Description

Child seat cushion for a child restraint system provided in a motor vehicle

The present application is a divisional application of the original application having application No. 201910005922.4, application date 2019, 1/4, entitled "child seat cushion for child restraint system provided in motor vehicle".

Technical Field

The invention relates to a child seat cushion for a child seat arranged in a motor vehicle for resting the legs of a child and/or for stepping on the feet of a child.

Background

It is known from the prior art that child restraint systems, in particular child seats, may result in pressure points on the thighs of the child. This occurs in particular during long driving times, wherein the child is nevertheless well positioned in the child restraint system in terms of safety. Furthermore, such a seated position is clearly disadvantageous for the posture and back muscles over a longer period of time, since the feet are suspended.

In this respect, DE20103931U1 describes a foot support for children in car child seats and chairs. To this end, a seat cushion is disclosed which is placed directly on the seat surface of the height-adjustable seat and is detachably fastened thereto. As a supplement, the seat cushion has a suspended foot support which needs to be adapted to the leg length of the child in a complicated manner by means of a strap adjustment device. However, the system described in DE20103931U1 shows a high safety disadvantage, since the seat cushion is arranged directly on the seat surface. In the event of an accident, i.e. a short-term occurrence of a pulsating load, there is the following risk: the child undesirably slips on the additional seat cushion and can cause corresponding injuries. Furthermore, for this reason, the assembly of complex straps, in particular of footrests, is time-consuming and imprecise. With two belts requiring adjustment, a highly precise adjustment is always required for a physiologically unimpaired sitting position, so that the footrests suspended on the belts are also always oriented horizontally. Conversely, if the length of the strap is adjusted differently, the foot rests themselves are also in a tilted position, which leads to additional postural impairment or strain during longer driving.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a child seat cushion which on the one hand can be reliably arranged on a motor vehicle seat below the child seat and which at the same time makes it possible to achieve a particularly simple, comfortable and reliable adaptation of the foot support in relation to the length of the child's leg. In addition, the object of the invention is to protect the motor vehicle seat and to prevent the motor vehicle seat from being damaged by the child seat.

The object is achieved by a child seat cushion for a child seat arranged in a motor vehicle for resting the legs of a child and/or for stepping the feet of a child, having:

a. at least one rear component for at least partially covering a back area of the child seat at the rear;

b. at least one lower seat part connected to the rear part for positioning the child seat cushion on the underside between the child seat and the vehicle seat surface;

c. and at least one movably designed foot positioning element for the resting of a child's leg and/or for the stepping of a child's foot, which is pivotably articulated on the seat lower part and is designed to be changeable in at least one inclined position relative to the seat lower part;

wherein the child seat cushion is an at least partially multi-layered and/or at least partially padded textile planar configuration, the foot positioning component is configured as a flip element, at least two flip regions of the flip element are configured to be pivotable relative to one another about a common axis of rotation, the foot positioning component further having at least one support member which connects the two flip regions to one another and at the same time is spaced apart from one another, the long sides of the support member being configured to be at least partially pivotable.

The invention relates to a child seat cushion for a child seat arranged in a motor vehicle for resting the legs of a child and/or for stepping the feet of a child, comprising: at least one rear component for at least partially covering a back area of the child seat at the rear; at least one lower seat part connected to the rear part for positioning the child seat cushion on the underside between the child seat and the vehicle seat surface; and at least one movably designed foot positioning element for the resting of a child's leg and/or for the stepping of a child's foot, which is pivotably articulated on the seat lower part and is designed to be changeable in at least one inclined position relative to the seat lower part. Preferably, the rear part and the seat lower part are connected to each other such that they can pivot relative to each other.

Preferably, a child seat cushion is understood to be an at least partially multi-layered and/or at least partially padded textile planar configuration which, in the position of use, is arranged between a child restraint system, such as a child safety seat or a height adjustable child seat, and a vehicle seat of a motor vehicle. Preferably, the child seat cushion described herein is provided on a vehicle seat and placed in a use position. A child seat or any other child restraint system such as a height adjustable seat can then be positioned on the child seat cushion so oriented. Alternatively, it is also conceivable for the child seat cushion described here to be arranged and fastened on the rear side of the child restraint system, in particular of the child seat, facing away from the seating area, and thus to assume its use position. In this case, the child seat cushion is arranged and positioned between the vehicle seat and the child restraint system with the child restraint system fixed to the vehicle seat.

