Abstract

The invention relates to a child seat for attaching to a motor vehicle seat, comprising a seat region, a backrest, a headrest having at least one belt guide, and a headrest inclination adjustment device for adjusting an inclination of the headrest relative to the backrest.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A child seat mountable on a motor vehicle seat, comprising:
a seat area,
a backrest,
a headrest with at least one belt guide, and
a headrest inclination adjusting device for adjusting an inclination of the headrest relative to the backrest, wherein the inclination ranges between a maximum upright position and a maximum inclined position, wherein at least in the maximum inclined position the headrest is inclined in a backward direction, and wherein the headrest comprises side cheeks which co-rotate with the headrest when the inclination is adjusted.

2. The child seat according to claim 1 , wherein the headrest is height-adjustable or is mounted height-adjustable.

3. The child seat according to claim 1 , wherein an inclination of the headrest increases when a predetermined inertia force is exceeded.

4. The child seat according to claim 1 , wherein an inclination of the backrest is adjustable relative to the seat area or to a base, the backrest coupled to the headrest such that a change in the inclination of the backrest causes a change in the inclination of the headrest or vice versa.

5. The child seat according to claim 1 , wherein an angle range of an inclination adjustment of the headrest is between 3° and 20°.

6. The child seat according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one belt guide is configured at least partially below side cheeks.

7. A system comprising a child seat according to claim 1 and a safety belt.

8. A motor vehicle with a child seat according to claim 1 and a system
wherein
a locking of at least one inclination adjustment can be released by a displacement of the headrest or a part of the headrest against a restoring force from a restoring spring, or
a locking of at least one inclination setting can be released by a displacement of the headrest or a part of the headrest, wherein one or more locking recesses on the backrest or connected thereto are opened upwards or one or more locking openings are provided on the headrest or connected thereto are opened downwards,
wherein the displacement can be effected by a tensile force or an inertia force or a tensile force of a belt in the belt guide, exerted via a handle directed upwards.

9. A method for adjusting the inclination of a headrest of a child seat according to claim 1 , wherein the inclination of the headrest is changed relative to a backrest, wherein a manually operable actuating device or an inertia force of the headrest or a tensile force of a belt in a belt guide is used for this purpose.

10. A child seat mountable on a motor vehicle seat, comprising:
a seat area,
a backrest,
a headrest with at least one belt guide, and
a headrest inclination adjusting device for adjusting an inclination of the headrest relative to the backrest, wherein the headrest and the at least one belt guide is configured such that an inclination of the headrest increases when a predetermined tensile force applied by a belt is exceeded.

11. A child seat mountable on a motor vehicle seat, comprising:
a seat area,
a backrest,
a headrest with at least one belt guide, and
a headrest inclination adjusting device for adjusting an inclination of the headrest relative to the backrest, and
wherein the headrest comprises side cheeks which co-rotate with the headrest when the inclination is adjusted, and
further comprising at least one first connecting device, movable with at least one degree of freedom, and a third connecting device including a swivel bearing for connecting the headrest and the backrest, and at least one first locking device for connecting the headrest and the backrest,
wherein the first locking device or the first connecting device is coupled to the third connecting device, and
wherein the first locking device and the first connecting device are at a maximum of half the height of the headrest and the side cheeks
wherein a relative position of the third connecting device with respect to the backrest remains unchanged when the inclination is changed, and
wherein the first locking device and the first connecting device are above the third connecting device, and
wherein the first connecting device comprises at least one link guide, and
wherein the first locking device has at least one locking recess or at least one locking projection, and
wherein the first locking device is at or in the vicinity of the first connecting device and is at least partially integrated into the first connecting device.

12. The child seat according to claim 11 , wherein the headrest comprises a rear headrest part and a front headrest part,
wherein the front headrest part and the rear headrest part are formed by respectively different, structurally delimited elements or
the first or the third connecting device or the first locking device is configured on the rear headrest part or
wherein the front headrest part forms the side cheeks.

13. A child seat mountable on a motor vehicle seat, comprising:
a seat area,
a backrest,
a headrest with at least one belt guide, and
a headrest inclination adjusting device for adjusting an inclination of the headrest relative to the backrest, and
wherein the headrest comprises side cheeks which co-rotate with the headrest when the inclination is adjusted, and
further comprising at least one second connecting device, movable with at least one degree of freedom, and a third connecting device including a swivel bearing for connecting the headrest and the backrest, and at least one second locking device for connecting the headrest and the backrest, and
wherein the second locking device or the second connecting device are at least half the height of the headrest and the side cheeks, and
wherein a relative position of the third connecting device with respect to the backrest remains unchanged when the inclination is changed, and
wherein the second locking device and the second connecting device are above the third connecting device, and
wherein the second connecting device or the second locking device has at least one stretchable and foldable part including a toggle lever part, or
wherein the second connecting device and the second locking device includes a common connecting and locking device.

14. The child seat according to claim 13 , wherein the headrest comprises a rear headrest part and a front headrest part,
wherein the front headrest part and the rear headrest part are formed by respectively different, structurally delimited elements or
the second or the third connecting device or the second locking device is configured on the rear headrest part or
wherein the front headrest part forms the side cheeks.
