Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to seats, and more specifically, to a seat with safety stops. Background Technology

[0002] In existing car seats, there is often a gap between the load-bearing component and the support component. This gap may allow an infant's head to accidentally get stuck during activity. Due to the narrowness of the gap, the infant's head may become trapped, causing injury. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safety measure that can effectively prevent an infant's head from getting stuck in the gap.

[0003] Typically, the seat fabric in the support assembly is directly fixed to the frame of the support assembly. To prevent the seat fabric from arching upwards when the user picks up the infant, existing designs often have multiple webbing straps attached to the support assembly below the seat fabric. However, this design also poses a safety hazard, as the infant's head may accidentally get into the narrow space formed by the multiple webbing straps, causing the neck to be strangled and resulting in serious consequences. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safety measure that can both pull down the seat fabric and effectively prevent the infant from getting into the narrow space. Summary of the Invention

[0041] In the following, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although this disclosure is open to various modifications and alternatives, specific embodiments thereof are shown by way of example in the drawings. However, this disclosure should not be construed as limiting itself to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, it will cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives that fall within the spirit and scope of the embodiments.

[0042] The descriptions of directions such as "front," "back," "up," and "down" used in this document are for ease of understanding only. This invention is not limited to these directions, but can be adjusted according to actual circumstances. Although this application has been described with reference to typical embodiments, the terminology used is illustrative and exemplary, not restrictive.

[0043] In this disclosure, the seat 100 includes a load-bearing assembly 200, a support assembly 300, and a safety stop 500. The load-bearing assembly 200 is connectable to and located on top of the support assembly 300, and a gap is formed between the load-bearing assembly 200 and the support assembly 300. The safety stop 500 is disposed between the load-bearing assembly 200 and the support assembly 300 to cover the gap.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the support assembly 300 includes a base frame 320, the front end of which is connected to the load-bearing assembly 200. The gap between the base frame 320 and the load-bearing assembly 200 gradually increases from the front end of the base frame 320 toward the rear end. Since the support assembly 300 is located below the load-bearing assembly 200, it can be inferred that the base frame 320 is also located below the load-bearing assembly 200. The gap is located between the load-bearing assembly 200 and the base frame 320 in the vertical direction, and the gap gradually decreases from the rear end of the base frame 320 toward the front end. To prevent children from crawling from the area with a larger gap to the area with a smaller gap, for example, from the rear end of the base frame 320 to the front end, this disclosure adds a safety stop 500. The safety stop 500 is located between the front end and the rear end of the base frame 320 and connects the load-bearing assembly 200 and the support assembly 300 to cover the gap between the base frame 320 and the load-bearing assembly 200.

[0045] A seat cover 220 is provided on the support component 200 to provide seating space for infants and toddlers. The support component 300 can be mounted to other components or supported on the ground. In this disclosure, the safety stop 500 can be provided as a sheet-like component, made of the same material as the seat cover 220. Because the safety stop 500 pulls the seat cover 220 downward, the seat cover 220 will not arch upward when the user picks up the infant or toddler. Moreover, because the safety stop 500 blocks the gap between the support component 200 and the support component 300, it prevents the infant or toddler from squeezing into the gap and being choked, thus preventing the risk of the infant or toddler falling out of the seat 100.

