  • Chest harness for use in a child restraint system
    Patent number: 5380067
    Abstract: A connector assembly includes a buckle member (46) which interconnects with a tongue member (48) to position shoulder belts relative to a child in a vehicle. An indicator (72) connected to the tongue member has a first portion (74) of red color and a second portion (76) of green color. The buckle member has an opening (100) through which the first and second portions of the indicator are exposed to view as the buckle and tongue members are interconnected. As the buckle and tongue members (46, 48) are interconnected, the first portion (74) of red color is initially exposed through the opening (100) and then the second portion (76) of green color is exposed through the opening to indicate that the buckle and tongue members are securely interconnected.
