  • Integrated child seat for an automobile seat
    Patent number: 6557936
    Abstract: An integrated child's seat (10) is provided for a motor vehicle seat. The child's seat (10) is displaceable between a low and an unfolded raised position. It has a base portion (12) and a support portion (14) which are pivotably connected by front and rear parallelogram arm devices (16, 18). A diagonal strut device (40) is linearly movably guided with a guide end portion (42) along a guide device (44) provided on the support portion (14) or on the front parallelogram arm device (16). The diagonal strut device (40) is pivotably connected with its second end portion (52) to the rear parallelogram arm device (18) by a pivotal connection (58). The rear parallelogram arm device (18) has a weak crash location (38) so that in the unfolded condition of the child's seat (10) with a corresponding weight on the support portion (14), the rear parallelogram arm device (18) buckles at the weak crash location (38) and the support portion (14) dips downwardly with its rear end part.