[0046] The safety stop provided between the load-bearing component and the support component can be applied to various infant and toddler seats. The specific embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a seat 100 with a safety stop 500 provided thereon, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the seat 100 is mounted on the rocker arm 700 of a baby swing. In this embodiment, the baby swing is designed to soothe infants or help them fall asleep. According to this disclosure, the baby swing includes: a base 800 for stably supporting the seat 100 on the floor; the seat 100 located above the base 800; a carrier support 900 extending upward from the base 800 for connecting to the seat 100 and suspending the seat above the base 800; a rocker arm 700, one end of which is rotatably connected to the support assembly 300 of the seat 100, and the other end of which is rotatably or pivotally connected to the carrier support 900, such that the seat 100 can rotate relative to the rocker arm 700 and rock relative to the carrier support 900, for example, rocking relative to the carrier support 900 on the left and right sides; and a handle 600 connected to and located above the support assembly 200 for allowing the user to carry the seat 100.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 800 and the carrier support 900 of the baby swing can be integrated or separate. According to this disclosure, the base 800 is a rod-like structure that, together with the carrier support 900, forms an enclosed space. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the base 800 may also be formed from a continuous plate surface. When the seat 100 is stationary relative to the base 800, the central area of ​​the seat 100 is approximately directly above the base 800 and the enclosed space therein, providing stable support for the seat 100 and preventing it from tipping over. The carrier support 900 extends upward from the rear edge of the base 800. It is understood that wheels may be provided at the lower rear end of the carrier support 900, and the seat 100... Figure 1When placed on a horizontal surface, the wheels do not contact the ground. When it is necessary to change the usage location, the seat 100 can be tilted backward so that the wheels contact the ground and roll, thereby facilitating transportation. According to this disclosure, there are two wheels, located on opposite sides of the carrier support 900. Alternatively, the wheels can also be mounted on the base 800.

[0049] To facilitate infants' seating and to position them in different rocking directions, the seat 100 is configured to rotate relative to the rocker arm 700, the base 800, and the carrier support 900. According to this disclosure, as Figure 2 and Figure 5A As shown, the support component 200 of the seat 100 includes a frame 210 and a seat cover 220 covering the frame. Specifically, the frame 210 is arranged as a rod and forms a closed loop. The seat cover 220 is fitted outside the frame 210 and is at least partially located within the closed loop to support the infant. In this embodiment, the seat cover 220 has a seat portion 221 and a backrest portion 222. Correspondingly, a rigid support plate may also be provided in the seat cover 220. The support plate has a seat support plate and a backrest support plate corresponding to the seat portion 221 and the backrest portion 222, respectively, thereby better supporting the infant.

[0050] The support assembly 300 of the seat 100 includes a base frame 320, which is generally U-shaped. The two long sides of the U-shape are spaced apart and curved upwards, such that the ends of the two long sides extend outwards and upwards to the front end of the support assembly 200 and connect to the front end of the support assembly 200. Due to the curved structure of the base frame 320, the seat 100 can be placed on the ground as a cradle (e.g., Figure 2 As shown). Figure 5A As shown, the two ends of the two long sides of the base frame 320 are connected to the front end of the frame 210. The seat fabric 220 is at least partially located between the two long sides of the base frame 320.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 5A As shown, the gap is located between the extended surface formed by the U-shaped member and the support component 200. Specifically, when the seat 100 is placed on the ground, the gap is located between any long side of the U-shaped member and the support component 200, and between the ground on which the U-shaped member is placed and the support component 200. It is known that infants and young children may enter the gap, their heads may be stuck, or they may suffocate because they cannot escape the seat cloth 220 of the support component 200, thus causing injury. In other embodiments, the base frame 320 may be arranged as a continuous plate surface, in which case the gap is entirely located between the base frame 320 and the support component 200.

[0052] like Figure 2As shown, the support assembly 300 also includes two support members 310, which are spaced apart and opposite to each other in the left-right direction. The two support members 310 are respectively connected to the load-bearing assembly 200 and the base frame 320, and are located between the front and rear ends of the base frame 320. A portion of the gap between the base frame 320 and the load-bearing assembly 200 is located between the two support members 310. Specifically, as... Figure 2 and Figure 5A As shown, the two support members 310 are respectively connected to the two long sides of the frame 210 and the base frame 320 of the load-bearing assembly 200, and the seat cloth 220 is at least partially located between the two support members 310.

