Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of child safety seats, and more specifically, to a child fixing and disassembling device for a child restraint system. Background Art

[0002] There are devices similar to those described in the present invention. The following are some of the references:

[0003] ES2574501: This utility model includes fixing a child sitting on a child restraint system (SRI) with three straps and three cushions. One head strap, one chest strap, and one leg strap. The straps completely surround the child restraint system (SRI) and the child from the outside, so that the child is completely subject to the child restraint system (SRI) and prevented from moving.

[0004] ES1287094: This utility model includes converting a child restraint system (SRI) into a life-saving board, where the child is fixed by three straps fixed to the chassis of the child restraint system (SRI) itself. One is tied to the head, one to the chest, and one to the legs. The method of converting the child restraint system (SRI) into a life-saving board is to place a rotating shaft between the backrest and the seat so that the backrest tilts to a horizontal position.

[0005] WO2020260553: The following utility model is the same as ES1287094, but without the tilting of the child restraint system (SRI). It includes fixing three straps to the chassis of the child restraint system (SRI) to fix the child. One is tied to the head, one to the chest, and one to the legs.

[0006] In the above three technologies, the fixation of the child is completely related to the child restraint system (SRI). On the contrary, our device manages to fix the child independently, which enables us to remove the fixed child without having to remove it together with the SRI. None of the above three technologies can remove the child from the fixed child restraint system (SRI). This is the strength of our invention. Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a child fixing and disassembling device for a child restraint system, which consists of two main parts, an upper part and a lower part. One is fixed to the chassis or housing of the child restraint system (hereinafter referred to as the lower part), and the other is fixed to the chassis or housing of the child restraint system. The other is fixed to the head (hereinafter referred to as the upper part). Both components are made of polypropylene with a thickness of 1.5 mm to ensure strength and rigidity.

[0008] This device is located between the chassis of the child restraint system (SRI) and its padding (along with the fabric). There is a Velcro strap at the top, exactly at the height of the head, for fixing the child's head, especially in the forehead area. The lower part (fixed to the chassis) has two straps, one for fixing the child's chest area and the other for fixing the legs.

[0009] Insert the top (fixed to the head) into the bottom using the 180 - millimeter - long horizontal hole located at the bottom, so that regardless of the position of the head (height - adjustable), the two parts always form a single block. Maintain the rigidity required to hold the child in place. The position of the top part can vary. The bottom is always fixed. Three straps pass through the vertical holes approximately 100 millimeters high at the back of the device. This slack is necessary to be able to more accurately select which part of the child is being fixed.

[0010] Both the upper and lower parts are fixed to the head and the chassis respectively, with snap - on connectors made of polymer. The upper part has two clicks to fix it to the head, while the lower part must be fixed at a 90 - degree angle because it covers part of the seat and part of the waist and requires six clicks to be properly fixed.

[0011] At the top, that is, under the head, there are two holes for the straps that fix the child to the child restraint system SRI to pass through his shoulders. The positions of these two holes may vary depending on the manufacturer of each chair.

[0012] The method of rescuing the child to be fixed is as follows: First, untie the fabric of the child restraint system SRI and place two fillings like fabric to fill the gap between the child and the child restraint system SRI. Next, the three key parts (head, chest, and legs) will be fixed, and the three straps are adjusted with the built - in Velcro, combining the pressure of the straps, acting on the fabric and padding of the child restraint system SRI, such as the fixing elements. Once the child is fixed, the rescuer must cut the safety belt that fixes the child to the child restraint system SRI. In this way, all that remains is to remove the child fixed by this device, as well as the fabric and padding.

[0013] This device does not contain any metal materials, so it is possible to take X - ray tests without removing the fixing device. The materials that make up this device are completely radiopaque.

[0014] The following are the improvements of this utility model over the prior art mentioned in this document:

[0015] Reduce additional injuries: By avoiding the need to remove the child restraint system SRI together with the child, the risk of additional movement is minimized, which may exacerbate existing injuries or even cause new injuries, especially in the case of spinal cord (spinal cord) or limb injuries.