It is further preferred that the foot positioning part is pivotably articulated on the seat lower part, so that the foot positioning part can also be pivoted relative to the seat lower part in the tilted position, or the seat lower part can also be pivoted relative to the foot positioning part in the tilted position. The base of the child seat cushion is thus formed by the rear part, the seat lower part arranged on the rear part and the foot positioning part also arranged on the seat lower part.

In order to be able to achieve the best possible flexibility with respect to vehicle seats of different products and also to protect the sleeve of the vehicle seat, a corresponding pivoting of the individual parts relative to one another is particularly advantageous.

The rear part is designed such that it at least partially, preferably completely, covers and/or covers the backrest region of the child restraint system, preferably of the child seat. The rear part of the child seat cushion is thus configured to be larger than the backrest region of the rear part of the respective child safety seat.

In addition, a seat lower member provided on the rear member is disposed between the vehicle seat face and the bottom side of the child safety seat. This advantageously prevents direct contact between the child seat and the vehicle seat surface, thus achieving seat protection.

Preferably, the use position can be understood as the following position: in this position, the child seat cushion is arranged and fixed on the vehicle seat and/or on the child seat. The child seat cushion is then ready for a corresponding use.

The core idea of the invention is that the foot positioning part is designed as a tilting element, at least two tilting regions of which are designed to be pivotable relative to one another about a common axis of rotation. By providing the foot positioning part as a flip element, it is surprisingly achieved for the first time that the foot positioning part is adapted particularly simply and quickly in accordance with the leg length of the child. Furthermore, the design of the tilting element also ensures a particularly quick and simple folding of the child seat cushion, so that the child seat cushion can be concealed in the motor vehicle in a space-saving manner when not in use.

In addition, the inclination of at least one tilting zone is configured to be adaptable such that also inclinations differing from the horizontal can be adjusted.

This is particularly advantageous in the following cases: the longer child's legs rest on the foot positioning members. By means of the possible inclined position of the tilting region of the foot positioning element, the lower leg of the child can also be supported in a particularly comfortable manner without undesirable pressure points occurring in the popliteal fossa, as may occur, for example, with a purely horizontal foot positioning element.

It goes without saying that it is also possible, as an alternative, to arrange at least one flip area in a horizontal line. This is required in the following cases: the foot positioning member is used only for stepping on the child's feet. This is particularly the case for young and old children with shorter legs. For older children, it may be possible to place the inclined foot positioning member, as already mentioned above, for leg rest when driving for longer periods of time. When falling asleep, the limb is accordingly advantageously blocked and the sitting position is significantly improved.

For this purpose, the two tilting zones are arranged close to one another and have a common fastening zone. This common fastening region is in turn connected to the seat lower part. This can be achieved, for example, directly, in that a common fastening region is fastened, for example sewn, to the seat lower part, through which fastening region the common axis of rotation also extends. However, it is also conceivable to provide indirect fastening and, for example, also to provide an extension module between the lower seat part and the common fastening region.

According to the invention, the foot positioning part also has at least one supporting element which connects the two tilting regions detachably to one another and at the same time is spaced apart from one another next to the common fastening region. For this purpose, the foot positioning element has a first tilting region which forms a rest for the legs of the child and/or a step for the feet of the child. The second tilting region, which is pivotably mounted on the first tilting region, serves to stabilize the foot positioning element in the footwell during the tilted-open state. Additionally, a support member is provided. The support member is removably connected to the two everted regions. Particularly preferably, the support member is fixed to two mutually opposite inner surfaces of each rollover area, for example by means of buttons or velcro. Preferably, the support element is configured to be rigid in itself, so that a sufficient force output is ensured when the support element is arranged between the two tilting regions, and sufficient stability of the foot positioning element is also ensured.

