  • the present invention relates to child safety seats generally, and more particularly to a child safety seat mounting apparatus which provides a rotational capability of the seat while in a mounted and secured condition, and which incorporates a retractable tie-down safety strap system in the seat structure.
  • infant and child vehicular safety seats have become widely available since legislation was passed in the United States making use of such safety seats mandatory in the automotive transportation of infants and small children.
  • the tremendous demand for vehicular safety seats has resulted in continual refinements and improvements to initial designs.
  • One such improvement is the adoption of standardized seat sizing for enhanced modularity and portability of such seats for use in applications outside the automobile.
  • conventional infant vehicular safety seats typically are configured so as to be removably mountable to a base member that is secured in place in the respective vehicle via seat belts or other latch means, as well as to strollers and the like.
  • vehicular safety seats incorporate a distinct base unit that is intended to remain securely positioned in the vehicle while the seat element may be selectively secured thereto.
  • the seat element itself therefore, may be utilized as a child carrying apparatus, and used alone or in combination with mating base structures such as a vehicular base unit, a stroller, a shopping cart, or the like. Such a feature adds significant utility to child safety seats.
  • rotatable vehicular safety seats proposed to date, however, comprise relatively complex assemblies that are expensive to manufacture. Typically, such assemblies require uniquely manufactured components to operate as designed. Moreover, such components fail to provide compatibility to conventional systems.

  • the interface structure also includes a second guide structure on the lower surface thereof that is matingly engageable with the first guide element such that relative rotational motion between the interface structure and the base structure, while the first and second guide elements are operably engaged with one another, causes the interface structure to progressively displace toward the front end of the base structure.
  • the child safety seat of the present invention includes a retractable harnessing apparatus for securing the child safety seat to a vehicular seat, with the retractable harnessing apparatus having a safety strap that is retractably extended out from a strap housing.
  • the retractable harnessing apparatus is preferably integrally mounted within the child safety seat, and includes a locking mechanism for responsively locking the safety strap in a fixed degree of extension from the housing upon a sudden force urging the safety strap out from the housing.

  • safety strap 224 is preferably mounted in housing 222 so as to be relatively freely extensible and retractable therefrom, even while attachment device 226 is operably secured to an anchoring element in the corresponding vehicle.
  • Such a relatively free extensibility and retractability characteristic of safety strap 224 enables the user to operable secure attachment device 226 to a corresponding LATCH-type element without time-consuming manual adjustment to a fixed length of safety strap 224.
  • the relatively free extensibility and retractability characteristic of safety strap 224 enables seat 12 to be operably secured to a rotatable mounting apparatus that provides for the operable rotation of seat 12 while secured to the corresponding vehicular seat.
  • safety seat 12 may be rotated about a plane defined by seat portion 15 thereof without having to disengage safety strap 224 from respective anchoring elements in the corresponding vehicular seat.

  • Safety strap guide 252 includes an at least partially enclosed channel 254 extending from bottom end 256 to a position adjacent top end 258, which channel 254 is sized and configured to receive safety strap 224 therethrough. Accordingly, safety strap guide 252 retains safety strap 224 in a predefined orientation with respect to front surface 11 of seatback 13.

Since first and second lock arms 44, 48 are anchored to base portion 14 at respective pivot points 50, 52, biasing motion transmitted to first and second lock arms 44, 48 via coupling bodies 62, 64 results in a pivoting of respective lock arms 44, 48 about pivot points 50, 52.
  • first and second lock arms 44, 48 are naturally urged by biasing means 60 toward one another and ultimately into contact with one another.
  • respective position retainers 72, 74 may be provided in the present invention.

