Abstract: A child safety seat having a base member for being mounted on a vehicle seat and secured in place in a conventional manner by lap and shoulder straps of the vehicle's adult seat belt. A child support in the child seat includes a squab attached to a base member and a back pivotally connected to the squab by a pivot axis. The base member has two L-shaped side members, each having a lap belt guide and a clampable shoulder belt guide between the pivot rod and upper bar.

Abstract: A child safety seat comprises a base member 10 mounted on a vehicle seat 12 and secured in place in a conventional manner by the lap and shoulder portions 14 and 16 of the strap of the vehicle's adult seat belt. A child support in the child seat comprises a child support squab 18, which is attached to the base member 10, and a child support back 20, which is pivotally connected to the squab 18 about by a pivot axis 22. The base member 10 has two L-shaped side members 26 and 28. Each side member 26, 28 has a lap belt guide 34, 36 and clampable shoulder belt guide 38, 40 between the pivot rod 32 and the upper bar 30. The side members 26 and 28 are interconnected both by an upper bar 30 and by a pivot rod 32. A belt deflector 46 projects radially from its pivot rod 32 in a position just above the path of the lap strap 14 between the lap belt guides 34 and 36. A projection 48 extends rearwardly from the back of the child support back 20 to a position just above and in front of the belt deflector 46.

Abstract: A child safety seat comprises a seat body having a seat portion (12), a backrest (14) with an outwardly facing rear surface, and a support mechanism comprising an abutment member (24) and a link (32) having one end connected to the abutment member (24) and another end pivotally connected to the outwardly facing rear surface. The abutment member (24) is movable through a predetermined angle of greater than 90° between a stowed position in which the link (32) and the abutment member (24) are parallel to and in close proximity to the outwardly facing rear surface and a deployed position in which at least one edge of the abutment member (24) is held by the link (32) in a position spaced apart from the outwardly facing rear surface. A limit device prevents angular movement of the link (32) beyond the deployed position.

Abstract: A belt tensioner for safety belt arrangements in motor vehicles has a holder (11) on which are provided a belt winding reel (12) with a safety belt (13) coiled thereon, a blocking arrangement and an additional drive (15) connected via clutch (20) to the belt winding reel (12). The additional drive (15) contains a pressure source (16) which abruptly builds up a high pressure in a pressure chamber on being triggered and also contains a torque generating device (18) acted on by the pressure in the pressure chamber (17) and a drive shaft (19) connected to the latter. The drive shaft (19) is rotationally fixedly connectable to the belt winding reel (12) via the clutch (20).
