  • Publication number: 20230373363
    Abstract: The invention relates to a child seat, wherein the child seat comprises a main body for receiving a child and an impact shield for holding the child, wherein the child seat is configured such that a center of gravity of the child, at least in an initial state at the beginning of a sudden deceleration of the motor vehicle and/or at the beginning of a rotation of the child relative to the vehicle seat and/or at the beginning of a rotation of the child relative to the main body during a sudden deceleration of the motor vehicle, for example in the event of a frontal impact, is at least approximately at or below, preferably slightly below, a level at which a child rotation axis is located, about which rotation axis the child rotates with respect to the main body, as soon as the child starts to rotate with respect to the main body, and/or is at least approximately at or below, preferably slightly below, a level at which at least one impact shield rotation axis is located about which the impact shield can rotate wit

  • Patent number: 11465538
    Abstract: A child seat for mounting on a motor vehicle seat is comprised of at least one contact surface device for a child accommodated in the child seat, the contact surface device having at least a first section and a second section, the second section being transferable relative to the first section from a first position to a second position by the action of an at least partially outwardly directed force acting on the second section to damp deceleration of the child in the case of a displacement of the child towards the second section.

  • Patent number: 10625636
    Abstract: A device for attaching to a motor vehicle seat including a seat region and a back section, at least one shoulder strap, at least one retaining device for holding and/or deflecting the shoulder strap, and at least one force limiting means, which is designed such that the retaining device is transitioned from a first arrested position to a second arrested position upon exceeding a predetermined limit force exerted by the shoulder strap or by the shoulder straps on the retaining device in the event of an impact.
