Independent Claim
117 words
Device connecting a child seat (1) to a motor-vehicle
seat (5), comprising at least two couplings for
connection of the child seat to the frame of the motor-vehicle
seat, characterized in that said couplings are
in form of quick couplings (3, 4) each comprising: a receiver element (4) and an element (3) for engaging
the receiver element (4), which are carried by either of the
child seat (1) and the frame (8) of the backrest (7) of
the motor-vehicle seat (5) respectively; and releasable locking means (13, 32), having a first
position for locking each engaging element (3) within
the corresponding receiver element (4) and a second
position for releasing the engaging element from the
receiver element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that
each engaging element (3) is constituted by a bolt
projecting rearwardly from the backrest of the child
seat (1), said receiver element (4) being comprised of
a bush (10) inserted within a hole (11) formed through
the backrest (7) of the motor-vehicle seat (5) and said
locking means is constituted by a latch (13) slidable
within said frame (8) of the backrest (7) in a
direction transverse to the axis of said bolt (3) said
latch (13) being biassed by spring means (17) towards a
position for locking said bolt (3) and being manually
moveable, against the action of said spring means (17),
towards a position for releasing said bolt (3).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
172 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that
each engaging element (3) is constituted by a bolt
projecting forwardly from the backrest (7) of the
motor-vehicle seat (5) and said receiver element (4) is
constituted by a hole (20) formed through the backrest
of the child seat (1); said locking means being
comprised of a latch (13) which is slidable within the
backrest of the child seat (1) in a direction
transverse to the axis of said hole (20), and is
biassed by spring means (17) towards a position for
locking said bolt (3) and is manually moveable, against
the action of said spring means (17) towards a position
for releasing said bolt (3), the latter having an
articulated end portion (22) which is moveable to a
position rotated by 90° with respect to the axis of
bolt (3) to be received within a corresponding seat
(23) formed in the front surface of backrest (7) of the
motor-vehicle seat (5), when the child seat (1) is not
connected to said backrest (7).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that
each quick coupling is a coupling of the type known per
se used for safety belts, in which the engaging element
is a tab (30) and the receiver element is a buckle for
safety belts (32).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
Device according to claim 4, characterized in that
the buckle (32) projects rearwardly from the child seat
(1) and the tab (30) is fixed to the frame (8) of the

Device according to claim 4, characterized in that
the buckle (32) is arranged at the rear of the child
seat (1) with its receiving aperture facing downwardly
and the tab (30) is fixed to the frame (8) of the
backrest (7) of the motor-vehicle seat (5) and projects
forwardly from the gap between the cushion (6) and the
backrest (7) of the motor-vehicle seat (5), and has an
end portion (30a) directed upwardly.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
60 words
Device according to claim 4, characterized in that
the buckle (32a) is carried at the rear of the backrest
(7) of the motor-vehicle seat (5), adjacent to the top
thereof, and the tab (30a) is connected to a belt (34)
of a type for safety belts, anchored to the top portion
of the backrest (2) of the child seat (1).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