[0053] To prevent infants and young children from moving towards areas with small gaps between the base frame 320 and the load-bearing component 200, such as Figure 2 As shown, the safety stop 500 connects upward to the load-bearing assembly 200 and extends continuously between the two support members 310, thereby covering the gap between the base frame 320 and the load-bearing assembly 200. Preferably, the safety stop 500 extends continuously between the two support members 310 (i.e., continuously in the left-right direction) and connects upward to the load-bearing assembly 200 (also continuously in the vertical direction), meaning the safety stop 500 includes a continuous surface to cover the gap between the base frame 320 and the load-bearing assembly 200. Preferably, the safety stop 500 extends horizontally between the load-bearing assembly 200 and the two support members 310. Specifically, the safety stop 500 is made of flexible fabric, and when the safety stop 500 is connected between the load-bearing assembly 200 and the two support members 310, it is stretched and extends horizontally due to the tension of the load-bearing assembly 200 and the two support members 310. Optionally, the safety stop 500 extends horizontally in the vertical direction.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the safety stop 500 does not completely cover the gap between the base frame 320 and the load-bearing component 200. Specifically, there is a certain gap between the safety stop 500 and the two support members 310 in the lateral direction, and a gap between the safety stop 500 and the base frame 320 in the vertical direction. However, these gaps are too small for an infant's head to pass through. Of course, in other embodiments, the safety stop 500 can be tightly connected to the two support members 310 and extend downward to the base frame 320.

[0055] like Figure 2As shown, the upper side 510 of the safety barrier 500 can be fixed to the seat fabric 400, preferably to the connection between the seat portion 221 and the backrest portion 222, and more preferably, sewn to the connection. The lower side 520 of the safety barrier 500 is pulled downward until it is connected to two support members 310. Specifically, the left and right sides of the lower side 510 of the safety barrier 500 are connected to two support members 310, and the connection between the safety barrier 500 and the two support members 310 is detachable. This allows the safety barrier 500 to be straightened and tightened, thereby allowing the safety barrier 500 to stably cover the gap between the base frame 320 and the load-bearing component 200, preventing infants and young children from exerting force on the unstretched safety barrier 500, and increasing the gap between the safety barrier 500 and the support members 310 to allow infants and young children to pass through. In other embodiments, the safety barrier 500 can also be fixedly connected to the two support members 310. In other embodiments, the safety stop 500 may be connected to the two supports 310 at an intermediate position between the upper side 510 and the lower side 520.

[0056] Each support member 310 has a lower section and an upper section. The bottom end of the lower section is fixedly mounted to the middle of the two long sides of the base frame 320, and the top end of the upper section is connected to the corresponding position on the support assembly 200. The cross-sectional area of ​​the lower section is larger than that of the upper section to form a wider support surface at the bottom end, thereby providing more stable support on the base frame 320. The upper section is longer than the lower section, extending upward and outward from the junction with the lower section, thus providing a spacious and comfortable seating space for infants and toddlers. It is understood that the upper and lower sections of the support member 310 can be integrally formed. Furthermore, the bottom ends of the two support members 310 are connected by a connecting seat for an infant swing (such as...). Figure 1 (As shown) The connector is used to connect seat 100 to other components, such as the rocker arm of a baby swing.

[0057] In one embodiment of this disclosure, a fixing part 311 is provided at the lower section of each support member 310 facing the front end of the bearing assembly 200. The fixing part 311 is formed by a fixing rod 312, a recess 314, and a gap 315, specifically, as shown... Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown, the recess 314 is formed by recessing the side of the lower section of the support member 310 facing the front end of the bearing assembly 200. The fixing rod 312 is formed by the side of the lower section of the support member 310 facing the front end of the bearing assembly 200. The gap 315 is formed by recessing the side of the support member 310 facing another support member 310. The gap 315 communicates with the recess 314. The fixing rod 312 is formed between the recess 314 and the gap 315, allowing the lower side 520 of the safety stop 500 to be detachably connected to the support member 310 through the fixing part 311.