If the seat cushion is arranged and fixed in the position of use, for example in a vehicle seat, the foot positioning part can be adjusted in the desired position in a next step. For this purpose, the two tilting regions in the footwell are separated from one another and are tilted away from one another. The upper first rollover area is used for putting the foot and/or putting the leg. The second tilting zone, which pivots relative to the first tilting zone, is then guided in the rear direction on or towards the rear wall of the footwell. The support member is then introduced and fixed between the two turn-over areas according to the desired inclination of the first turn-over area. Thus, the two upturned regions and the support member form a triangle when viewed in cross-section. This ensures that the forces of the foot acting on the first tilting region (for example also caused by the stepping on) can be transmitted and dissipated particularly efficiently and quickly via the support element and the two tilting regions to the footwell. The support member can therefore also be understood as a force-deriving member. The second tilting zone can therefore also be understood as a stabilizing element and/or a force-deriving element.

In the simplest case, the support element is plate-shaped and is configured as a self-rigid force-guiding plate. Preferably, the force-guiding plate has at least one fastening element, for example a hook-and-loop fastener and/or a pile tape or a button element, on its two opposite long sides. Particularly preferably, the two inner surfaces of each turn-over region have a fastening means formed complementary thereto.

In this case, it has proven particularly simple to design the long sides of the support element so as to be at least partially pivotable. By means of this pivoting, the support member can be arranged particularly simply and precisely between the two turning regions on the inner side of the two turning regions. For this purpose, one long-side section of the support member is arranged parallel to and on the first reversal region. Furthermore, a further long-side section of the support member is arranged parallel to and on the second turnover region. Particularly preferably, the long-side edge regions of the support member are concerned here, on which the fastening members are also arranged.

In a further preferred embodiment, the support element forms an equilateral triangle or a right-angled triangle with the two turnover regions.

In the case of a right triangle, the two upturned regions form a 90 ° angle with each other and the support member forms the hypotenuse. In this case, the first flipping area is disposed in a horizontal orientation. This horizontal orientation is particularly preferred for small children with short legs because they can simply and comfortably place their feet on the horizontal rollover area surface. Thus, a particularly user-friendly seating position is ensured even over a long driving time.

However, if the child restraint system is used by a larger child, it has proven to be particularly advantageous if the two rollover regions form an angle of 60 ° with each other, and the angle of the first rollover region relative to the support member and the angle of the second rollover region relative to the support member are also 60 °. In this case, the first turning region forms an inclined plane inclined downward toward the front. This inclined plane is particularly advantageous if a older child with longer legs is transported over a longer driving time. They can then rest the lower leg comfortably on the inclined plane and thus additionally assume a comfortable sitting position.

In both embodiments, the second tilting region forms a common contact surface with the footwell of the vehicle seat and rests, for example, in the footwell against the rear wall of the footwell facing the rear. The second tilting zone is therefore combined with the support element for stabilization and force dissipation, which is introduced into the first tilting zone during the stepping and/or leg rest.

In a further preferred embodiment, each rollover area has material thickenings on the inside, which are formed mirror-symmetrically to one another. The material thickenings may be padded or formed with foam fillings, for example. The provision of such a material thickening on the inner side of each rollover area is advantageous, since a support element can be detachably provided on the material thickening. A particularly stable connection between the support element and the tilting zone is thus formed, which leads away forces. In the simplest case, the material thickening is formed in its cross section as a semicircle. The material thickening can extend over the entire long side of the rollover area or be provided only in sections. Depending on the respective geometry of the respective rollover area, the material thickening is preferably arranged in the vicinity of the outer edge area.

The function of the material thickenings is that they serve as an orientation measure for fixing the support element. In the simplest case, the support members are arranged via corresponding fastening members on two material thickenings of the inner surface of the respective tilting zone and thus form a triangle. For example, a padded or hook-and-loop fastener and/or a fleece strip and/or a button element can be understood as a material thickening. In addition, the material thickening acts as a spacer for the support member, so that the support member can be more easily arranged and fixed between the inner surfaces of the two turning areas.

