[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a child seat belt (safety belt) for an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventional automobile seat belts are designed for adults. Therefore, when used by a child with a short height, as shown in FIG. 8, the inclined portion b for obliquely supporting the chest area from the shoulder opening of the seat belt a is in a state of covering the face or neck of the child c, and is used. Not only is it difficult to do, but it is also extremely dangerous, especially if you wear it around your neck.

Also, since the seat d of the automobile is also formed widely for adults, the horizontal portion e of the seat belt a supporting the lower abdomen and waist of the seat belt a supports the child c in the lateral direction. Since the vehicle is incompletely held, there is a risk that the vehicle may be thrown laterally if it shakes laterally during driving or is strongly tilted laterally due to an impact.

Therefore, a chair exclusively for infants is currently proposed. Since this chair is used by fixing it to the seat d with a belt or the like, it is not only troublesome to attach and detach to and from the seat, but it is also troublesome to put an infant on and off the chair in a narrow car. It also takes time.

[Action]

 While letting the seat hang a child, the male type fastener inserted in the main belt is locked to the female type fastener fixed to the vehicle body. In this state, the tilted part of the main belt will cover the child's face or neck.Therefore, adjust the length of the auxiliary belt connected to both fixing parts fixed to the tilted part and the horizontal part to a shorter value. Lower the height of the slope and adjust it so that it extends from the child's shoulder to the chest.

Since the auxiliary belt connects the inclined portion and the horizontal portion of the main belt mounted on the front substantially rectangular shape on the side with a wide interval (the window side of the left seat), it supports the child laterally. Is performed by the above-mentioned auxiliary belt. Thus, a relatively large child can be secured to the seat by the main belt.

In the case of an infant, fixing brackets are attached to the left and right sides of the horizontal portion of the main belt, and the auxiliary belts are connected to each other and to the fixing brackets attached to the fixing brackets and the inclined portion. The three auxiliary belts are arranged in a substantially right-angled triangular shape on the front side. In this way, the slanted and horizontal parts of the main belt are turned around the back of the infant and the back of the waist, and among the three auxiliary belts, the slanted belt supports the shoulder to the chest and the horizontal belt lowers the abdomen, Support your lower back. Since the vertical belt supports the infant in the lateral direction, the three auxiliary belts can securely fix the infant to the seat.

Further, if the adult is fixed to the seat at the inclined portion and the horizontal portion of the main belt and the infant is fixed by the above two auxiliary belts, the adult can hold the infant while holding the sheet. It can be firmly fixed to the toe.

Each of them is supported, and one end 1a thereof is supported by the vehicle body so as to be capable of expanding and contracting in the length direction. This main belt 1 is formed for adults, and normally one end 1a side thereof is retracted into the vehicle body. When mounted, the main belt 1 is pulled out to mount the male locking tool 4 on the vehicle body 5 It is locked to a female locking device 6 fixed to the inner part of the seat, and it is worn diagonally from the shoulder to the chest of the person sitting on the seat 5, and it is also worn on the lower abdomen and the waist in a substantially horizontal direction. Is done.

Therefore, when the main belt 1 is worn, the slanted portion 1c shown by the chain double-dashed line in the figure, which supports from the shoulder to the chest, and the horizontal position 1d shown by the solid line in the figure, which supports the lower abdomen and the waist. Since the shape of the front is approximately rectangular and the position of the inclined portion 1c is too high for the child, the present invention makes it possible to adjust the above position according to the size of the child, and to secure the child firmly in the lateral direction. I can support it.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, one example of each of the fixing fittings 2, 2a, 2b is that one end of two belt holding members 7, 7a are pivotally attached to each other by a pin 8.

Thus, the child seat belt of the present invention having the above structure can be used as shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7. As shown in FIG. 5, the fixing fittings 2 and 2b are fixed to the inclined portion 1c and the horizontal portion 1d of the main belt 1, and the hooks 7e and 7e of the fittings 2 and 2b are hooked at the end of the auxiliary belt 3. Hang 10 and 12. At this time, the fixing brackets 2 and 2b are fixed to the side portion of the child A sitting on the seat 5 on the door side of the automobile (not shown), and the auxiliary belt 3 is used to incline the inclined portion of the main belt 1. The height of 1c is lowered from the position of the present invention shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure to the position shown by the solid line in the figure.

In this way, if the male type locking tool 4 inserted into the main belt 1 is locked to the female type locking tool (not shown) of the vehicle body, the inclined portion 1c can be hung from the shoulder opening of the child A to the chest. it can. On the other hand, the lower abdomen and waist of the child A are supported by the horizontal portion 1d. Since the auxiliary belt 3 functions to lower the height of the inclined portion 1c and to prevent the child A from moving laterally, such an example of use is applied to a child who has a certain height. It

In the example of use shown in FIG. 6, one fixing metal fitting 2 is provided on the inclined portion 1c of the main belt 1, and two fixing metal fittings 2a and 2b are provided on the horizontal portion 1d at appropriate lateral intervals. Then, the auxiliary belts 3, 3a, 3b are connected to the fixing fittings 2 and 2b, 2 and 2a, 2a and 2b, respectively, and the inclined portion 1c and the horizontal portion 1d of the main belt 1 are turned around the back of the child A. The auxiliary belt 3a supports the shoulder to the chest, and the auxiliary belt 3b supports the lower abdomen and the waist.

Therefore, in such a usage example, the auxiliary belt 3 is adjusted so that the auxiliary belt 3a can be obliquely covered from the shoulder opening of the child A to the chest, and the other auxiliary belt 3b can fix the auxiliary belt 3 in the lateral direction. This is especially convenient for small children.