  • Manual release unit 68 includes an actuator 69 that is coupled to a platform portion 70 thereof through a slot in front end 22 of base portion 14.
  • Platform portion 70 is preferably configured to apply compressive forces to biasing means 60 upon actuation of actuator 69.
  • actuator 69 is a handle that may be pulled outwardly from base portion 14 by a user, which pulling action correspondingly moves platform portion 70 in a direction toward front end 22 of base portion 14, thereby compressing biasing means 60 so as to cause pivoting motion to first and second lock arms 44, 48.
  • first and second lock arms 44, 48 moves respective distal ends 54, 56 thereof away from one another, thereby releasing the lock established when distal end 54, 56 of first and second lock arms 44, 48 are in contact with one another.
  • the present invention contemplates a number of configurational variants to releasable lock apparatus 42, so long as such an apparatus provides a similar functionality to that described above.
  • releasable lock apparatus 42 may include only a single pivoting lock arm that extends across lateral axis "B" of aperture 34 when in a fully biased orientation.
  • a perspective top view of interface portion 16 is illustrated in Figure 5.
  • Upper surface 112 of interface portion 16 is preferably specifically configured to matingly engage with conventional vehicular child safety seats in either a forward or rearwardly-facing orientation.
  • intermediate ridge 114 disposed on upper surface 112 is configured to operably receive a clamping portion provided on the bottom sides of conventional vehicular child safety seats.
  • interface portion 16 acts as a universal receiving platform upon which conventional child safety seats may be operably secured.
  • a bottom view of interface portion 16 is shown in Figure 6 having a mating protrusion 122 extending from lower surface 114 of interface portion 16.
  • Mating protrusion 122 is preferably sized and configured to operably engage with aperture 34 by extending therein when interface portion 16 is aligned in superimposed and adjacent relationship with base portion 14. As so aligned, mating protrusion 122 is configured for slidable and rotatable engagement with aperture 34. Accordingly, the diameter of mating protrusion 122 is similar to, but slightly smaller than, lateral axis "B" of aperture 34.
  • mating protrusion 122 only has freedom to move along longitudinal axis "A", as well as the freedom to rotate within aperture 34 when not locked in place by locking mechanism 42.
  • Lower surface 114 of interface portion 16 further includes a second guide utility in the form of channel 128 that is configured to matingly engage with first guide means 38 on upper surface 20 of base portion 14.
  • first guide means 38 When first guide means 38 is in an engaged relationship within channel 128, rotation of interface portion 16 with respect to base portion 14 causes first guide means 38 to travel within channel 128.
  • rotational motion between interface portion 16 and base portion 14, while in an engaged relationship, causes interface portion 16 to progressively displace toward front end 22 of base portion 14. Such displacement is a direct consequence of the two- dimensional parabolic shape of channel 128.
  • FIGS 7 and 8 illustrate a top view and a bottom view, respectively, of interface portion 16 in engaged relationship with base portion 14.
  • a detachable flanged or cap member 130 is preferably removably securable to distal end 123 of mating protrusion 122, with flanged member 130 having a diameter that is larger than lateral axis "B" of aperture 34.
  • flanged member 130 may selectively be secured to mating protrusion 122 from the underside of base portion 14 such that flanged member 130 retains interface portion 16 in juxtaposition with base portion 14 by operably contacting lower surface 21 of base portion 14.
  • interface portion 16 remains rotatably and slidably coupled to base portion 14. So long as flanged member 130 is selectively secured to distal end 123 of mating protrusion 122, interface portion 16 is held in adjacent engagement with base portion 14.
  • interface portion 16 With flanged member 130 secured to mating protrusion 122, interface portion 16 is positioned with respect to base portion 14 as is shown in Figures 7-8. With releasable lock mechanism 42 being in a fully biased orientation, or locked position, respective distal ends 54, 56 of lock arms 44, 48 bear against mating protrusion 122 and retainably secure mating protrusion 122 between lock arms 44, 48 and rear end 35 of aperture 34. This relative orientation between interface portion 16 and base portion 14 is a "locked" position.
  • Releasable lock mechanism 42 acts to retain the locked position of interface portion 16 on base portion 14 through the configuration of first and second lock arms 44, 48, in that force imparted on distal ends 54, 56 thereof by mating protrusion 122 acts to increase the closing pressure asserted at distal ends 54, 56 of first and second lock arms 44, 48.