In a further advantageous embodiment, each rollover area has a reinforcing component located inside. In the simplest case, only one reinforcing member is provided in each rollover area. However, it is also conceivable to provide the reinforcement elements only in the first rollover area, on which the footrests or the legs rest. As a suitable reinforcing member, a plastic having its own rigidity may be provided. Alternatively, it is also conceivable for the reinforcing element to be formed in a sandwich structure. For this purpose, a plurality of material layers can be provided, for example in the order of cardboard material-foam material (natural and/or synthetic material) -cardboard material. In addition, additional plastic, for example soft foam, can be provided on such a flexurally rigid reinforcing element, so that the resting of the legs or the stepping on of the feet is comfortable and cushioned. Even in the case where a plastic reinforcing member is provided, a sandwich structure form may be applied. For example, a material sequence of plastic plate, foam material (natural material and/or synthetic material), plastic plate is provided.

At the same time, the required stability of the individual tilting zones is also ensured by the reinforcing elements, so that: even when the child steps on the foot with a strong force, the respective turning areas are kept stable in shape and the foot positioning members are not folded. Particularly preferably, the support member also has a corresponding reinforcing member. The same material for the reinforcement elements as in the rollover area can be used here, or a stronger, more stable material, for example polyurethane plastic, can also be provided. Preferably, the reinforcement member is internally arranged, i.e. arranged inside the cushion of the child seat.

In a further preferred embodiment, at least one length-changing module connecting the foot positioning part and the seat lower part is provided between these two parts. The length change module is advantageous in the following cases: the distance between the foot positioning part and the lower part of the seat needs to be adapted as the child grows. Thus, the child seat cushions described herein are configured to grow together. Preferably, the length changing module has a handling member. If the actuating member is actuated accordingly, the distance between the lower seat part and the foot positioning part can be widened and/or shortened.

In the simplest case, the actuating element is designed as a zipper or a push button, for example. If the zipper is now open, the distance between the seat lower part and the foot positioning part, which was specified up to now as a result of the zipper being closed, is lengthened and widened.

In order to be able to achieve this, the seat lower part and the foot positioning part, preferably the common fastening region of the two tilting regions adjacent to one another, are connected to one another via a fabric extension part. The fabric extension is activated as the zipper is opened. In the simplest case, the fabric extension element is constructed of the same material as the child seat cushion. The fabric extension part is provided on the seat lower part at the bottom side, below the zipper, toward the vehicle seat, and on the foot positioning part. The geometry of the fabric extension element itself dictates the actual extension travel by which the seat lower element can be spaced from the foot positioning element. At the same time, it is constructed to be reversible.

If the zipper is closed again, the zipper determines the distance between the seat lower component and the foot positioning component.

In a further preferred embodiment, the seat lower part and/or the rear part each has at least two cushion elements. This is advantageous because the weight of the child restraint system, in particular the child seat, is thus additionally damped, so that pressure points are prevented from forming on the vehicle seat itself. Furthermore, a padding member is also provided as energy absorbing member. For example, if an accident occurs and thus a short loading of force on the child restraint system is caused, the force pulse is at least partially absorbed by the cushion element and then conducted on to the vehicle seat. Thus, the collision can be successfully buffered.

It has proved to be particularly advantageous here to divide the rear part such that two cushion elements are provided. Preferably, the two lining components are separated from each other by a lining-free section and therefore have no common contact surface. Each cushion member is disposed within the child seat cushion.

In the simplest case, the section without padding consists of a fabric and is quilted or sewn, for example, in each side region toward the respective padding member. Thus, the cushion member can be held in the correct position. By a fabric is understood in the invention described herein any type of fabric, such as knitted, woven, non-woven or the like or other material, which can be processed into the child seat cushion described herein for the purpose of forming the child seat cushion.

It has proven to be particularly preferred if the section without padding is arranged centrally along the rear part in horizontal extension. This arrangement is particularly advantageous because a certain flexibility of the rear part is additionally provided by the cushion-free section and adaptation to the vehicle seat itself is facilitated.

Furthermore, especially in rear-oriented child restraint systems (also referred to as reverse child seats), the cushion member provides a sufficient flexibility possibility for the child's feet in the event of a crash. Even in this case, the input forces are at least partially damped and conducted away via the child seat cushion.

