Abstract

A child restraint seat includes a seat unit, a locking mechanism and a releasing handle. The locking mechanism is disposed on the seat unit and adapted to fix the seat unit onto a first external structural unit. The locking mechanism includes a latch base disposed on the seat unit, a first latching component movably disposed on the latch base, and a lock releasing component connected to the first latching component. The first latching component is adapted to move relative to a first constraining component of the first external structural unit for switching between a closed position and an open position. The releasing handle is disposed on the seat unit and connected to the lock releasing component, the releasing handle is utilized to drive the lock releasing component to move the first latching component from the closed position to the open position.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A child restraint seat capable of being detachably assembled with a first external structural unit, the restraint seat comprising:
a seat unit;
a locking mechanism disposed on the seat unit and adapted to fix the seat unit onto the first external structural unit, the locking mechanism comprising:
a latch base disposed on the seat unit;
a first latching component movably disposed on the latch base and adapted to move relative to a first constraining component of the first external structural unit for switching between a closed position and an open position, wherein the first latching component comprises an axle portion and an engaging portion, the axle portion is rotatably connected with the latch base, the engaging portion is connected with the axle portion and contacts against or is separated from the first constraining component according to rotation of the axle portion, and the rotation of the axle portion is perpendicular to a movement of the seat unit relative to the first external structural unit when the engaging portion is moved to contact against or be separated from the first constraining component; and
a lock releasing component connected to the first latching component; and

a releasing handle disposed on the seat unit and connected to the lock releasing component, the releasing handle being utilized to drive the lock releasing component to move the first latching component from the closed position to the open position.

2. The child restraint seat of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second latching component movably disposed on the seat unit and adapted to move relative to a second constraining component of a second external structural for switching between a closed position and an open position, the second latching component being connected to the releasing handle, the releasing handle being utilized to switch the first latching component from the closed position to the open position and switch the second latching component from the closed position to the open position.

3. The child restraint seat of claim 2 , wherein the releasing handle is connected to the lock releasing component and the second latching component respectively via connective cables.

4. The child restraint seat of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism further comprises a resilient component disposed between the latch base and the axle portion.

5. The child restraint seat of claim 1 , wherein the first latching component further comprises an inclined portion disposed on the engaging portion and adapted to slide relative to the first constraining component for rotating the axle portion.

6. The child restraint seat of claim 1 , wherein the lock releasing component is connected with the axle portion and is pulled by the releasing handle to rotate the engaging portion to contact against and be separated from the first constraining component.

7. The child restraint seat of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism further comprises a slot structural component disposed on the seat unit, and the lock releasing component is slidably disposed inside the slot structural component for linear constraint.