[0016] Reduce intervention time: In emergency situations, the ability to quickly and effectively rescue children without having to manipulate the SRI is crucial. The speed of extraction can play a role in timely medical care.

[0017] Facilitate medical assessment and triage: By allowing quick access to the child without having to deal with the SRI, medical professionals can more quickly and effectively assess the child's condition when transferring the child to the hospital, which is crucial for providing appropriate medical care.

[0018] Stability protection: The device is designed for removal and helps maintain the stability and correct alignment of the child's body during rescue, which is crucial for preventing further injury, especially in trauma situations. Properly (horizontally) adapt to the ambulance stretcher to avoid jolting during transfer.

[0019] The internal extraction device is designed to be compatible with all models and types of SRI, which will ensure its universal usability in various situations. Description of the Drawings

[0025] The following further elaborates on the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings.

[0026] See Figure 1 , a child fixing and removing device for a child restraint system of the present utility model consists of two parts: the upper part ( Figure 2 ) and the lower part ( Figure 3 ). As shown in Figure 1As shown, the bottom of the part has a hole 6 that is 180 mm wide and 10 mm high, and the upper part is inserted through this hole 6. The upper part is fixed to the head of the child restraint system (SRI). This head can have several height positions, and its position is adjusted according to the measurement of the child. The hole 6 allows the upper part to slide down or up, functioning for the head position to keep the blocks together all the time so as to obtain rigidity when the child is fixed. The method of connecting the device to the child restraint system SRI chassis is to use snap connectors 4. There are two on the upper part and six on the lower part.

[0027] The device is located between the child restraint system SRI chassis and the padding next to the fabric, so in the 100% assembled child restraint system SRI, it is completely hidden from sight. See Figure 4 , the device placed in the child restraint system SRI housing can be seen.

[0028] To fix the child, the device has three straps. The first strap 1 is at the height of the head of the child restraint system SRI, 700 mm in length, and will be closed to fit the child's head, with velcro on both sides. The webbing is placed at the back of the device and passes through hole 2 and hole 3. The second waist strap 9 is for fixing the chest area, is placed at the back and passes through hole 7 and hole 8, and this webbing is 800 mm long.

[0029] The third waist strap 12 is for fixing the child's legs at the height of the femur, it is 800 mm long, is placed at the back of the device, and passes through hole 10 and hole 11.

[0030] The upper holes 2 and 3, the upper holes 7 and 8 in the lower part, and the holes 10 and 11 in the lower part, the lower holes are all 100 mm high and 10 mm wide, so that the rescuer can more accurately fix any part of the child by adjusting the height of the straps accordingly.

[0031] Holes 5 and 13 are for the seat belt to fix the child to the chair, passing through the shoulders and hooking the anchor located between the legs, and the size of these holes and their positions can vary according to the manufacturer of the child restraint system SRI.

[0032] The method of taking out the fixed child is as follows: First, untie the fabric and padding of the child restraint system SRI together so that they roll up.

[0033] Around the child so that they can be moved next to the device later. Next, the three key parts (head, chest, and legs) will be fixed by adjusting the three straps 1, 9, 12, and there is built-in velcro. The fabric and padding wrapped around the child, plus the pressure of the straps, keep the child fixed.

[0034] Once the child is secured, the rescuer must cut the two straps that protrude from holes 5 and 13. In this way, all that remains is to remove the child secured by the device, the fabric, and the padding (without the child restraint system SRI).

[0035] The device has no metal parts, allowing for radiological testing without the need to remove the securing device. The materials that make up the device are completely radiopaque. The two parts, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 , are both made of 1.5 mm thick polypropylene to ensure strength and stiffness. Straps 1, 9, and 12 are made of durable fabric and have velcro on both sides for fastening. The snap connector 4 used to attach the device to the child restraint system SRI is made of polymer.

[0036] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions, or substitutions made by those of ordinary skill in the art within the scope of the essence of the present utility model also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
