed body comprises a rod, around which the seat belt.

This device achieves its main objective,  which is to make fixing the retention system more comfortable childish.

However, it has been considered appropriate to devise a  new fixing device that further improves your comfort and It also improves the fastening of the seat belt.

Description of the invention

With the fixing device of the invention they manage to solve the aforementioned problems, presenting other advantages to be described.

The fastening device of a belt safety in child restraint systems for cars from the present invention comprises a first body and a second body articulated with each other, and a closing element that closes said bodies against each other, comprising one of said bodies a seat belt placement element, and it characterized by the fact that said positioning element of the seat belt comprises a complementary opening with a projection provided on the other body, so that the belt of security is pressed between said projection and the body provided with said belt positioning element.

Thanks to this feature, fixing the seat belt is more comfortable and more reliable than Currently known devices.

According to a preferred embodiment, said element Seat belt placement is a profile substantially rectangular provided with a central opening also rectangular, and said projection has a profile substantially rectangular.

In addition, said closure element is preferably articulated with respect to one of said bodies, and it comprises a rod that is housed in slots provided in said bodies and a stopper element that closes said bodies the one against the other.

Brief description of the drawings

For a better understanding of how much has been exposed Some drawings are accompanied in which, schematically and only to non-limiting example title, a case study of realization.

Description of a preferred embodiment

As can be seen in Figure 1, the fixing device of the present invention is formed by two bodies 1, 2 articulated with each other. One of these bodies 1, 2 is fixed to a child restraint system for cars (no represented), such as a carrycot or child seat.

This fixation device fixed in position of the child restraint system in a car seat by seat belt 6 of a motor vehicle.

To close one body 1 against the other, one of said bodies 1 comprises a closure element 3, formed by a stem 3a and a stopper element 3b. This closure element 3 is articulated to said body 1 and, in its closed position, it is housed in complementary grooves 4, 5 provided in said bodies 1, 2.

One of said bodies 1 comprises an element of  placement 7 provided with a central opening 7a. This element of placement 7 is a substantially rectangular profile provided with an opening 7a also substantially rectangular, which is used to place the seat belt 6 between said element of placement 7 and body 1.

The other body 2 comprises a projection 8 complementary to said central opening 7a of the element of placement 7, in this case also substantially profile rectangular.

The operation of the fixing device of  The present invention is as follows: First, it is placed the belt 6 between said positioning element 7 and the body 1 (Figure 1).

Next, a body 2 is rotated towards the other (figure 2), causing the protrusion 8 to lodge in the inside the opening 7a of the positioning element 7.

Finally, the closure element is rotated 3, so that its stem 3a is housed in slots 4, 5 of said bodies 1, 2, blocking said stop element 3b the movement of said bodies 1, 2 with each other (figure 3).

As can be seen in Figure 4, in the closing position of said bodies 1, 2, the seat belt 6 is imprisoned and held between said projection 8 and body 1 opposite.

To remove the seat belt 6, you proceed in the opposite way.

Although reference has been made to a concrete embodiment of the invention, is evident to an expert in the matter that the fixing device described is susceptible of numerous variations and modifications, and that all the mentioned details can be replaced by others technically equivalent, without departing from the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
