Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved child restraint wherein the one restraint shell can be used with different harness configurations to make it useable for children of different sizes.
- Child restraints have been in use in automobiles for many years as they have a strong record of saving the life of the child therein when the automobile is involved in a collision. Developments over their period of use has made them even more safe.
- Type A restraints are rearward facing restraints with a harness, intended to be used with the child semi-reclined. They are intended to be used for children up to 9 kg in weight - about 6 months of age, on average.
- Type B restraints are a forward facing chair with a harness, and are intended to be used with the child seated. These are intended to be used for children up to 18 kg in weight - about 4 years of age.
- Some type B restraints incorporate a recline mechanism to enable the restraint to recline so as to assist the child when sleeping.
- Type C restraints are intended to be used in a forward-facing position.
- the type C restraint is a harness used without a chair or safety seat and is suitable for children in the range 14kg to 32kg in weight.
- Booster seats or booster cushions are used for children in the weight range of 14kg to 26kg - up to about 8 years of age. They raise the child to a more convenient height, and can be used with a vehicle seat belt or lap/sash belt, and a type C child harness.
- the child harness is preferred as a child may "submarine" - slide under the vehicle lap/sash belt - in the event of a major collision.
- Booster seats with a child harness are referred to as a type E restraint.
- the present invention accordingly provides a child restraint having a shell and at least one harness assembly, the shell and harness assembly being selectively reconfigurable between a type B restraint (as herein defined) and a type E restraint (as herein defined).
- the restraint is also selectively reconfigurable to a type A restraint (as herein defined).
- the shell has a base and a back, the back having at least one vertically elongate opening, for the passage therethrough of shoulder strap means of the at least one harness assembly or another harness assembly when the restraint is configured in a type E configuration.
- the back of the restraint preferably further includes a plurality of horizontally aligned pairs of openings for the passage therethrough of shoulder straps of the at least one harness assembly, when the restraint is configured in a type A or B configuration.
- the harness assembly includes a tether strap releasably secured to the shell and being adapted to, in use, be connected to an anchor.
- the restraint preferably further includes a harness assembly providing shoulder straps and a tether strap adapted to, in use, be connected to an anchor.
- the tether strap is also preferably connected to the retaining member.
- the shoulder straps are connected to a retaining member adjacent the upper pair of openings. More preferably, the shoulder straps are integral with the tether strap.
- the tether strap is adjustable in length.
- the retaining member may be adjustable in position relative to the upper pair of openings by means of a tension strap.
- the retaining member may be attached to the shell by means of at least one biasing means.
- the at least one biasing means includes a spring or a plurality of springs, for example, bungy straps, springs or other suitable elasticised material.
- the invention also provides a child restraint having a harness assembly, the harness assembly including two hip and shoulder straps which pass through at least one elongate opening in the restraint and combine to form a tether strap for attachment to a vehicle anchor point.
- the two hip and shoulder straps form a loop through a vehicle anchor point connector.
- At least one of the hip and shoulder straps includes an adjustment means for adjusting the effective length of the hip and shoulder strap.
- the two hip and shoulder straps are integral.
- the invention further provides a shell for a child restraint, the shell including a base and a back, the back having an upper pair of vertically elongate openings, for the passage therethrough of shoulder straps of a harness assembly when the restraint is in a type E configuration.

- the tether strap 20 terminates in a loop 34 which engages over a rod 32 shaped to be a reasonably tight fit in recess 30. In this way, tether strap 20 is releasably yet securely connected to shell 10.
- a crotch strap 36 is also provided.
- the crotch strap 36 has a first loop 38 at a first end thereof and which engages over a first rod 40, the first rod 40 being located in a first recess 42 in base 12.
- the first recess 42 has a first opening through which the crotch strap 36 passes.
- a further first opening 46 enables strap 36 to pass above base 12.
- the crotch strap 36 has a second loop 68 which engages over a second rod 66, the second rod 66 being located in a second recess 64 in base 12.
- the second recess 64 has a second opening through which the crotch strap passes.
- a further second opening 60 enables strap 36 to pass above base 12. Between first further opening 46 and second further opening 60, crotch strap 36 has a female buckle portion 48.
- first male buckle portion 72 and second male buckle portion 88 Adapted to engage with female buckle portion 48 are first male buckle portion 72 and second male buckle portion 88 slidably mounted on first hip and shoulder strap 70, and second hip and shoulder strap 86, respectively.
