Abstract
Abstract A tiltable child's seat of the type comprising a base frame with which there is pivotably associated the seat member by way of a mechanism which locks different tilting positions thereof, characterised in that said locking mechanism is highly simplified on comprising two rotating horizontal shafts (9,7) transversely mounted below the front portion of the seat member (1) and in the intermediate portion of the frame base (4), respectively, said shafts being connected together by two telescopic columns (8) which, with their extension or retraction raise or lower the front portion of the seat member (1) tilting it to a greater or lesser extent on rotating about the points (2) of its back rest in the ends (3) of the side members of the post-superior extension of the frame (4), said columns (8) being locked in place by hydraulic or mechanical means provided with a manual control (13). If the hydraulic piston (11′) is strong, the telescopic columns (8) may be dispensed with.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
- A tiltable child's seat, of the type comprising a base frame and a seat member pivotably associated together by a mechanism which locks different tilting positions of the seat member, characterised in that this mechanism comprises two parallel transverse shafts (9,7) at different heights and rotatably fixed at the lower front portion of the seat member (1) and at the intermediate portion of the base of the frame (4), respectively, which two shafts are connected together by telescopic columns (8) which with their extension and retraction cause the rocking and tilting of the seat member (1) as the latter rotates about lateral bearing points (2) of the intermediate portion of the back rest provided in the rear upper extension of the base frame (4), said mechanism being provided with means for locking different degrees of extension of the said telescopic columns.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
- A tiltable child's seat, of the type comprising a base frame and a seat member pivotably associated together by a mechanism which locks different tilting positions of the seat member, characterised in that this mechanism comprises two parallel transverse shafts (9,7) at different heights and rotatably fixed at the lower front portion of the seat member (1) and at the intermediate portion of the base of the frame (4), respectively, which two shafts are connected together by telescopic columns (8) which with their extension and retraction cause the rocking and tilting of the seat member (1) as the latter rotates about lateral bearing points (2) of the intermediate portion of the back rest provided in the rear upper extension of the base frame (4), said mechanism being provided with means for locking different degrees of extension of the said telescopic columns.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
- A tiltable child's seat, according to claim 1, characterised in that the locking means for the telescopic columns are formed by hydraulic piston means (11) provided with a control member (13) for operation thereof and which is installed between the two transverse shafts (9,7).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
- A tiltable child's seat, according to claim 1, characterised in that the locking means for the telescopic columns are mechanical (17).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
92 words
- A tiltable child's seat, according to claim 3, characterised in that the locking means are formed by a lever (17) pivotably mounted between the two outer members (8b) of the telescopic columns (8) and which have one of the ends thereof provided with lateral pins (19′) which penetrate in respective orifices (20) of said outer members (8b) and which are selectively inserted in one of the orifices (21) provided along the inner members (8a) of the telescopic columns (8), with the other end of the lever (17) forming the operative control.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
- A tiltable child's seat, according to claim 4, characterised in that the lever (17) for locking and releasing the telescopic columns (8) is urged by spring means (24) towrads its active locking position.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
69 words
- A tiltable child's seat, according to claim 1, characterised in that the mechanism causing the rocking and tilting of the seat member (1) with its extension and retraction and which at the same time locks the chosen position is the hydraulic piston means (11′) itself, which is sufficiently rugged and strong to allow the two telescopic columns (8) connecting the two transverse shafts (9′,7) to be dispensed with.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
92 words
- A tiltable child's seat, according to claims 1 and 6, characterised in that the transverse shaft (9′) attached to the lower front portion of the seat member (1) is fixed, to which there is attached the hydraulic piston means (11′) by one of the ends thereof, the piston being actuated by an axial pushbutton (29) which is accessible from the front edge of the seat member (1), the other end of the hydraulic piston means being fixedly attached directly to the transerve shaft (7) rotatively fixed in the frame base (4).