[0058] In other embodiments, the fixing part 311 may only have a fixing rod 312, and no recess is provided on any side of the lower section of the support member 310. The two ends of the fixing rod 312 are respectively connected to the side of the lower section and form a gap with the side of the lower section.

[0059] Based on the structure of the fixing part 311 described above, the safety stop 500 can also be adapted to the fixing part in various ways.

[0060] like Figure 2 , Figure 4A and Figure 6 As shown, the safety stop 500 includes a shield 530 and two connectors 522 connecting the shield 530. The two connectors 522 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the shield 530. The shield 530 is a continuous fabric body, used to fix it upward to the seat fabric 220. The two connectors 522 are used to detachably connect to the two support members 310 in a left-right direction. Specifically, the two connectors 522 are wound around the fixing rods 312 on the two support members 310 to straighten and tighten the shield 530.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, each connector 522 has a connecting portion 523, a connecting portion 524, and a winding portion (not shown) located between the connecting portion 523 and the connecting portion 524. The connecting portion 523 is connected to the baffle plate 530, the winding portion is wound around the corresponding fixing rod 312, and the connecting portions 524 of the two connectors 522 are connected to each other. Specifically, the winding portions of the two connectors 522 pass through the connecting portion 522 in sequence. Figure 3B The recesses 314 and slits 315 of the corresponding support members 310 extend first towards the fixing rod 312, then in the opposite direction away from the fixing rod 312, thereby wrapping around the fixing rod 312, and then continuing to extend towards each other, finally connecting with each other through the two connecting portions 524 on the two connectors 522. Optionally, the two connecting portions 524 of the two connectors 522 can be connected by directly fastening; or, the two connecting portions 524 of the two connectors 522 can be provided with a first connecting portion 5241 and a second connecting portion 5242 that can cooperate with each other. The first connecting portion 5241 and the second connecting portion 5242 can be a male and female buckle, a button and a buttonhole, the hook side and the rough side of Velcro, etc. Figure 2 As shown, the shielding piece 530 and the connector 522 are made of different materials, and the connecting portion 523 of the connector 522 is connected to the shielding piece 530 by stitching. However, in other embodiments, the shielding piece 530 and the connector 522 can be integrally formed, that is, made of the same material.

[0062] In other embodiments, such as Figure 2Each connector 522 shown has a connecting portion 524 that can be directly connected to the cover plate 530. For example, the connecting portion 524 and the cover plate 530 are provided with male and female buckles, buttons and buttonholes, hook and loop sides of Velcro, etc. that can be connected to each other.

[0063] Figures 4A-4C A schematic diagram of a seat with a safety stop 500 provided thereon is shown according to an embodiment. The second side 520 of the safety stop 500 is provided with two connectors 522 and a wrapping member 525. Each connector 522 is provided with a connecting portion 523, a connecting portion 524, and a wrapping portion 526 located between the connecting portion 523 and the connecting portion 524. The connecting portion 523 is connected to the shield 530. The wrapping portion 526 wraps around the corresponding fixing rod 312. The connecting portion 524 wraps around the wrapping member 525 to indirectly connect with the shield 530. Specifically, the connecting portion 524 includes a first connecting portion 5241, a second connecting portion 5242, and a surrounding portion 5243 located between the first connecting portion 5241 and the second connecting portion 5242. The surrounding portion 5243 surrounds the wrapping member 525. The first connecting portion 5241 and the second connecting portion 5242 are located on the same side of the wrapping member 525 and are connected to each other. Optionally, the winding direction of the winding portion 526 is opposite to the winding direction of the wrapping portion 5243.

