Abstract
Description
"Dispositif pour positionner la diagonale d'une ceinture de sécurité sur un siège arrière". "Device for positioning the diagonal of a seat belt on a rear seat".
Pour améliorer la sécurité des enfants de 7 à 15 ans transportés dans une voiture, il est connu de les maintenir sur le siège arrière avec l'une des ceintures prévues pour les adultes. To improve the safety of children from 7 to 15 years of age transported in a car, it is known to keep them in the rear seat with one of the belts provided for adults.
Alors que la branche diagonale de la ceinture de sécurité décrit une trajectoire à peu près constante, quel que soit le volume du sujet, sa position par rapport à un enfant dépend de la taille de cet enfant et de la position transversale de ce dernier sur le siège. While the diagonal branch of the seat belt describes an almost constant trajectory, whatever the volume of the subject, its position relative to a child depends on the size of this child and the transverse position of the latter on the seat.
I1 en résulte que, selon les configurations, le point d'appui de la partie haute de cette diagonale se déplace entre le cou et le bas de l'épaule, alors qu'il devrait coincider avec la clavicule pour être en mesure de mieux absorber le choc. En effet, les tests effectués en laboratoire d'essai montrent nettement que l'énergie absorbée dépend de la position de cette diagonale au début du choc et que les résultats sont bien meilleurs et sans conséquence pour l'enfant, lorsque la diagonale de la ceinture croise sur la clavicule au tout début du choc. It follows that, depending on the configuration, the fulcrum of the upper part of this diagonal moves between the neck and the bottom of the shoulder, when it should coincide with the collarbone to be able to better absorb shock. Indeed, the tests carried out in the test laboratory clearly show that the energy absorbed depends on the position of this diagonal at the start of the shock and that the results are much better and of no consequence for the child, when the diagonal of the belt crosses over the collarbone at the very start of the shock.
Les mêmes problèmes de déplacement du point d'appui supérieur de la diagonale se rencontrent avec les oreillettes des appuis têtes amovibles destinés à caler transversalement la tête de l'enfant. The same problems of displacement of the upper diagonal support point are encountered with the atria of the removable head supports intended to wedge the child's head transversely.
La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant un dispositif, réglable en fonction de la taille de l'enfant et permettant aux parents de régler, par rapport à l'enfant, la position de la diagonale de la ceinture, afin que celle-ci croise au niveau de sa clavicule, quelle que soit sa taille. The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a device, adjustable according to the size of the child and allowing parents to adjust, relative to the child, the position of the diagonal of the belt, in order that it crosses at the level of its collarbone, whatever its size.
A cet effet, le dispositif selon l'invention comprend un support qui, saillant en avant du dossier à hauteur de la tête de l'enfant, d'une part, est lié au dossier du siège par des moyens permettant d'ajuster sa position, au moins verticalement par rapport à la taille de l'enfant, et, d'autre part, comporte sur sa face avant des moyens d'accrochage aptes à coopérer avec les moyens complémentaires d'une patte amovible de positionnement de la diagonale de la ceinture. To this end, the device according to the invention comprises a support which, projecting in front of the backrest at the height of the child's head, on the one hand, is linked to the seat backrest by means making it possible to adjust its position , at least vertically with respect to the size of the child, and, on the other hand, comprises on its front face attachment means able to cooperate with the complementary means of a removable tab for positioning the diagonal of the belt.
Ainsi, dès que l'enfant est assis, il est très aisé de régler verticalement la position du support, de manière que celui-ci soit hauteur de la tête de l'enfant, puis, après mise en place de la ceinture de sécurité, d'écarter la patte amovible pour faciliter le positionnement de la diagonale de la ceinture, et enfin, de refixer cette patte sur le support pour caler transversalement la diagonale dans la position idéale, compte tenu de la taille de l'enfant et de sa position transversale sur le siège. Thus, as soon as the child is seated, it is very easy to adjust the position of the support vertically, so that it is height of the child's head, then, after fitting the seat belt, to spread the removable tab to facilitate the positioning of the diagonal of the belt, and finally, to reattach this tab on the support to wedge the diagonal transversely in the ideal position, taking into account the size of the child and its position transverse on the seat.
Dans une forme d'exécution préférée de l'invention, le support est constitué par au moins l'une des deux oreillettes d'un repose-tête dont le dos de l'armature est muni de moyens de fixation réglables sur le dossier. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the support is constituted by at least one of the two atria of a headrest whose back of the frame is provided with adjustable fixing means on the backrest.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant à titre d'exemple non limitatif une forme d'exécution du dispositif dans le cas de sa combinaison avec un appui tête. The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing representing by way of nonlimiting example an embodiment of the device in the case of its combination with a headrest.
Figure 1 est une vue en perspective de l'ensemble du dispositif,
Figure 2 en est une vue de côté en coupe transversale montrant, à échelle agrandie, les moyens de fixation réglables du dispositif sur le siège,
Figure 3 est une vue partielle en perspective montrant, à échelle réduite, le dispositiflorsqu'il est mis en place sur un siège,
Figure 4 est une vue partielle, de face, montrant le dispositif en position d'utilisation.FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the entire device,
FIG. 2 is a side view in cross section showing, on an enlarged scale, the adjustable fixing means of the device on the seat,
FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view showing, on a reduced scale, the device when it is placed on a seat,
Figure 4 is a partial front view showing the device in the use position.
