Abstract: A buckle for fastening a load strap, comprising a buckle frame, a crossbar extending between side arms of the frame, and a pivotable cam arranged between the side arms. The crossbar forms part of a locking element, which is displaceable between a closed position, in which the crossbar extends between the side arms, and an open position, in which the crossbar is separated from at least one of the side arms, such that a load strap is laterally insertable between the cam and the crossbar. The displaceable locking element may provide great ease of access for laterally inserting a load strap. The integrity of the buckle frame is maintained, increasing the stiffness of the buckle and its ability to withstand tension from a load strap.

Abstract: A child car seat includes a base and a seat pivotally disposed on the base such that the seat may pivot between a utilization position, where the seat faces a road, and an installation position, where the seat is turned toward a door of the vehicle. The seat includes a first locking element disposed on a vertical part of the base and a second locking element disposed on the backrest. The first locking element comprises a frontal guiding surface and a lateral guiding surface and the second locking element comprises a mobile part that interacts with the frontal guiding surface. The frontal and lateral guiding surfaces cause the first and second locking elements to engage in a locked position as the seat is moved to the utilization position. The first and second locking elements are in an unlocked position as the seat is moved to the installation positional.

Abstract: A child car seat includes a base and a backrest. The seat is pivotally disposed on the base and may pivot between a utilization position, where the seat faces a road, and an installation position, where the seat is turned toward a door of the vehicle. The seat includes a first locking element disposed on the backrest at a portion of the backrest adapted to abut against a backrest of the vehicle seat and a second locking element disposed on a vertical part of the base. The first locking element includes a mobile hook and a latch to engage the mobile hook. The mobile hook and the latch are locked together in a locked position as the seat is moved to the utilization position. The mobile hook and the latch are disengaged in an unlocked position as the seat is moved to the installation position.

Abstract: The invention concerns a child car seat, comprising a base (12, 31, 604, 72) and a seat (11) pivoting in relation to said base (12, 31, 604, 72) so as to assume at least two positions: an utilisation position (facing the road), in which a locking element (14, 34, 601, 73) affixed to the upper part of backrest (111, 33, 602, 74) of said seat (11) and a locking element (21, 32, 603, 71) affixed to said base (12, 31, 604, 72) are locked at least one installation position (facing the car door), in which said locking elements are unlocked. According to the invention, the first of said locking elements (32, 601, 71) comprising at least two guiding surfaces (325, 6011, 715, 716, 321, 322, 323, 324, 6012, 6013, 711, 712) configured so as to bring said locking elements into the locked position as soon as said seat (11) is in said utilisation position.

Abstract: The invention concerns a child car seat, comprising a base (12, 201) and a seat (11, 91) pivoting in relation to said base (12, 201) in such as way as to assume at least two positions: an utilisation position (facing the road), in which a locking element (14, 203) affixed to the upper part of the backrest of said seat (11) and a locking element (21, 202) affixed to said base (12, 201) are locked together at least one installation position (facing a door), in which said locking elements (14, 203, 21, 202) are unlocked.

Abstract: A child car seat is provided, which comprises a swivel seating part assembled on a fixed base so that the seat can be orientated according to two positions, one forward facing and the other facing the side door, and disengaging return means which, when engaged, act on a plate connected to said seat so as to return the latter to said forward facing position.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cassette for coiling at least one optical fiber provided with a splice protection, in which said optical fiber is to be wound in such a manner as to fit closely against an inside peripheral wall of said cassette, said cassette being provided with two entry points in the vicinity of said inside peripheral wall to enable two portions of said optical fiber situated on either side of said splice protection to penetrate into said cassette. According to the invention, said entry points are provided with guide means so that said two portions wind in the same direction, and said splice protection takes up a non-predetermined position in said cassette. The present invention is more particularly adapted to coiling a flat optical fiber ribbon having a splice.

Abstract: This invention relates to a child's car seat designed to be fixed to a vehicle seat using at least one safety belt strap and comprising means of increasing the tension in the said strap, wherein it comprises at least one moving part with at least one support surface for the said strap and means of actuation acting on the said moving part so as to move the part between a released position and a tensioning position, in which the path of the said strap is lengthened and therefore its tension is increased, the relative positions of the said actuation means and the said moving part being such that the said actuation means are subjected to a force exerted by the said moving part that tends to oppose the said actuation means from returning to the said released position.
