Definitions

  • Ross ABSTRACT A body support consisting of a seat and a back has a pair of flexible, straplike members anchored to it at the parting line between its seat and back surfaces, one member being tensioned to lie flat against one surface (e.g. that of the back) and having an exposed face provided with gripping elements, such-as the loops or hooks of a Velcro fastener, engageable with complementary elements on the free end of the other member when the latter is slung about an object to be secured to the seat.
  • gripping elements such-as the loops or hooks of a Velcro fastener
  • Patented Nov. 17, 1970 Sheet 1 012 Max DEFLEUR Inventor gear! 9 Attorney Patented Nov. 17, 1970 Sheet 2 of 2 Max DEFLEUR Inventor Kari 730 t orney 1 DEVICE FOR FASTENING-OBJECTS TO A SEAT It is known that any object laid on a movable seat, notably I an automobile seat, must be fastened thereto to prevent the object from being thrown forwards in case of sudden deceleration.
  • the device according to this invention for fastening objects to a body support including a seat and a backrest comprises a ing line between the seat and its back, and means adapted to vary the useful lengthof the strap surrounding partially or' completely the object'to be fastened.
  • the means for varying the strap length for anchoring at least one point of the strap to at least one point of the back or a member adjacent thereto.
  • This anchor point may be located on the above-mentioned line of intersection of the seat and th back, along the rear face ofthe back or alternately on thefront face thereof.
  • the anchoring means may consist of buttons (such as dome fasteners), clips, buckles, hooks, magnets, etc.
  • the strap itself may be of the self-fastening or self-anchoring type, such as the tapes and ribbons sold under the trademark Velcro".
  • the device comprises a belt extending vertically upwards from said line to the top of the back; if desired, this belt may extend further back along the rear face of the back.
  • this belt may also constitute an extension of the strap.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates in perspective view a seat in which no clearance is available between the seat proper and the back, in
  • FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 but concerning a seat wherein the fixed gend' of a strap can be inserted between h seat proper and the back;
  • FIG. 3 is .a similar view showing a modified embodiment
  • FIGS. 4and 5 are diagrams illustrating two special arrangements.
  • the device for fastening objects to a seat in accordance with my invention comprises a strap S secured by one end S, to a'point located in the vicinity of parting line L between the seat 1 and its back 2, and means adapted to permit theadjustment' of the useful length of the strap surrounding partially or totally the object O to be fastened.
  • a belt B extends vertically upwards along the back to constitute an extension of strap 5.
  • this belt being advantageously tensioned on the rear surface of back 2 by means of rubber cords 3 having their free ends attached to the nonillustrated cushioning springs on the underside of the seat (FIGS. 1 and 2) or to the opposite end of belt B (FIG. 3).
  • the free end of the strap may carry magnet buttons, fasteners, clips, etc. adapted to engageeither the belt of the seat back provided in turn with complementary elements, or such complementary elements disposed onthe rear face of the back.
  • a reverse arrangement may also be utilized wherein an end of the strap is secured to a point located near the parting line and its opposite end is anchored to the front portion of the seat.
  • the strap end and possibly the belt end is or are solid with a metal member inserted between the seat and the back and adapted to be anchored'to either of these in support portions.
  • a rigid or resilient transverse member is located along said parting line and secured to the seat'or the back by its ends.
  • the strap end is secured to the lower portion of the seat back or to the lower face of the seat proper (for example to the springs thereof) by means of elastic cords, thus keeping the straps under tension.
  • the strap may be disposed around the back and comprise means foranchoring the fixed strap end.
  • Velcro for the strap and/or the belt
  • this Velcro tape being disposed either longitudinallyas shown at 7 (strap) and 8 (belt) in Fig. 1, or transverselyon the strap and longitudinally on the belt (as shown at 7', 8 in FIG. 2), or transversely on the belt and longitudinally on the belt (7,8',FIG.3).
  • the strap S maycomprise a small anchor G engageable under the seat (FIG. -2). Besides, if desired, this small anchor G may be replaced by a set of hooks adapted to engage the springs under the seat.
  • thisstrap extending if desired beyond the line of intersection as shown notably in FIG. 3 or in FIG. 5, the strap shown in the latter FIG. being adapted to extend more or less under the seat I.
  • a-transverse member 4 secured to the seat or the backby its two ends4a and 4b must be disposed along the line L, this transverse member consisting for example of a metal by means of a strap by causing its two ends to pass -twice between the seat 1 and the back 2, and anchoring said ends to the back or to the seat for example by means of a yoke 5 and n spindle 6.
  • the belt B may also be disposed on the seat proper instead of being fastened to the back (as in FIG. 5).
  • a strap-winding winding device carried either by the back or by the seat may be utilized; in this case the strap end is secured to the other support portion (back or seat).
  • the strap secured with one end to the point located in the vicinity of the parting line has its free end anchored either to the back or to the seat.
  • l have provided a strapping device wherein two flexible elongate members B, S, adapted to lie flat against a horizontal seat surface and a substantially vertical back surface, cooperate to retain an object to be secured to the body support l, 2, one of these members (Le. the belt B in FIGS. 13) being held for this purpose against one surface by retaining means 3 so as to lie substantially perpendicular to the parting line L.
  • the Velcro fastener 7 (or 7'), 8 (or 8) consists, as is well known. ofa multiplicity of gripping elements in the form of coacting hooks and loops which are partly distributed over a substantial part of the length of the stationary member B, on an exposed face thereof.
  • a device for strapping objects to a body support having a first and a second portion adjoining each other substantially at right angles. said portion forming a horizontal seat surface
  • said second portion forming a substantially vertical back surface rising form said seat surface and defining a parting line therewith, comprising:
  • first and a second flexible elongate member secured to said body support at an anchor point near said parting line; retaining means for holding said first member substantially perpendicular to said parting line against one of said surfaces; first fastening means on an expose face ofsaid first member;
  • said retaining means comprises elastic tic mctms secured to the underside of said portion.
