A child safety seat having a base member for being mounted on a vehicle seat and secured in place in a conventional manner by lap and shoulder straps of the vehicle's adult seat belt. A child support in the child seat includes a squab attached to a base member and a back pivotally connected to the squab by a pivot axis. The base member has two L-shaped side members, each having a lap belt guide and a clampable shoulder belt guide between the pivot rod and upper bar.

A child safety seat comprises a seat body having a seat portion ( ), a backrest ( ) with an outwardly facing rear surface, and a support mechanism comprising an abutment member ( ) and a link ( ) having one end connected to the abutment member ( ) and another end pivotally connected to the outwardly facing rear surface. The abutment member ( ) is movable through a predetermined angle of greater than 90&deg; between a stowed position in which the link ( ) and the abutment member ( ) are parallel to and in close proximity to the outwardly facing rear surface and a deployed position in which at least one edge of the abutment member ( ) is held by the link ( ) in a position spaced apart from the outwardly facing rear surface. A limit device prevents angular movement of the link ( ) beyond the deployed position.

Child safety seat

A belt tensioner for safety belt arrangements in motor vehicles has a holder (11) on which are provided a belt winding reel (12) with a safety belt (13) coiled thereon, a blocking arrangement and an additional drive (15) connected via clutch (20) to the belt winding reel (12). The additional drive (15) contains a pressure source (16) which abruptly builds up a high pressure in a pressure chamber on being triggered and also contains a torque generating device (18) acted on by the pressure in the pressure chamber (17) and a drive shaft (19) connected to the latter. The drive shaft (19) is rotationally fixedly connectable to the belt winding reel (12) via the clutch (20). The torque generating device (18) includes a flexible draw band (21) which is secured at one end at a first mounting point (25) to the periphery of the drive shaft (19) or to the drive reel (22) concentrically mounted thereon and is partially wound onto the drive shaft (19), or onto the drive reel (22) and is secured at the other end, at a second mounting point (26) to the peripheral wall (30) of a band running chamber (23) within a housing (24). Pressure applied to the draw band causes belt tensioning movement of the drive shaft (19) or drive reel (22).