[0064] like Figures 4A-4C As shown, the wrapping member 525 is connected to the shielding plate 530 via a connecting strap 527. The wrapping member 525 has three parallel and spaced-apart rods. Specifically, the wrapping member 525 is arranged in a zigzag pattern. The two ends of the connecting strap 527 are respectively connected to the shielding plate 530, and the connecting strap 527 wraps around the middle rod of the wrapping member 525, thereby connecting the wrapping member 525 to the shielding plate 530. The two wrapping portions 5243 of the two connecting members 522 wrap around the remaining two rods of the wrapping member 525, thereby connecting the two connecting members 522 to the wrapping member 525. In other embodiments, two wrapping members 525 may be provided, and two connectors 522 are connected to the shielding plate 530 in a one-to-one correspondence with the two wrapping members 525 respectively. The two wrapping members 525 are connected to the shielding plate 530 through corresponding connecting strips 527. Each wrapping member 525 is provided with two parallel and spaced rods. Specifically, each wrapping member 525 is arranged in a U-shape, with one rod for the corresponding connecting strip 527 to wrap around, and the other rod for the corresponding connector 522 to wrap around.

[0065] like Figures 4A-4C As shown, the two connectors 522 are connected to each other by a connecting strip 527, and the two connectors 522 and the connecting strip 527 are arranged as one piece. Specifically, the two connectors 522 and the connecting strip 527 can be arranged as a strip.

[0066] like Figures 4A-4C As shown, the first connecting part 5241 and the second connecting part 5242 can be a male and female buckle, a button and a buttonhole, the hook side and the rough side of Velcro, or they can be connected by fastening each other.

[0067] Each connector 522's winding portion 526 passes sequentially through the corresponding support member 310's recess 314 and gap 315, extending first towards the fixed rod 312 and then in the opposite direction away from the fixed rod 312, thus winding around the fixed rod 312. The surrounding portion 5243 extends first away from the fixed rod 312 and then towards the fixed rod 312, thus winding around one of the connecting members 525. This allows the first connecting portion 5241 and the second connecting portion 5242 to be located on the same side of the connecting member 525 and connected together. The opposite winding directions of the winding portion 526 and the surrounding portion 5243 enhance the connection strength between the connector 522 and the support member 310.

[0068] In other embodiments, the connector 522 may also be a locking hole connected to the cover plate 530. The locking hole has an elastic locking function, allowing a closed loop to be formed when the fixing rod 312 is not hooked. When the fixing rod 312 needs to be hooked, the operating part of the locking hole can be pressed to make the locking hole set as a non-closed loop. After the fixing rod 312 enters the locking hole, the operating part will return to its original position due to the elastic force, so that the locking member is set as a closed loop again, thereby connecting the connector 522 to the fixing rod 312.

[0069] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the structure of the fixing part 311 is generally the same as that of the fixing part 311 in the above embodiment, except that the fixing rod 312 is broken along its extension direction to form a notch 313, such as Figure 5A and Figure 5B As shown.

[0070] To accommodate the fixing rod 312 with notch 313, such as Figure 6 As shown, the connecting portion 524 of the same connector 522 is connected to the connecting portion 523 to indirectly connect with the shield 530. The connecting portion 523, the winding portion 526, and the connecting portion 524 of the two connectors 522 are interconnected to form a collar. This collar can be fitted onto the fixed rod 312 through the notch 313. Along the extension direction of the fixed rod 312, the width of the notch 313 is smaller than the width of the winding portion 526. This allows the winding portion 526 to move from one side of the fixed rod 312 to the other side through the notch 313, allowing the fixed rod 312 to enter the collar. Then, the winding portion 526 is stretched up and down to cover the notch 313 and hook onto the fixed rod 312, thereby allowing the safety stop 520 to hook onto the support 310. This design facilitates quick installation or removal of the safety stop by the user.

[0071] like Figure 6 As shown, notch 313 is located in the middle of fixing rod 312. In other embodiments, notch 313 may also be located at the end of fixing rod 312.