Comme indiqué précédemment, le dispositif selon l'invention est essentiellement constitué par un support désigné, de façon générale, par 2, et constitué, dans cette forme d'exécution, par au moins l'une et en l'occurrence par les deux oreillettes d'un appui tête pour enfant. As indicated previously, the device according to the invention is essentially constituted by a support designated, generally, by 2, and constituted, in this embodiment, by at least one and in this case by the two atria a headrest for children.
Comme le montre plus en détails, la figure 2, chacune des deux oreillettes est solidaire d'une armature dorsale 3 servant de support à un garnissage central 4 s'étendant verticalement entre ces deux oreillettes 2. As shown in more detail, in FIG. 2, each of the two atria is integral with a dorsal frame 3 serving as support for a central lining 4 extending vertically between these two atria 2.
L'armature 3, réalisée en matière synthétique ou en tout autre matériau rigide et résistant, est traversée localement par deux ouvertures 5a-5b pour le passage d'une sangle 6. L'extrémité supérieure 6a de cette sangle est munie d'une boucle 7 apte à coopérer avec son extrémité inférieure 6b. The frame 3, made of synthetic material or any other rigid and resistant material, is crossed locally by two openings 5a-5b for the passage of a strap 6. The upper end 6a of this strap is provided with a loop 7 able to cooperate with its lower end 6b.
Comme le montre la figure 3, cette sangle est destinée à.ceinturer le dossier 8 du siège et, par exemple, le dossier de la banquette arrière. As shown in Figure 3, this strap is intended to seal the backrest 8 of the seat and, for example, the backrest of the rear seat.
Grâce à son mode de montage, l'ensemble de l'appui tête peut être réglé verticalement dans le sens des flèches 9, afin que les oreillettes 2 soient sensiblement à hauteur de la tête de l'enfant. La sangle peut également être déplacée dans le sens de la flèche 10 pour ajuster la position transversale de l'appui tête, donc celle de l'enfant par rapport à la ceinture de sécurité. Thanks to its mounting mode, the entire headrest can be adjusted vertically in the direction of the arrows 9, so that the ear cups 2 are substantially at the height of the child's head. The strap can also be moved in the direction of arrow 10 to adjust the transverse position of the headrest, therefore that of the child relative to the seat belt.
Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, chacun des supports formés par les oreillettes de l'appui tête est muni, sur sa face avant, de moyens d'accrochage pour une patte d'attache 12a-12b. Dans la forme d'exécution représentée, ces moyens d'attache sont constitués par un tronçon 13 de velours à boucles s'étendant sur toute la longueur de la face avant de l'appui tête, tronçon coopérant avec un tronçon 14 de velours à crochets, fixé sur la face en vis à vis de la patte 12a-12b correspondante. According to another characteristic of the invention, each of the supports formed by the atria of the head support is provided, on its front face, with attachment means for a fastening tab 12a-12b. In the embodiment shown, these fastening means consist of a section 13 of velvet with loops extending over the entire length of the front face of the headrest, section cooperating with a section 14 of velvet with hooks , fixed on the face opposite the corresponding tab 12a-12b.
Chaque patte peut être entièrement amovible ou, comme montré à la figure 1, être liée à la têtière par l'une de ses extrémités, de manière à être imperdable. Each tab can be completely removable or, as shown in Figure 1, be linked to the headrest by one of its ends, so as to be captive.
Lorsque le dispositif a été correctement positionné par rapport au siège et par rapport à I'enfant, et que la ceinture de sécurité est accrochée pour maintenir l'enfant, il est procédé au réglage du positionnement de la diagonale 15 de cette ceinture, en retirant la patte 12 correspondante, en l'occurrence celle 12a, et en positionnement la diagonale de la ceinture, de manière qu'elle croise sur la clavicule de l'enfant, comme montré à la figure 4. A ce stade, il suffit de remettre en place la patte 12a pour emprisonner la diagonale au moyen des éléments 13-14 assurant l'accrochage de la patte sur le support-oreillette 2. When the device has been correctly positioned in relation to the seat and in relation to the child, and the seat belt is hung to hold the child, the position of the diagonal 15 of this belt is adjusted, by removing the corresponding tab 12, in this case that 12a, and in positioning the diagonal of the belt, so that it crosses over the collarbone of the child, as shown in FIG. 4. At this stage, it is enough to put back in place the tab 12a to trap the diagonal by means of the elements 13-14 ensuring the attachment of the tab on the headset support 2.
Grâce à cet agencement, la diagonale est parfaitement positionnée et assure une meilleure absorption de l'énergie cinétique au moment du choc, sans entraîner de séquelles sur l'enfant. Thanks to this arrangement, the diagonal is perfectly positioned and ensures better absorption of kinetic energy at the time of the shock, without causing sequelae on the child.
Le dispositif qui a été décrit ci-dessus dans le cadre de son application à une têtière peut bien entendu être utilisé indépendamment de celle-ci, pourvu que le support assurant la fixation de la sangle puisse être réglé au moins verticalement par rapport au siège. Ce réglage peut être assuré par tout moyen connu, et par exemple, au moyen des nappes de velours à crochets coopérant avec des nappes de velours à boucles rapportées sur le dossier du siège. The device which has been described above in the context of its application to a headrest can of course be used independently of the latter, provided that the support ensuring the fixing of the strap can be adjusted at least vertically relative to the seat. This adjustment can be ensured by any known means, and for example, by means of velvet plies with hooks cooperating with velvet plies with loops attached to the seat back.
