Abstract

A safety belt adjustment mechanism for use on a safety seat. The seat including a backrest part and a seat part, each movable with respect to the seat base. The safety belt adjustment mechanism includes: a safety belt; a locking device on the seat part for locking the safety belt; a first pin on the seat part; and a second pin on the base; the first and second pins guide the safety belt; the safety belt passes through the locking device, around the first and second pins, and to the backrest part; and when the seat is adjusted from the sitting position to the lying position, the seat part moves toward the base to bring the first pin toward the base, such that a distance between the first and second pins shortens and the safety belt becomes loose without the locking device releasing the safety belt.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A safety belt adjustment mechanism disposed on a safety seat, the safety seat including a base and a seat, the seat being movably disposed on the base and being adjustable between a sitting position and a lying position, the seat including a backrest part and a seat part, wherein the safety belt adjustment mechanism comprises:
a locking device disposed on a forepart of the seat part, for locking or releasing a safety belt of the safety seat;
a first pin disposed on the seat part; and
a second pin disposed on the base,
wherein,
the first pin and the second pin are used to guide the safety belt;
in use, the safety belt sequentially passes through the locking device, around the first pin and the second pin, and extends to a front side of the backrest part along a rear side of the backrest part; and
when the seat is adjusted from the sitting position to the lying position, the seat part moves in a direction approaching the base to bring the first pin on the seat part toward a direction approaching the base, such that a distance between the first pin and the second pin becomes shorter.

2. The safety belt adjustment mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the backrest part and the seat part pivotally connect at a pivot of the base.

3. The safety belt adjustment mechanism according to claim 2 , wherein the first pin is disposed between the locking device and a pivot of the base, and the first pin is at a position close to the locking device.

4. The safety belt adjustment mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the backrest part and the seat part each are angularly adjustable with respect to the base.

5. The safety belt adjustment mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein when the seat is adjusted from the sitting position to the lying position, the locking device is in a locked state.

6. The safety belt adjustment mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the first pin is disposed on the forepart of the seat part.

7. The safety belt adjustment mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the locking device and the first pin are one component.

8. The safety belt adjustment mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the second pin is disposed on a forepart of the base.

9. The safety belt adjustment mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the safety belt includes an adjustment segment for adjusting a tightness of the safety belt and a protection segment for protecting a child, wherein the adjustment segment and the protection segment are connected with each other on a rear side of the backrest part.

10. A safety seat, wherein the safety seat uses the safety belt adjustment mechanism according to claim 1 .

11. A safety seat having a safety belt adjustment mechanism, the safety seat including a base and a seat, the seat being movable on the base, the seat having a sitting position and a lying position, the seat including a backrest part and a seat part, the safety belt adjustment mechanism comprising:
a safety belt;
a locking device on a forepart of the seat part and configured to lock or release the safety belt received by the locking device;
a first pin on the seat part; and
a second pin on the base,
wherein the locking device, the first pin, and the second pin are arranged to receive the safety belt and sequentially pass the safety belt through the locking device, around the first pin and the second pin, and to a front side of the backrest part by way of a rear side of the backrest part; and
wherein when the seat is adjusted from the sitting position to the lying position, the seat part moves toward the base thereby bringing the first pin toward the base such that a distance between the first pin and the second pin is reduced.