[0072] Figure 7 This is a perspective view of a seat 100 with a safety stop 500 disposed thereon, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, similar to the aforementioned Embodiment 1, the supporting component 200 includes a frame 210 (e.g., Figure 12 (As shown), a seat cover 220 is enclosed within the frame 210, and a rigid support plate 230 is located within the seat cover 220. The seat cover 220, in addition to the seat portion 221 and the backrest portion 222, also has a leg rest portion 223. The support plate 230 has a seat support plate 231 and a leg rest support plate 233 corresponding to the seat portion 221 and the leg rest portion 223, respectively. The backrest portion 222 does not have a backrest support plate; it only supports the infant. The frame 210 is a generally rectangular frame.

[0073] like Figure 7 As shown, similar to Embodiment 1 above, the support assembly 300 includes a base frame 320 and a support member 310. However, the base frame 320 is arranged in a generally rectangular frame shape, with one short side of the base frame 320 being the front end of the base frame 320, and one short side of the frame 210 being the front end of the frame 210. The support member 310 is located between the front end of the base frame 320 and the front end of the load-bearing assembly 200, and can be used to adjust the included angle between the front end of the base frame 320 and the front end of the load-bearing assembly 200.

[0074] The shape and material of the safety stop 500 in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here. It should be noted that the connection method of the safety stop 500 is different from that of the safety stop 500 in the above embodiments. In this embodiment, the safety stop 500 is connected between the seat fabric 220 of the bearing assembly 200 and the base frame 320 of the support assembly 300, and is not connected to the support member 310. Preferably, the left and right ends of the second side 520 of the safety stop 500 are respectively connected to the middle of the two long sides of the base frame 320. Specifically, the two connecting members 522 are respectively wound around the two long sides to connect the safety stop 500 to the base frame 320. The way the two connecting members 522 are connected to each other or to the shielding plate 530 can refer to the above embodiments, changing the way the connecting members 522 are wound around the fixing rod 312 to winding around the two long sides.

[0075] Unlike the previous embodiment, the two long sides of the base frame 320 are spaced apart, with each long side extending from the middle to both ends and curving slightly upwards. This design allows the support component 300 to rock up and down during use, thereby causing the connected load-bearing component 200 to rock, providing an experience similar to a cradle for infants and toddlers sitting in the seat 100, which not only helps to soothe infants and toddlers but also enhances the fun.

[0076] In addition, the support component 300 in this embodiment is also provided with an anti-sway bar 330. Specifically, the anti-sway bar 330 can be pivotally disposed at the rear end of the base frame 320. When the support component 300 needs to be rocked, the anti-sway bar 330 is housed within the rectangular frame of the base frame 320; when the support component 300 does not need to be rocked, the anti-sway bar 330 rotates from the base frame 320 toward the floor and is supported on the floor. The anti-sway bar 330 can be configured in various shapes, as long as it can be housed within the rectangular frame of the base frame 320 when folded and supported on the floor when unfolded. Preferably, the anti-sway bar 330 in this embodiment can be configured as a U-shaped member. The two spaced sides of the U-shaped member are adapted to the shape of the two long sides of the base frame 320, the middle side of the U-shaped member is adapted to the shape of the short side of the rear end of the base frame 320, and the short side of the U-shaped member can be pivotally connected to the short side of the base frame 320.

[0077] Furthermore, for the safety of infants and toddlers riding in the seat cover 220, this disclosure also includes a safety belt in the seat cover 220 to secure the infants and toddlers within the seat cover 220 and prevent accidental falls. The construction of the safety belt will be described in detail below.

[0078] Figures 8A-8B schematically shown Figure 7 The rear view of the seat cover of the car seat shows the Velcro fastening and detachment of the back of the seat cover.

