Abstract

Provided is a waterproof processing protection mat for a child seat that is configured using a rear seat sheet, is extremely easy to handle, and prevents the occurrence of wrinkles and scratches on the seat sheet, hygiene problems such as drooling of infants and spilling of food and drinks, and the occurrence of discomfort and dirt on the child seat and seat sheet due to scattering of rainwater and spilling of water attached to an umbrella on rainy days. 【Solution means】The protection mat for a child seat according to this invention has a shape attached like a tail between the seat surface and the back surface of the protection mat, and includes a main body 1 of the protection mat, an extension part 2, and a tail part 3 (stopper). Moreover, the entire protection mat is subjected to waterproof processing and the tail part (stopper) is subjected to non-waterproof processing. Here, waterproof processing means functional processing in which one side of the surface of the fabric is covered with a film made of rubber or resin and water, air, water vapor, etc. are not allowed to pass through.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a protective mat for a child seat in a vehicle such as a passenger car, and more particularly to an attached tail portion (stopper) that is guided in a shape attached like a tail between the seating surface and the back surface of the protective mat. The seating portion of the protective mat and the front side of its back portion are waterproofed. The protective mat of the present application is a type of protective mat that spreads (with wings) or does not spread.

Background Art

[0002] When directly placing a child seat in the company car on the seat, not only physical problems such as wrinkles and scratches on the seat occur, but also hygiene problems such as drooling of infants and spills of food and drinks occur. Furthermore, on rainy days, there are problems of discomfort and dirt on the child seat and the seat due to splashing of rainwater and spills of water attached to the umbrella. Furthermore, conventionally, when using a child seat in a passenger car, a child seat configured separately from the vehicle body is generally used. For example, a child seat that uses the rear seat and is attached to the rear seat is known. In this case, the child seat is fixed to the rear seat by a seat belt or the like equipped in the vehicle. However, since it is configured separately and independently from the rear seat, it is removed from the rear seat after use. Also, although not shown, a child seat that is attachable to be stored in the rear seat and configured as a child seat only during use is known.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In view of the above points, the present invention is configured using the rear seat, is extremely easy to handle, and when directly placing a child seat in the vehicle on the seat, not only physical problems such as wrinkles or scratches on the seat occur, but also hygiene problems such as drooling of infants or spilling of food and drinks occur. Furthermore, during rainy days, the present invention aims to provide a protection mat (protection cover) for a child seat that solves problems such as discomfort and dirt on the child seat and the seat caused by splashing of rainwater or spilling of water adhering to an umbrella. Introduce the points to check when choosing a child seat protection mat. First, check whether there is an anti-slip function and also check whether it is compatible with ISOFIX. To protect the car seat, a child seat protection mat with an anti-slip function is recommended. If the child seat protection mat slips, the child seat body will move into a dangerous state. The anti-slip function can be used to prevent the child seat from slipping. Also, when using a child seat compatible with ISOFIX, check whether the protection mat will interfere with the installation. Some protection mats are not compatible with ISOFIX. Looking at the boundary between the seat and the backrest, if there is a gap on the left and right, it is compatible with ISOFIX. This can be used as a reference when choosing a protection mat. For a child seat that can be fixed with ISOFIX, if it is installed correctly, it can prevent the child seat from moving and lead to safety. Anti-slip not only prevents damage and dents on the car seat but is also an important function in terms of safety. When choosing a protection mat, pay attention to product details and catalog information that clearly state the anti-slip function. There are two types of child seat protection mats: the large type and the seat type. The large type covers from the seat to the backrest. The seat type is a protection mat that only covers the seat, and its simplicity of just placing it on the seat is attractive, but it is recommended to choose the large type. When using a child seat with a backrest, choose the large type only. There is also a seat type for booster seats. When using a child seat or junior seat with a backrest, a large-sized protective mat is recommended. The backrest of the child seat adheres closely to the car seat. Without using a large protective mat, the backrest will not be covered by the mat and will rub directly against the car seat, making it prone to scratches. When using a child seat with a backrest, there is no need to choose a seat-type protective mat. When using a booster seat instead of a child seat or junior seat, a seat-type protective mat is optimal. Since the booster seat has no backrest, a seat-type protective mat can also be used. However, if you are concerned about the displacement or damage of the backrest, use a large mat even when using a booster seat. Even large-sized types are easy to install and carry. When choosing, check whether the length of the belt can be adjusted. Large-sized types can be quickly installed by simply attaching them to the headrest with a buckle and are also easy to carry. They are not heavier than seat-type ones, and many products weighing around 500g are on the market, and many can be compactly stored when not in use. Since the weight and size are not a concern when carrying, large-sized types are recommended not only for private cars but also for rental cars and car-sharing. When choosing a large-sized type, also check whether the length of the belt at the headrest attachment part can be adjusted. It is convenient to be able to adjust the belt longer when, for example, you want to loosen the seat surface part and backrest part of the protective mat to correctly position the gap of the ISOFIX connector. Set the ISOFIX connector with the belt loosened, and then tighten the belt to firmly fix it. It is best to choose a large-sized protective mat. Even in situations where it needs to be removed frequently, such as in rental cars or car-sharing, it is easy to install, easy to fold and carry, and most importantly, it is important to prevent scratches and dents on the backrest.
