The actuating component is driven to move into the accommodating space to contact the blocking component when the shoulder belt is pulled by external impact, and the blocking component is structurally deformed to reduce the external impact. The present invention can obviously decrease the impact energy transmitted from the vehicle safety seat to the passenger, so as to protect safety of the passenger. | 03-19-2015 |
20150091343 | SEAT BUFFERING DEVICE AND VEHICLE SAFETY SEAT HAVING THE SAME - A seat buffering device and a vehicle safety seat including the seat buffering device are provided. The seat buffering device is disposed on a base of the vehicle safety seat. The seat buffering device includes a reinforcing component and at least one concave structure. The reinforcing component is disposed inside the base, and the reinforcing component has a plurality of lateral surfaces. The at least one concave structure is formed on one of the plurality of lateral surfaces. The reinforcing component is adapted to be bent via the at least one concave structure when the base is impacted, so as to reduce impact force applied to the base. Buffering efficiency of the reinforcing component corresponds to the amount, the arrangement, and the angle of the concave structure. The plurality of concave structures is disposed on the same or different lateral surfaces of the reinforcing component in the interlaced arrangement. | 04-02-2015 |
20150091344 | ENERGY-DISSIPATION SYSTEM - A child restraint includes a juvenile vehicle seat and an energy-absorption apparatus coupled to the juvenile vehicle seat. The energy-absorption apparatus is configured to absorb external energy associated with an external impact force applied to the energy-absorption apparatus. | 04-02-2015 |
20150102644 | OCCUPANT SUPPORT SYSTEM - Human support systems for one or more of the safety, convenience, comfort of the user. | 04-16-2015 |
20150291065 | CHILD CAR SEAT HAVING ACTIVE PROTECTION MEANS - The present disclosure concerns a child car seat comprising an active protection system and a system for triggering the active protection system when needed. | 10-15-2015 |
20160001681 | CHILD SAFETY SEAT - A child safety seat with a seat region, a backrest and, if required, a headrest bordered laterally by side walls, in particular a child safety seat for babies or children up to 14 years, having a sitting/reclining shell with a head end and a foot end, which has raised side walls in side regions, wherein at least in the region of the side walls, at least one energy-absorbing measure is provided. The energy-absorbing measure is configured in the form of at least one energy-absorption unit arranged on a side wall of the seat region and/or the backrest and/or the headrest having deformation elements, in particular, deformation projections and/or recesses extending approximately perpendicularly and/or parallel to the extent of the side wall. | 01-07-2016 |
20160039319 | LATERAL PROTECTING MECHANISM AND CHILD SAFETY SEAT THEREWITH - A lateral protecting mechanism is disposed on a lateral wing of a child safety seat. The lateral protecting mechanism includes a lateral protecting block and a protecting component. An end of the lateral protecting block is pivoted to the lateral wing. The lateral protecting block is movable between a using position and a folding position. The protecting component is slidably disposed on the other end of the lateral protecting block. The protecting component protrudes from a side of the lateral protecting block and is located between the lateral wing and the lateral protecting block when the lateral protecting block rotates away from the lateral wing and is located at the using position, and the protecting component is received in the side of the lateral protecting block when the lateral protecting block rotates toward the lateral wing and is located at the folding position. | 02-11-2016 |
20160059749 | ENERGY-DISSIPATION SYSTEM - A child restraint includes a juvenile vehicle seat and an energy-absorption apparatus coupled to the juvenile vehicle seat. The energy-absorption apparatus is configured to absorb external energy associated with an external impact force applied to the energy-absorption apparatus. | 03-03-2016 |
20160082865 | CHILD SAFETY SEAT - A child safety seat includes a seat base, and a seat body assembly that is slidably coupled to the seat base. The seat base includes a bottom. The energy absorber is configured to translate front and rear portions of the seat body assembly substantially linearly towards the bottom and to reduce impact forces imposed on the seat body assembly during a deceleration of the child safety seat. | 03-24-2016 |
20160121764 | REAR FACING RIDE DOWN SAFETY SEAT - A safety seat includes a base unit adapted to be attached to the vehicle. The base unit includes a base body, and a base carriage coupled to the base body and moveable relative thereto from a resting position to a ride down position. Movement of the base carriage from the resting position to the ride down position is caused by a force acting on the base carriage that is above a prescribed threshold. A braking element is coupled to the base body and the base carriage, and is adapted to bias the base carriage toward the resting position. A seat unit is detachably engageable with the base carriage and defines a seat cavity sized and configured to receive the child. | 05-05-2016 |