- the first hip and shoulder strap 70 passes to the rear of back 14 through a first lower opening 74. At its end it has a first hip strap loop 78 which passes over first hip strap rod 76 so as to retain the first hip and shoulder strap 70 in position relative to shell 10.
- the first hip and shoulder strap 70 also passes through a first of a pair of aligned, upper openings 80, to then be behind back 14. It then passes to the lower end of back 14, where it is secured to a retaining member 82. Lugs 75 on either side of opening 74 retain rod 76 in a secure yet releasable manner relative to shell 10.
- the second hip and shoulder strap 86 passes to the rear of back 14 through a second of the pair of aligned, upper openings 90. At its end it has a second hip strap loop 94 which passes over second hip strap rod 92 so as to retain the second hip and shoulder strap 86 in position relative to shell 10.
- the second hip and shoulder strap 86 also passes through a second of a pair of aligned openings 96, to then be behind back 14, where it is secured to the retaining member 82. Lugs 91 on either side of opening 90 retain rod 92 in a secure yet releasable manner relative to shell 10.
- a tension strap 84 which has a length adjuster 102.
- the strap 84 passes through an opening 100 in a recess 98 in front panel 16.
- the recess 98 is to accommodate an adjustment means so that the effective length (ie. from front panel 16 to retaining member 82) can be joined. In this way the correct tension can be maintained in hip and shoulder straps 70, 86.
- a second pair 50, 52 of aligned, upper openings are provided so that the upper point for hip and shoulder straps 70, 86 can be raised as the child grows.
- To move the straps 70, 86 requires the loops 78, 94 to be removed from their respective rods 76, 92 and the straps 70, 86 withdrawn through openings 74, 90; buckles 72, 88; and openings 80, 96.
- the straps 70, 86 can then be passed through openings 74, 90; buckles 72, 88; and openings 74, 90.
- the adjustment is complete.
- the child restraint is in a type B configuration, ie. a conventional forward facing chair with harness.
- the shell is arranged in a manner well-known in the art to allow reorientation of the restraint for type A use, ie. rearward facing restraint with harness.
- the restraint may be reconfigured for type E use by replacing the tether and shoulder straps with a tether and shoulder strap harness assembly 100 as illustrated in Figures 5 to 7.
- an upper pair 54, 56 of vertically elongate, horizontally aligned, rectangular openings are provided in the back 14 of the shell 10, generally above the respective pairs of shoulder strap openings, 80, 96, and 50, 52.
- the retaining member 82' is in a higher position adjacent the openings, 54, 56.
- the tension strap 84' remains connected to the retaining member 82' as before, but its lower end is looped around a retaining rod 58 which is releasably yet securely attached to shell 10 in any conventional manner.
- the ends of rod 58 may be releasably held in slots (not shown) provided in the rear of the shell 10.
- Hip and shoulder straps 70', 86' of assembly 100 pass through openings 54, 56 and pass through slots 104', 106' in retaining member 82' and continue to form a loop through connector 22'.
- hip and shoulder straps assembly 100 also provides the tether strap 20'.
- the adjustment means 24' is provided as before.
- springs 108, 110 are provided to maintain retaining member 82' in position relative to shell 10 and openings 54, 56.
- Springs 108, 110 are attached at one end to the retaining member 82' and at their opposite ends to an upper portion of the rear of the shell 10.
- tension strap 84' is kept under tension, and its adjusting means 102' can be adjusted to suit the shoulder height of the child.
- the adjustment means 24' may also require adjustment to maintain the correct tension in hip and shoulder straps 70', 86'.
- the hip and shoulder straps 70', 86' are connected directly to the vehicle anchor point via connector 22', rather than to the shell 10 of restraint, as in the type B configuration. Therefore, at one end of the straps 70', 86' the child is restrained directly, and supported by base 12.
- the configuration is type E.
- slots 54, 56 and 50, 52 may be combined into enlarged elongate slots.
- slots 80, 96 may be incorporated into such enlarged, elongate slots, if desired. This may be achieved by providing a cross-bar or other formation within the enlarged elongate slot so as to define the equivalent upper position of the hip and shoulder straps normally defined by openings 50, 52.
- approximately L-shaped projections may be located on the rear surface of back 14 on the outermost sides of slots 54,56 to retain therebetween is a slideable manner retaining member 82 so that movement of retaining member 82 relative to back 14 is in a plane parallel to back 14, and in the longitudinal (vertical) direction.
- the present invention can be used whereby one harness could be used for all requirements of types A, B, C or E. Also, the one tether strap 20 could be used for all four categories.
