11383623 · 2022-07-12 · ·

A support platform for a child car seat includes a carrier base configured to support a child car seat and a load leg pivotally attached to the carrier base about a hinge point to allow angular displacement between the load leg and the carrier base. The load leg includes a leg member having a first end pivotally connected to the carrier base at the hinge point, and a foot extending from a second end of the leg member and having a bottom surface configured to frictionally engage a floor of the vehicle at a contact point defined along the foot. A leg axis through the hinge point of the load leg and the contact point of the foot defines a load leg angle of between substantially 10° and substantially 25° relative to an axis extending substantially perpendicular to the floor of the vehicle.

METHODS, APPARATUS AND SYSTEMS FOR SECURING AN INFANT CAR SEAT TO A VEHICLE SEAT WITH A TIGHT FIT AND WITHOUT USING A DETACHABLE VEHICLE INSTALLATION BASE OR A VEHICLE SEAT BELT, AND RIDE-HAILING METHODS RELATING TO SAME

An infant car seat system includes an infant car seat with an integrated anchor system to conveniently secure the infant car seat to a vehicle seat, without using a detachable vehicle installation base and without using a vehicle seat belt. The anchor system is coupled to the infant car seat at one or more mechanical constraining points positioned based on the center of gravity of the infant car seat and respective anchor points at which the anchor system engages with vehicle lower anchors. The anchor system may be a rigid anchor system or a belted anchor system, and the system may include one or more of a release actuator for a quick disconnect mechanism, an adjustment foot to accommodate different vehicle seats and ensure a tight fit, and/or one or more storage compartments to store parts of the anchor system when unused.

Top rod adjusting mechanism and child safety seat therewith
11390193 · 2022-07-19 · ·

A top rod adjusting mechanism is disposed between a base and a top rod of a child safety seat. The top rod adjusting mechanism includes a transverse frame, a threaded rod and a nut. The transverse frame is movably disposed on the base and installed on the top rod. The threaded rod rotatably passes through one of the transverse frame and the base in axial limitation. The nut is installed on the other of the transverse frame and the base and threadedly sleeved on the threaded rod. When the threaded rod and the nut rotate relative to each other to generate relative sliding movement, the transverse frame drives the top rod to move relative to the base. The top rod adjusting mechanism has advantages of simple structure and easy operation.

VEHICLE-MOUNTABLE CHILD SAFETY SEAT ASSEMBLY
20220281364 · 2022-09-08 ·

A vehicle-mountable child safety seat assembly is disclosed. The seat assembly includes a safety seat and a prop assembly mounted with respect to the safety seat. The prop assembly has a stowed position and a safely deployed position. The prop assembly includes: a leg assembly; a foot assembly mounted to the leg assembly; and a first sensor, for example a tilt sensor, for sensing when the prop assembly is not in the stowed position. A second sensor for sensing when the prop assembly is not in the safely deployed position is also provided. A warning system is also disclosed. The warning system changes from a timing state to the warning state if the second sensor senses that the prop assembly is not in its safely deployed position by a pre-determined time after the change from a standby state to a timing state.
