CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM WITH BELT TENSIONING MECHANISM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025309 titled 'CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM WITH BELT TENSIONING MECHANISM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a child seat that has a tensioning mechanism to secure it to a car seat using a seat belt. The child seat includes a base with a receiving region, and the tensioning mechanism consists of a bottom arm and a top arm that are pivotably attached to each other and to the base. The tensioning mechanism can be adjusted between two configurations, both of which create a tortuous, nonlinear belt pathway. In the first configuration, the tensioning mechanism receives a portion of the seat belt, and in the second configuration, it applies tension to that portion of the seat belt.

  • The child seat has a tensioning mechanism that secures it to a car seat using a seat belt.
  • The tensioning mechanism consists of a bottom arm and a top arm that are pivotably attached to each other and to the base of the child seat.
  • The tensioning mechanism can be adjusted between two configurations, both of which create a tortuous, nonlinear belt pathway.
  • In the first configuration, the tensioning mechanism receives a portion of the seat belt.
  • In the second configuration, the tensioning mechanism applies tension to the portion of the seat belt.

Potential Applications:

  • Child car seats
  • Automotive safety devices

Problems Solved:

  • Ensuring secure attachment of child car seats to car seats
  • Providing a tensioning mechanism that can adjust to different seat belt configurations

Benefits:

  • Enhanced safety for children in car seats
  • Easy and adjustable installation of child car seats
  • Compatibility with different seat belt configurations


Original Abstract Submitted

a child seat includes a tensioning mechanism that selectively applies tension to a seat belt to secure the child seat to a car seat. the child seat includes a base that defines a receiving region. the tensioning mechanism includes a bottom arm pivotably attached to the base within the receiving region and a top arm pivotably attached to the bottom arm. the tensioning mechanism is adjustable between a first configuration and a second configuration relative to the base. in both the first configuration and the second configuration, the tensioning mechanism defines a tortuous, nonlinear belt pathway. in the first configuration, the tensioning mechanism receives a portion of the seat belt, and in the second configuration, the tensioning mechanism applies tension to the portion of the seat belt.