[0079] In this embodiment, the seat fabric 220 can be integrally formed and have a reserved position for the support member 310 to be exposed. Furthermore, an opening 227 is provided on the back of the seat fabric 220 for fitting onto the frame 210. Preferably, this opening 227 can be provided on the leg rest portion 223 on the back of the seat fabric 220. The middle portion of the leg rest portion 223 is cut into a first portion 2231 and a second portion 2232. The first portion 2231 and the second portion 2232 are provided with a first mating part 2231A and a second mating part 2232A that are connected to each other. The seat portion 221 is provided with a third mating part 221A. Meanwhile, the first portion 2231... Parts 231 and 2232 are respectively provided with a fourth mating part 2231B and a fifth mating part 2232B connected to the third mating part 221A. The first mating part 2231A and the second mating part 2232A can be mating male and female buttons, buttons and buttonholes, hook and loop surfaces of Velcro, etc. The third mating part 221A and the fourth mating part 2231B can be mating male and female buttons, buttons and buttonholes, hook and loop surfaces of Velcro, etc. The third mating part 221A and the fifth mating part 2232B can be mating male and female buttons, buttons and buttonholes, hook and loop surfaces of Velcro, etc.

[0080] like Figure 8B As shown, when the first mating part 2231A and the second mating part 2232A are the hook side and the loop side of the hook and loop fastener, the third mating part 221A is one of the hook side and the loop side of the hook and loop fastener, the fourth mating part 2231B is the other of the hook side and the loop side of the hook and loop fastener, and the fifth mating part 2232B is the other of the hook side and the loop side of the hook and loop fastener, the extending direction of the first mating part 2231A and the extending direction of the fourth mating part 2231B intersect, and the extending direction of the second mating part 2232A and the extending direction of the fifth mating part 2232B intersect, preferably, they are perpendicular to each other.

[0081] Existing car seats typically connect directly to the load-bearing assembly without any rigid support structure, resulting in soft seats that are uncomfortable for infants and toddlers. Alternatively, plastic support structures are used on the load-bearing assembly to support the seat, leading to higher costs. To address this, this disclosure provides a support plate 230, which can be made of a PE board or corrugated board. The support plate is partially cut in the thickness direction, allowing the two cut portions to both connect to each other and bend in the same direction. This support plate is not only simple in structure but also significantly cheaper.

[0082] The specific application of the support plate in this disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0083] like Figure 9As shown, the seat cover 220 of this disclosure is provided with a support plate 230. As previously described, the support plate 230 may have a seat support plate 231 and a leg support plate 233 corresponding to the seat portion 221 and the leg rest portion 223 of the seat cover 220, respectively, thereby better supporting infants and providing them with a comfortable riding experience. In other embodiments, the support plate 230 may also include a backrest support plate corresponding to the backrest portion 222.

[0084] like Figure 10A , Figure 10B and Figure 11 As shown, the support plate 230 has a first surface 2301 and a second surface 2302 disposed opposite to each other in its thickness direction. A crack 234 is formed on the first surface 2301. This crack 234 does not extend from the first surface 2301 to the second surface 2302, but extends along a direction perpendicular to the thickness of the support plate 230 to the edge of the support plate 230. A crease 2303 is formed on the second surface 2302 opposite to the crack 234 in its thickness direction, such that the support plate 230 is divided into a seat support plate 231 and a leg support plate 233 by the crease 2303. The seat support plate 231 can rotate relative to the leg support plate 233 at the crease 2303. Preferably, the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 can rotate relative to each other towards the side where the crease 2303 is located (e.g., ...). Figure 10B as well as Figure 12 (As shown). Specifically, the support plate 230 is a PE board, and the seat support plate 231 and leg support plate 233 are formed by partially cutting a single PE board in the thickness direction. As can be seen from the above, since the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 are formed by cutting the same support plate 230, that is, the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 are integrally formed, no additional connecting parts are needed to connect the two. In addition, the connection method between the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 described above also applies to the connection between the seat support plate 231 and the back support plate, which will not be repeated here.

[0085] Figure 11 A schematic cross-sectional view of the partially cut support plate is shown, clearly showing that the first surface 2301 of the support plate 230 is cut open, while the second surface 2302 of the support plate 230 is not cut open.