Preferably, the seat lower part also has two cushion members. In the simplest embodiment, the cushion element of the seat lower part is constructed identically to the cushion element of the rear part. The cushion members are also spaced from each other in the lower seat component via a non-cushion section. Preferably, the cushion-free section is oriented horizontally and extends centrally along the seat lower component.

It goes without saying that the functions described for the cushion member of the rear part can also be applied to the cushion member of the seat lower part and can be applied analogously. It has proven particularly advantageous for the linerless sections to be arranged with a width of 1.5cm to 10cm, preferably 5 cm. Within this range of numbers, a particularly easy folding of the seat cushion can additionally be ensured. Therefore, the seat cushion can also be folded to a small volume without problems and can be easily hidden.

At the same time, the cushion-free section is also designed without a reinforcing element. An improved adaptation of the child seat cushion to the vehicle seat cushion portion and simultaneously to the child seat can thus be ensured. The child seat cushion described herein therefore has a high degree of flexibility while retaining features that are important in safety technology.

In a further preferred embodiment, the rear part and/or the lower seat part have at least one surface modification on the surface facing the child seat and/or on the surface facing away from the child seat. A surface modification may be understood as any type of surface modification that changes the original fabric material. In the simplest case, the surface modification is formed as an additional material application. This can be achieved, for example, by means of a further textile fabric, or also by means of flocking or other types of structuring. The material application itself may also be sewn on, glued on or otherwise physically and/or chemically fixed.

It has proven to be particularly advantageous for the surface modification to be formed on the lower seat part, but also on the surface facing the child seat. Particularly preferably, in this case, the surface modification is designed as a fixed further fabric. The material used here has a surface characteristic of slip resistance. It can thus be successfully ensured that the child seat arranged on the child seat cushion is held particularly reliably on the child seat cushion even when driving relatively fast on curves or even in the event of an accident, and that the child seat is prevented from slipping or even sliding off the child seat cushion. For this purpose, the material is arranged on four sections of the surface of the seat lower part, which are each divided into individual sections and are formed spaced apart from one another. Preferably, the material is sewn to the surface of the seat lower member. This brings additional aesthetic effects and is particularly inexpensive.

It is further contemplated that the child seat cushion has at least one retaining member. The retaining member may be provided on the rear part and/or on the lower seat part. The holding element is used for arranging the child seat cushion on a child seat and/or on a motor vehicle seat. If the retaining member is provided on the rear part of the child seat cushion, the retaining member is, for example, designed as a strap with a snap-in mechanism and/or a plug-in mechanism, or also as an elastic strap. If the child seat cushion is now to be arranged on the vehicle seat, the elastic straps pass over the headrest, or the straps open with a snap-action mechanism and/or a snap-in mechanism and are guided around the headrest and closed again. The retaining means thus serve to additionally secure the child seat cushion during use and in particular to avoid slipping or sliding off during fitting of the foot positioning part.

In connection with the headrest, the strap with the snap mechanism and/or the plug mechanism is changeable in its length and can be opened. Alternatively, it is also conceivable for the holding element to be designed in the form of a hook and a lug, which can be operatively connected to the child seat and/or the vehicle seat cushion part. It is also conceivable for the retaining means to be integrated in the rear part. This is particularly advantageous in the following cases: the belt is elastic, for example an elastic belt. In both variants, the retaining means are preferably arranged in the upper section of the rear part, preferably in the upper 1/3 up to the upper 1/8 of the rear part.

It goes without saying that this is not to be understood in a limiting manner, and it is therefore also conceivable to pass the elastic strap over the rear part or over the headrest of the child restraint system and thus to fix the child seat cushion accordingly.

It is also conceivable that the child seat cushion also has at least one pocket with a lateral and/or rear opening. This is advantageous in particular for the rollover area of the foot positioning element, since the reinforcement element can also be removed from the rollover area via the pocket. The same applies to the support member also described herein. The removal of the reinforcement member is advantageous because it can thus be ensured that the cleaning or even the rinsing of the child seat cushion is particularly easy without the reinforcement element being rigid in itself.

