INFANT/CHILD ANTI-ABANDONMENT SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES AND PROCESS FOR SIGNALING AN INFANT/CHILD INSIDE A VEHICLE
The present invention relates to an anti-abandonment system comprising: a first sensor (2) associable with a restraining device (R) placed in the vehicle, a second sensor (3) associable with a fastening tab or with a fastening buckle of a safety belt of the vehicle. The anti-abandonment system comprises a control unit connected to the first and second sensors and configured to perform a control procedure comprising the steps of: determining, as a function of the signal emitted by the first sensor, the presence of a child and/or an infant on the restraining device; determining, as a function of the signal emitted by the second sensor, a fastened or unfastened condition of the safety belt, defining an alarm condition in the event that the control unit determines the presence of a child and/or an infant on the restraining device and at the same time the unfastened condition of the safety belt. The present invention also regards a process for warning of a potentially hazardous situation relative to the presence of an infant/child inside a vehicle.
BELT BUCKLE FOR A SAFETY BELT IN A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
The invention is related to a buckle housing (1; 1′) for a safety belt in a child safety seat. The buckle housing (1; 1′) comprises a recess (2; 2′) adapted to receive a tongue (3; 3′) of the safety belt, a magnet (4; 4′) 5 arranged within the housing (1; 1′) to be movable between a first position (P1) and a second position (P2) thereof, and a magnet sensor (5; 5′) arranged in the housing (1, 1′) and adapted to detect when the magnet (4, 4′) is in the second position (P2). The invention also relates to a method for indicating the presence of a tongue (3; 3′) in a belt buckle housing (1; 1′).
SAFETY BELT CONNECTING STRUCTURE AND CHILD SAFETY SEAT
A safety belt connecting structure includes first and second shoulder belts, and an adjusting belt. The first and second shoulder belts have corresponding first and second shoulder belt coupling ends and first and second shoulder belt connecting end, and the first shoulder belt engaging end is coupled to a facility where the safety belt connecting structure is installed. The second shoulder belt coupling end is coupled to the facility. The adjusting belt has an adjusting belt connecting end and an adjusting belt adjusting end. The adjusting belt connecting end is connected with the first and second shoulder belt connecting ends, and the adjusting belt adjusting end is adjustably fixed with a positioning portion on the facility, so that an acting length of the safety belt connecting structure with respect to the facility is adjustable by adjusting a position of the adjusting belt with respect to the positioning portion.
Child restraint base and child restraint system
A child restraint base adapted for a child restraint carrier includes a base body for mounting the child restraint carrier, a first panel component, a second panel component, an anchor belt and a third panel component. The first panel component and the second panel component are disposed on the base body and spaced from each other. A first through slot is formed between the first panel component and the base body. A second through slot is formed between the second panel component and the base body. The anchor belt passes through the first through slot and the second through slot and is slidable between an in-use position and a stored position. The third panel component is disposed between the first panel component and the second panel component and pivotable between an opened position and a closed position for tensioning the anchor belt to remove slack from the anchor belt.
Child safety seat with a motorized harness belt tensioner
The invention relates to a child safety seat (100) comprising an integral harness belt (102) for restraining a child in the child safety seat (100), a belt tension monitor (106) adapted for monitoring a belt tension acting on the harness belt (102), a motorized harness belt tensioner (104) comprising a tensioning element (114) driven by an electromechanical actuator (122) and adapted for adjusting the belt tension acting on the harness belt (102), and a controller adapted for controlling the motorized harness belt tensioner (104) to adjust the belt tension to match a first predefined belt tension and for monitoring the resulting belt tension using the belt tension monitor (106).
Lateral protecting mechanism and child restraint system therewith
A lateral protecting mechanism adapted for a child carrier is provided and includes a protecting block, a locking component, a driving component and an operating component. The protecting block is pivotally disposed a lateral portion of the child carrier. The locking component is slidably disposed on the lateral portion of the child carrier and configured to slide to abut against the protecting block for restraining a pivoting movement of the protecting block. The driving component is located at a position corresponding to the locking component for driving the locking component to slide to abut against the protecting block for restraining the pivoting movement of the protecting block. The operating component is coupled to the driving component for driving the driving component to pivot to drive the locking component to abut against the protecting block when the operating component is operated. Besides, a related child restraint system is provided.
SYSTEMS, APPARATUSES, AND METHODS FOR A CONVERTIBLE CHILD CAR SEAT
An apparatus for seating a child in a vehicle may include a seat, a backrest coupled to the seat at an angle, and an upper support movably coupled to the backrest. The upper support is configured to move relative to the backrest between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The upper support may be non-load bearing. The apparatus may further include a rethread harness system. A method of adjusting a children's car seat may include removing a locking component from a first receiving loop. The method may further include sliding a non-load bearing upper support along a backrest of the children's car seat. The method may further include inserting the locking component into a second receiving loop.
Seating device
A seating device includes a headrest movably connected to a seat body. An adjustment mechanism is provided to adjust the position of the headrest relative to the seat body. An operating unit has a driving member to actuate the adjustment mechanism, and a handle portion bending from the driving member. The driving member is movable between non-operative and operative positions. In the non-operative position, the handle portion abuts against the headrest, and the driving member is inoperative to actuate the adjustment mechanism. In the operative position, the handle portion protrudes outward from the headrest, and the driving member is able to actuate the adjustment mechanism.
CHILD SAFETY SEAT
The present disclosure relates to a child safety seat. The child safety seat includes: a seat base defining a receiving groove on a front edge thereof; a buckle connected to the seat base through a crotch belt, and a shape of the buckle being matched with the receiving groove; and a seat cushion covering on the seat base and defining a slot to allow the buckle to pass through. When the buckle is no longer used, the buckle can be received in the receiving groove without removing the buckle, which does not affect the normal use of the seat base, and improves the convenience of using the child safety seat for users.