[0086] In this embodiment, seat support plate 231 and leg support plate 233 can be provided only at the corresponding positions of seat portion 221 and leg rest portion 223 of seat fabric 200. The shape and size of seat support plate 231 and leg rest support plate 233 can be the same as the shape and size of seat portion 211 and leg rest portion 223. A crotch strap hole 235 is provided at the center of the front end of seat support plate 231 near leg rest support plate 233. Correspondingly, a crotch strap hole 235 is also provided at the corresponding position of seat portion 221 for crotch strap (described below) to pass through.

[0087] To ensure the connection strength between the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233, a reinforcing member 236 can be provided at the position of the second surface 2302 corresponding to the crease 2303. This reinforcing member 236 connects the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 across the crease 2303. The reinforcing member 236 is, for example, tape. When the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 are closed towards each other on the side of the first surface 2301, the reinforcing member 236 can provide a counterforce, effectively restricting the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 from continuing to move towards each other on the side of the first surface 2301, thereby preventing the support plate 230 from completely tearing apart at the crease 2303, causing the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 to completely separate.

[0088] like Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, a support strap 228 is fixedly installed on the frame 210. The support strap 228 is located between the front and rear ends of the frame 210 and is connected to the two long sides of the frame 210. The support strap 228 is used to support the support plate 230. Specifically, the support strap 228 is located on the side of the second surface 2302 away from the first surface 2301, and is positioned opposite to the crease 2303 in the thickness direction of the support plate 230. The seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 move towards each other towards the side where the crease 2303 is located to abut against the opposite two edges of the support strap 228, that is, the support strap 228 is sandwiched between the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233, thereby limiting the relative angle between the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233, so that the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 form a certain angle to conform to ergonomics, making the infants and young children sitting in the seat 100 more comfortable, while also having a simple structure and lower cost.

[0089] In this embodiment, in order to save costs, the support belt 228 can be made of webbing, but the support belt 228 of this disclosure is not limited to this, and can also be made of iron pipe or plastic, etc.

[0090] Figures 13A-13BThe views schematically illustrate the seat belt in both locked and unlocked states. As previously mentioned, for the safety of infants and toddlers riding in the seat 100, the seat 100 of this disclosure is also equipped with a seat belt. As shown, the seat belt includes two lap belts 224 connected to the backrest portion 222 and a crotch strap 225 connected to the seat portion 221. One end of the lap belts 224 is secured to the backrest portion 222, and the other end of the lap belts 224 is provided with a buckle 2241 (e.g., ...). Figure 13B (Best shown). One end of the crotch strap 225 is sewn to the center of the front end of the seat portion 221 near the leg rest portion 223, and the other end of the crotch strap 225 is connected to two female buckles 2261 that are respectively adapted to the male buckle 2241 (e.g. Figure 13B (Best shown). For aesthetics and comfort, the portion where the female buckle 2261 connects to the crotch strap 225 is typically covered by the seatbelt's protective plate 226. However, when locking and unlocking the female buckle 2261 and male buckle 2241, the female buckle 2261 can be exposed from the protective plate 226, allowing the user to easily access it for locking and unlocking. When the female buckle 2261 and male buckle 2241 are locked, the protective plate 226 also covers the male buckle 2241 to prevent infants from accidentally unlocking the locked female buckle 2261 and male buckle 2241. It should be noted that the length of the lap belt 224 is adjustable to accommodate infants of different sizes. When an infant or toddler is seated in seat 100, the infant's two legs are placed on either side of the crotch strap 225. The length of the waist belt 224 is adjusted according to the infant's size. Pulling the waist belt 224 engages and locks the male buckle 2241 into the female buckle 2261, thus confining the infant or toddler within seat 100. When the infant or toddler needs to be removed from seat 100, simply pull the male buckle 2241 out of the female buckle 2261 to release the waist belt 224 from the crotch strap 225.