It may also prove to be advantageous to provide a further surface modification on the rear side of the lower seat part, i.e. on the surface facing the vehicle seat and forming a common contact surface with the vehicle seat. It has proven particularly preferable here for the surface modification to be formed over the entire underside of the seat lower part. In order to ensure an additional improved anti-slip function of the child seat cushion on the vehicle seat, the surface modification is designed as a hexagonal anti-slip net. Preferably, the anti-slip mesh is arranged circumferentially on the underside of the seat lower part and extends both over a cushion component arranged inside the seat lower part and over a cushion-free section. Preferably, the non-slip mesh is secured to the non-lined section, for example sewn to the non-lined section. In order to ensure a particularly reliable anti-slip function, the net is made of plastic and has a hexagonal pore structure. By means of the hexagonal design, particularly good force dissipation and thus slip resistance can be ensured.

Finally, it is also conceivable that at least one web extension is arranged between the rear part and the seat lower part on the rear side of the child seat cushion, i.e. on the underside facing the vehicle seat. Preferably, the web extension is designed in the form of a drop and has at least one energy-absorbing element. The energy absorbing member can be configured, for example, as a foam or other padding member. The web extensions are preferably used to additionally stabilize the child seat cushion. For this purpose, the web extension can be introduced between the backrest and the seat part of the vehicle seat. The tab extension is reliably held in place in the slot by the non-slip surface. Thus preventing undesired sliding of the child seat cushion.

Drawings

Other embodiments and explanations can be derived from the following figures. In the drawings:

FIG. 1 shows a schematic top view of a first embodiment of a child seat cushion;

FIG. 2 shows a schematic top view of another embodiment of a child seat cushion; and is

FIG. 3 shows a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of the child seat cushion of FIG. 2.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a child seat cushion 1 according to the invention. The child seat cushion 1 is formed in multiple parts. The child seat cushion has a rear part 2 on which a seat lower part 4 is pivotably arranged. Particularly preferably, a double-sided material narrowing 6 is provided between the rear part 2 and the seat lower part 4. The material taper 6 or the void serves to better adapt the child seat cushion 1 to a vehicle seat (not shown). In addition, the two material tapers 6 or the gap also ensure that the belt guide in the vehicle is not obstructed by the child seat cushion 1.

The extension module 8 is fastened to the seat lower part 4. The extension module 8 is in this case displayed in the open extended state. The actuating element 10 is in this exemplary embodiment designed as a zipper, which is open here. By opening the zipper 10, the extension fabric 12 becomes free and can be tensioned. Preferably, the elongated fabric 12 is many times larger than the closed operating member 10. Thus, with the opening of the operating member 10, the distance between the seat lower part 4 and the foot positioning part 14 is also changed, in particular lengthened. The extension fabric 12 enables and limits such extension.

If, on the other hand, an elongation is no longer desired, for example if the child seat cushion 1 is to be used by a child, the actuating member, here the zip fastener 10, is closed again in a particularly simple manner. The extension fabric 12 is folded back under the zipper and placed under the operating member 10.

A retaining element 16, which may be designed as an elastic band or as a band with a snap-in and/or plug-in mechanism, is provided by way of example on the upper end of the rear part 2. The retaining member 16 serves to operatively connect the child seat cushion 1 to a vehicle, in particular a vehicle seat, or also to a child seat.

In fig. 2 another top view of the child seat cushion is shown. In this case, a further embodiment is concerned, in which both the rear part 2 and the lower seat part 4 are provided with corresponding cushion-free sections 18 and additionally also with surface modifications 20. The same reference numerals as before correspond to the same components and are not explained anew.

The rear part 2 in fig. 2 shows a horizontally arranged section 18a without padding, which separates two

inner padding components

22a, 22b from each other. Two

pad members

22a, 22b are provided inside the rear part and are covered on both sides by fabric. The surface of the child seat cushion 1 is preferably made of plastic and can therefore be easily cleaned and washed.

