  • Publication number: 20120126597
    Abstract: An inertial lock system for use with an anchorage system for at least one vehicle child seat, the inertial lock system. The inertial lock system includes a retainer; an anchor movably connected to the retainer; at least one energy managing component connected between the retainer and the anchor biasing the anchor in a first direction capable of managing energy transmitted between the anchor and the retainer when the anchor is displaced in the direction opposite the first direction; a retention switch component selectively engageable with the anchor to limit the movement of the anchor in the first direction; and an inertial switch selectively operable in response to a predetermined deceleration of the retainer in the first direction to selectively release the retention switch and to thereby permit the at least one energy managing device to be displaced in the first direction.
