Description

[0075] The invention is described below on the basis of an embodiment example, which is explained in more detail with reference to the Figures. These show:

[0076] FIG. 1a schematic (partly highly schematic) representation of a child holding device according to the invention in a first state; and

[0077] FIG. 2 the child holding device according to FIG. 1 in a second state.

[0078] In the following description, the same reference numbers are used for identical parts and parts with the same effect.

[0079] FIG. 1 shows a child holding device 9 with an actuating device 10 (shown only schematically) for actuating a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism in FIG. 1 is in the locked state. A force transmission means 21 is connected at one end to a connecting device (connecting element) 22. The connecting device 22 is in (direct) connection with a first drive device (a first drive element) 23 or is fixedly connected to the first drive device 23.

[0080] The first 23 and a second 24 drive device are guided in a common guiding means (common guide element) 26, which can be subdivided into a first guiding means 26a for the first drive device 23 and a second guiding means 26b for the second drive device 24. First guiding means 26a and second guiding means 26b can also (not shown) be designed as separate elements, i.e. a first guide element and a second guide element.

[0081] The connecting device 22 is connected to a first end of a rotating element (pivot joint) 25 by a first bearing device (bearing element) 221 and a first recess (guide structure or guide slot) 252a. The recess 252a allows movement of the first bearing device 221 within the recess 252a.

[0082] The rotating element (swivel joint) 25 is rotatably mounted in a stationary manner relative to a second guiding means at a pivot point 251 and can rotate about the latter.

[0083] Another end of the rotary element 25 is connected to a second drive device (drive element) 24 by a second bearing device (bearing element) 241 and another recess (guide structure or guide slot) 252b. Also, the second recess 252b allows movement of the bearing means 221 within the second recess 252b.

[0084] The first drive device 23 and the second drive device 24 are (fixedly) connected by latches 28. By means of a resilient means 262, which is mounted on a bearing block 261, the mechanism can be held in the locked state. The first drive device 23 and the second drive device 24 and their latches 28 are pressed into locking position by a spring force.

[0085] FIG. 2 shows the locking mechanism in the non-locking state. By pulling a force transmission means 21 and thus a connecting device 22, against the spring force of the elastic means 262, the rotating element 25 rotates about the pivot point 251 and thereby pulls on the second drive device 24. The first drive device 23 is in (direct) connection with the connecting device 22. As a result, the first drive device 23 and the second drive device 24 are pulled towards the center and thus the latches 28 are released.

[0086] At this point it should be pointed out that all the parts described above, taken individually and in any combination, in particular the details shown in the drawings, are claimed to be essential to the invention. Modifications thereof are familiar to those skilled in the art.