  • respective distal ends 54, 56 are tapered so that force directed in a direction toward front end 22 of base portion 14 enhances a rotational force generated by biasing means 60 in a locking or closing direction. Accordingly, mating protrusion 122 is maintained in a locked position so long as releasable locking mechanism 42 is not released through the actuation of handle 69.
  • first guide means 38 and channel 128 are such that when interface portion 16 is in the locked position, first guide means 38 is disposed at a front end 131 of radial portion 132 of channel 128. Accordingly, the lateral walls of channel 128 at end 131 enclose first guide means 38 on three sides, thereby preventing rotational movement of interface portion 16 with respect to base portion 14. The locked position, therefore, retains interface portion 16 in a stationary and fixed relationship with base portion 14.
  • mating protrusion 122 becomes free to slidably move within aperture 34 toward front end 22 of base portion 14.
  • interface portion 16 is slid forward with respect to base portion 14, such that mating protrusion 122 slidably moves within aperture 34 toward front end 36 of aperture 34.
  • first guide means 38 correspondingly moves along radial portion 132 of channel 128 toward apex 134.
  • first guide means 38 is moved to a position corresponding to apex 134 of channel 128, rotation of interface portion 16 with respect to base portion 14 may be accomplished, as first guide means 38 selectively slidably moves toward one of distal ends 136, 138 of channel 128. Since the above described movement is accomplished between interface portion 16 and base portion 14 while engaged through flanged member 130, the child safety seat need not be removed from interface portion 16 during the sliding and rotating procedures.
  • the child is transported in the safety seat while interface portion 16 is in a locked position with respect to base portion 14, with such a locked position being selectively deactivated through actuation of handle 69 such that interface portion 16, with the child safety seat securely attached thereto, may be rotated into a position convenient for egress and ingress to the seat.
  • channel 128 is preferably configured in a substantially parabolic shape such that rotation of interface portion 16 with respect to base portion 14 causes the corner of interface portion 16 nearest to the automobile seat during such rotation to correspondingly displace forwardly so as to prevent interference between the attached child safety seat and the vehicle seat .
  • channel 128 A variety of configurations for channel 128 are contemplated by the present invention, with the parabolic shape illustrated in Figure 6 being a preferred example for desirably guiding interface portion 16 along with the attached child safety seat during rotation of the child seat with respect to base portion 14.
  • the lock/unlock and sliding and rotational procedures are particularly useful when the child safety seat is maintained in a secured engaged relationship with interface portion 16.
  • such motions and permutations may be performed without the child safety seat being engaged with interface portion 16, as desired.
  • interface portion 16 and base portion 14 are fabricated from polymeric materials such as ABS or high-density polypropylene.
  • Safety retention features 152 are preferably configured and spaced from upper surface 20 of base portion 14 so as to operably grasp interface portion 16. In such a manner, safety retention features 152 act to further operably retain interface portion 16 in a secure adjacent relationship with base portion 14.
  • safety retention features 152 preferably assist in clamping the rear end of interface portion 16 down to base portion 14, and prevent undesired lifting or disengagement of interface portion 16 from base portion 14 in the event of a substantial lifting force upon interface portion 16, such as in the event of a vehicular accident wherein the weight of the child safety seat carries sufficient momentum so as to act to lift interface portion 16 from base portion 14.
  • safety retention features 152 preferably operably retain interface portion 16 in a desired engaged relationship with base portion 14, even in the event of a relatively large disengaging force applied.
  • safety retention features 152 are integrally formed with base portion 14.
  • safety retention features 152 are co-molded with base portion 14.
  • FIGs 5 and 7 show anchoring means 172 extending upwardly from interface portion 16, with such anchoring means 172 each including at least one tie aperture 174 disposed therethrough and in a portion thereof above upper surface 112 of interface portion 16.
