Moreover, the operating member 323 protrudes out of the lower base 22 for operation purpose.
Referring to FIGs. 10 and 11, for further design in this embodiment, a lock hook 109 is disposed at a back of the seat body 10 and a lock hole 209 (as shown in FIG. 3) is formed on an upper surface of the upper base 21 and used for engaging the lock hook 109 so as to strengthen the conneotion between the seat body 10 and the base 20. Anendof the operating member 323 (e.g. button), which is far away from the other end pivotally connected to the rod member 321, abuts against the lock hook 109. When the user presses the operating member 323 in the arrow direction F shown in FIG. 10, the operating member 323 pushes the lock hook 109 simultaneously so as to disengage the lock hook 109 from the upper base 21.
Referring to FIGs. 10, 12A and 12B, the engagement state between the seat body 10 and the base 20 of the invention is further described in the following.
When the user wants to install the seat body 10 on the base 20, he or she can exert pressure on the seat body 10 downward.
The bottom of the seat body 10 will pivot inwardly due to an inclined surface 310a of the engaging member 310 such that four engaging holes 101 of the seat body 10 are engaged with four engaging members 310 of the upper base 21, respectively.
At the same time, the lock hook 109 of the seat body 10 is engaged and locked with the lock hole 209 of the upper base 21. Conseguently, the seat body 10 is assembled to the base completely.
The engagement state between the seat body 10 and the base is shown in FIG. 12A. When the user wants to detach the seat body 10 from the base 20, he or she has to press the operating member 323 in the arrow direction F shown in FIG. 10, the operating member 323 will push the lock hook 109 so as to disengage the lock hook 109 from the upper base 21 and the operating member 323 will pivot on the pivot 3232 so as to drive the rod member 321 to move toward the operating member 323. Each of the driving members 322 is guided by the driving inclined surface 3210 correspondingly to move inwardly during movement of the rod member 321. When each of the driving members 322 is moving inwardly, each of the engaging members 310, which is pivotally connected to the driving member 322, will pivot on the first pivot 3110 inwardly until each of the engaging members 310 is disengaged from each of the engaging holes 101. Consequently, the seat body 10 is disengaged from the base 20. The disengagement state between the seat body and the base 20 is shown in FIG. l2B. It is reasonably expected that when the force F disappears, the driving member 322 will drive the engaging member 310 back to the original position by the resilient member 330.
Compared with the prior art, the invention provides the connecting device disposed between the seat body and the base of the child safety seat and used for engaging the seat body and the base with each other or disengaging the seat body and the base from each other. The connecting device comprises the engaging assembly disposed on the base and the rod driving assembly. The engaging assembly comprises a plurality of engaging members engaged with a plurality of engaging holes formed on the bottom of the seat body. When a user wants to install the child safety seat onto a vehicle seat, he or she only has to put the seat body onto the base and engages the engaging holes on the bottom of the seat body with the engaging members of the connecting device fixed on the base. On the other hand, when the user wants to detach the child safety seat from the vehicle seat, he or she can operate the rod driving assembly reversely to disengage the engaging members from the engaging holes so as to disengage the seat body from the base. The aforesaid operation is very simple and oonvenient for the user. Furthermore, since the seat body is engaged with the base by four engaging members and four engaging holes, the number of connecting points of the invention is more than the prior art with two or three connecting points. Accordingly, the connection between the seat body and the base is stronger than the prior art.
Moreover, for further design, there is a lock hock disposed at the back of the seat body and the lock hock can be engaged with the lock hole formed on the upper surface of the base so as to strengthen the connection between the seat body and the base.
Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention.
Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the mates and bounds of the appended claims.