The seat lower part 4 has two

further cushion components

22c, 22d, which are also separated from one another by the horizontally arranged cushion-free section 18 b. Here, the two

cushion components

22c, 22d are also arranged inside the lower seat part 4 and are covered on both sides by a fabric. The transition 24 between the rear part 2 and the seat lower part 4 is formed as a material taper 6 or also as a cushion-free region. A particularly easy pivoting of the rear part 2 relative to the seat lower part 4 or of the seat lower part relative to the rear part can thus be ensured. The child seat cushion 1 can thus be particularly easily adapted to the geometry of the vehicle seat to which it is to be fixed.

In addition to the section without padding 18b, the seat lower part 4 additionally has a surface modification 20. The surface modification is divided into four sections in the embodiment shown here. Each two sections are arranged mirror-symmetrically to each other and on the left or right side of the seat lower part 4. The geometry of the surface modification 20 shown has proven to be particularly preferred, since by the rectangular shape of the surface modification on the one hand and the further triangular shape, a particularly high stability and slip resistance of the child restraint system, in particular of a child seat (not shown), can be ensured.

In fig. 3 a perspective view of the child seat cushion 1 of fig. 2 is now shown. In this case, the arrangement of the child seat cushion 1 approximates the actual arrangement on a motor vehicle seat (not shown). The same components as in the previous figures have the same reference numerals and are therefore not explained anew.

In the child seat cushion 1 shown here, the extension module 8 is shown in the closed state. The actuating element 10 is also designed here as a zipper, which is closed in this case, so that the distance between the seat lower part 4 and the foot positioning part 14 is designed only in the width of the closed actuating element 10. The foot positioning part 14 is connected, for example sewn, to the actuating element 10 via a common fastening section of the two

rollover areas

26, 28 which are adjacent to one another, and at the same time also to the extension section 12. The same applies on the other hand to the lower seat part.

Fig. 3 additionally shows a first tilting zone 26 and a second tilting zone 28 in the tilted-open state. The two flipping

areas

26 and 28 are spaced apart from each other via a support member 30 and are simultaneously held in the flipped open position shown by the support member 30. For this purpose, the support element 30 is preferably plate-shaped.

In addition, a support member 30 is detachably provided on both inner sides, i.e. on the surfaces of the two turned-over

regions

26, 28 facing each other. This detachable arrangement can be realized in the simplest case by means of velcro. For this purpose, the inner, facing surfaces of the first and

second rollover area

26 and 28 have been provided with correspondingly roughened surfaces. Correspondingly complementarily configured hook and loop fasteners (not shown) are provided on each long side 32 of the support member 30. Particularly preferably, the respective long side 32 is arranged parallel to the first and second turned-over

regions

26, 28 in the fixed state, whereas the other parts of the support member 30 form an inclined plane. By means of this inclined plane, the two tilting

zones

26, 28 can be separated from one another and held at a predeterminable angle, preferably in the range from 60 ° to 90 °.

Depending on the geometry of the support element 30, the two tilting

zones

26 and 28 can be pivoted about a common axis of rotation R in each case, or can also be conveyed toward one another in the pivoting angle.

If the support member 30 is completely removed, the two turning

areas

26 and 28 can be conveyed directly towards one another and placed against one another. This is advantageous in particular for transport, since then the two tilting

zones

26, 28 are arranged one above the other and have a common contact surface lying inside. It has proved to be particularly preferable for the long sides of the support members 30 to be constructed with a length in the range from 25cm to 32cm, preferably 29cm, and for the total width of the support members 30 orthogonal thereto to be set in the range from 22cm to 26cm, still more preferably 24.5 cm. These dimensions are particularly advantageous for stability of the foot positioning member 14. A particularly easy arrangement of the support member 30 between the two tilting

zones

26, 28 can thus be achieved, wherein sufficient stability is ensured. The long side 32 can also be arranged on a material thickening (not shown) of the inner surface of the two turning areas as a supplement.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiments as illustrated herein, the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments and other variations may be derived therefrom by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the invention is not limited to the combination of the features described below, but other combinations and partial combinations of the disclosed features, which are obvious to the skilled person, can also be formed.
