Abstract

A child safety seat includes a base and a seat part. The seat part includes a back portion and a sitting portion, which are movably disposed on the base and are pivotally connected with each other. An adjustment mechanism for the child safety seat includes a positioning structure and a dragging part. The positioning structure is movably disposed on the base or the seat part. The dragging part extends toward the positioning structure. The positioning structure selectively fixes or releases the dragging part. When the dragging part is released by the positioning structure, a manipulator can manipulate the dragging part to make the sitting portion and the back portion relatively pivot to switch the child safety seat between a lying status and a sitting status. Thereby, the manipulator can conveniently and quickly adjust the child safety seat through the adjustment mechanism.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An adjustment mechanism used in a child safety seat, the child safety seat comprising a seat part and a base, the seat part comprising a back portion and a sitting portion, the back portion and the sitting portion being movably disposed on the base, the back portion and the sitting portion being pivotally connected with each other, the back portion and the sitting portion being rotatable relatively to make the child safety seat in a lying status or a sitting status, the adjustment mechanism comprising:
a positioning structure, the positioning structure being movably disposed on the base or the seat part; and
a dragging part, the dragging part being under the sitting portion and having a connection end and a manipulation end, the connection end being connected to the base, the manipulation end extending toward the positioning structure, the positioning structure selectively fixing or releasing the manipulation end;

wherein when the positioning structure releases the manipulation end, the manipulation end can be manipulated by a manipulator to make the sitting portion and the back portion pivot relatively so that the child safety seat is switched between the lying status and the sitting status, and when the positioning structure fixes the manipulation end, the child safety seat is fixed in the lying status or the sitting status.

2. The adjustment mechanism of claim 1 , further comprising a positioning mount, wherein the positioning structure is movably disposed on the base through the positioning mount, the positioning mount is installed on the base, the positioning structure is movably disposed on the positioning mount, and the positioning structure and the positioning mount clamp or release the manipulation end in a movement of the positioning structure relative to the positioning mount.

3. The adjustment mechanism of claim 2 , wherein a resilient part is connected to and between the positioning structure and the positioning mount, the positioning structure is rotatably disposed on the positioning mount, and the resilient part has a tendency to drive the positioning structure to rotate to clamp the manipulation end.

4. The adjustment mechanism of claim 2 , wherein the positioning structure has a manipulation portion and a positioning portion, and the manipulation portion is manipulated by the manipulator to make the positioning portion fix or release the manipulation end.

5. The adjustment mechanism of claim 2 , wherein the positioning mount is disposed under a portion of the base corresponding to the back portion.

6. The adjustment mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the dragging part is under the back portion, and the dragging part is disposed along lower outside walls of the sitting portion and the back portion in a direction from the front to the rear of the child safety seat.

7. The adjustment mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the connection end of the dragging part is under the sitting portion, the manipulation end of the dragging part is under the back portion, a fixing piece is installed where the connection end and the base are connected, and the fixing piece fixes the connection end.

8. The adjustment mechanism of claim 1 wherein an upper end of the back portion is pivotally connected with the base, and a lower end of the back portion is pivotally connected with a rear end of the sitting portion.

9. The adjustment mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the dragging part is a flexible dragging part.

10. The adjustment mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the back portion and the sitting portion respectively are a plate structure.

11. The adjustment mechanism of claim 1 , wherein a limitation stopper is disposed on one of the base and the seat part, a long slot structure is disposed on the other one of the base and the seat part, and the limitation stopper is slidably disposed in the slot structure.

12. The adjustment mechanism of claim 1 , wherein a restoring part is connected to and between the base and the seat part, and the restoring part has a tendency to drive the sitting portion and the back portion to relatively pivot to switch the child safety seat to be in the sitting status.

13. A child safety seat, comprising:
a base;
a seat part, the seat part comprising a back portion and a sitting portion, the back portion and the sitting portion being movably disposed on the base, the back portion and the sitting portion being pivotally connected with each other about a pivotal connection axis, the back portion and the sitting portion being rotatable relatively to make the child safety seat in a lying status or a sitting status; and
an adjustment mechanism, comprising:
a positioning structure, the positioning structure being movably disposed on the base or the seat part; and
a dragging part, the dragging part being under the sitting portion and having a connection end and a manipulation end, the connection end being connected to the base, the manipulation end extending toward the positioning structure, the positioning structure selectively fixing or releasing the manipulation end;

wherein the manipulation end can be manipulated to switch the child safety seat between the lying status and the sitting status, and a position of the pivotal connection axis changes as the child safety seat is switched.

14. The child safety seat of claim 13 , wherein the adjustment mechanism further comprises a positioning mount, the positioning structure is movably disposed on the base through the positioning mount, the positioning mount is installed on the base, the positioning structure is movably disposed on the positioning mount, and the positioning structure and the positioning mount clamp or release the manipulation end in a movement of the positioning structure relative to the positioning mount.

15. The child safety seat of claim 14 , wherein a resilient part is connected to and between the positioning structure and the positioning mount, the positioning structure is rotatably disposed on the positioning mount, and the resilient part has a tendency to drive the positioning structure to rotate to clamp the manipulation end.

16. The child safety seat of claim 14 , wherein the positioning structure has a manipulation portion and a positioning portion, and the manipulation portion is manipulated by the manipulator to make the positioning portion fix or release the manipulation end.

17. The child safety seat of claim 14 , wherein the positioning mount is disposed under a portion of the base corresponding to the back portion.

18. The child safety seat of claim 13 , wherein the dragging part is under the back portion, and the dragging part is disposed along lower outside walls of the sitting portion and the back portion in a direction from the front to the rear of the child safety seat.

19. The child safety seat of claim 18 , wherein the connection end of the dragging part is under the sitting portion, and the manipulation end of the dragging part is under the back portion, a fixing piece is installed where the connection end and the base are connected, and the fixing piece fixes the connection end.

20. The child safety seat of claim 13 , wherein an upper end of the back portion is pivotally connected with the base, and a lower end of the back portion is pivotally connected with a rear end of the sitting portion.

21. The child safety seat of claim 13 , wherein the dragging part is a flexible dragging part.

22. The child safety seat of claim 13 , wherein the back portion and the sitti
