Abstract: A seating board includes a board portion having a first surface on which a child with a small body is to be seated, and a second surface on which a child with a body larger than the small body is to be seated, which is located on a side opposite to the first surface. Clamp arms are attached to the board portion for attaching the seating board to a seat portion of a child seat. When the seating board is detached from the child seat, the child seat becomes a state suitable for a child larger than the infant. In case the seating board is disposed directly on a vehicle seat, the seating board becomes suitable for a middle size child. Thus, the seating board can be used for child occupants with various sizes.

Abstract: A child seat capable of being easily and securely fixed to a vehicle seat. After placing the child seat on the vehicle seat and latching a tongue with a buckle, a belt is pulled by gripping a handle. Then, a lever of a tensioner is pivoted to increase the tension on the belt, thereby fixing the child seat. The tensioner includes two clamp portions. The belt is prevented from moving by the second clamp portion and the belt hung on a belt-hanging bar is pulled, thereby tightening the belt between the tensioner and the buckle.

Abstract: A buckle device for an infant restraining seat of the present invention includes: a frame member which has a base plate and side plates; an engaging member which is pivotally supported by supporting members formed in the side plates of the frame member and is capable of engaging a pair of tongue plates inserted into the buckle; and a blocking plate which is rotatably supported on the base plate of the frame member and has a blocking member for preventing the pivotal movement of the engaging member when the blocking plate rotates. When only one of the pair of tongue plates is inserted into the buckle, the blocking plate rotates by the insertion of the one of the tongue plates. The blocking member thereby prevents the pivotal movement of the engaging member so as to prevent engagement between the engaging member and the one of the tongue plates. Therefore, it can prevent the false latching between the tongue plates and the buckle.

Abstract: Low temperature fired ceramics are produced by a highly improved method, using a specially designed apparatus and the obtained ceramic products are very useful in various applications, such as electronic components, heat resistant articles, tablewares, kitchen utensils or decorative articles because of a combination of superior properties, particularly high heat resistance, high mechanical strength, low thermal expansion and low dielectric constant. In practicing the method, a low firable ceramic material is shaped into a green sheet and then converted to a dense fired ceramic product by rapid firing in an adequate air. In the firing step, the air feed ratio (the ratio of the quantity of feed of air to the theoretical quantity of air required for combustion) is controlled so as to be at least 1.5 thereby the aimed fired products can be obtained in a greatly reduced firing time, without causing deformation or warpage of the ceramics or ignition of the decomposition gases of a binder.
