Description

[0001] Child seat with impact shield

[0002] Description

[0003] The present invention relates to a child seat with an integral impact shield. Child seats for transporting children, particularly in motor vehicles, are generally known. Many such child seats have so-called impact shields, which serve to prevent the child from falling out or sliding out of the child seat. Impact shields which are not integrally formed with the main body of the child seat are generally known from the prior art, e.g. from EP 3140156 A1. However, these are cumbersome to use and do not offer the same level of protection as integral impact shields (i.e., in particular, those which are attached to the child seat using the seat's own means), as they rely on fastening devices which are not part of the child seat, such as the vehicle's belt.

[0004] Child seats with an integral impact shield are also known in principle, but have various disadvantages. For example, EP 2809543 B1 and DE 102021117247 A1 show impact shields that can be detachably attached to the main body of the child seat using the seat's own fastening devices, and are thus "integral" in the above sense. However, these impact shields exhibit left / right symmetry, which is why the impact shield can also be attached "upside down." This, however, allows the impact shield to be improperly attached to the main body, which adversely affects user-friendliness and the child's safety. Furthermore, known fastening devices such as belt buckles are often either heavy and / or expensive.

[0005] EP 3787928 A1 discloses an impact shield that is permanently attached to the main body on one side and can thus be folded or pivoted into a functional position in which the child is accommodated. While this prevents improper attachment, it results in an overall inflexible and bulky assembly, which reduces user-friendliness. The object of the invention is to propose a child seat, in particular with a preferably integral impact shield, that is safe, lightweight, and / or cost-effective, and in particular offers protection against improper attachment.

[0006] The object of the invention is achieved according to a first aspect by a child seat, comprising a main body and an impact body, as well as a first fastening means and a first complement, as well as a second fastening means and a second complement; wherein the first fastening means is designed to cooperate with the first complement in order to releasably fasten the impact body to the main body, and wherein the second fastening means is designed to cooperate with the second complement in order to releasably fasten the impact body to the main body, wherein the first fastening means and the second complement are designed such that they cannot cooperate for the releasable connection of the impact body and the main body, and / or wherein the second fastening means and the first complement are designed such that they cannot cooperate for the releasable connection of the impact body and the main body.

[0007] It is an idea of ​​the present invention that the pairing of fastening means and complement prevents incorrect attachment of the impact shield to the main body.

[0008] In particular, a specific orientation of the impact shield relative to the main body can be specified by positioning the fastening elements and complements (for example, at a proximal or distal end of the impact shield and / or main body, or a left- or right-side arrangement around a child's receiving space). This is particularly advantageous when the impact shield requires a specific orientation to optimally unfold its holding function, but could, in principle, due to a geometrically symmetrical shape, for example, establish contact between the fastening elements and the complements in multiple orientations (for example, by attaching them in a mirror image or rotated by 180°). Incorrect attachment of the impact shield by the user can thus be easily avoided.

[0009] According to a second aspect (which can in particular be combined with the first aspect), the object is achieved in particular by a child seat which has a flexible connecting element and a fastening plate, wherein the fastening plate is connected to the flexible connecting element, and wherein the fastening plate can be guided through a passage opening, wherein the passage opening is surrounded by a contact section against which the fastening plate bears at least partially, wherein the contact section (in particular in comparison to a surrounding inner surface, for example of a first or second side section) is designed as a recess, so that the fastening plate is at least partially, in particular completely, embedded in the recess, wherein the passage opening is preferably an (or the subsequent) inner opening.

[0010] Such a design can prevent the mounting plate from being accidentally moved after it has been pushed through the through-opening. On the one hand, the recess forms a natural barrier against lateral slippage of the mounting plate; on the other hand, its installation in the recess prevents the mounting plate from being displaced from the outside. In particular, the recess or through-opening can be shaped to match the silhouette of the mounting plate in the mounted position. This promotes a tighter fit of the mounting plate and increases the security against lateral slippage.

[0011] It should be noted that the terms "fastening means" and "complement" are not to be understood restrictively, in the sense that any fastening means can also be a complement, and vice versa. In particular, the fastening means and complement can also be identical, as long as they work together to secure the impact shield.

[0012] It is also conceivable to design the first or second fastening element complement pair in such a way that interaction for fastening the impact shield is only possible in a certain orientation in order to further increase installation safety, for example by preventing upside-down or similar attachments.

[0013] The main body comprises at least a seat section (i.e. a section that accommodates the buttocks and parts of the legs of a child when the child seat is in use) and preferably also a back section (i.e. a section that accommodates the upper body of a child).

[0014] The seat section comprises at least one seat surface and, optionally, a first and second side section. The side sections are preferably designed as armrests or comprise such, preferably in such a way that a receiving area (first and second receiving area) is provided in the respective side section or between the seat surface and the respective side section—optionally armrest—in which a corresponding end section (first and second end section) of the impact shield is / are completely or partially received. The first and second side sections are, in particular, a left side section and a right side section.

[0015] The back section preferably comprises at least one backrest, optionally with side wings, and may further comprise a (height-adjustable) headrest, optionally with side wings, and optionally further elements.

[0016] The first side section preferably comprises or carries the first complement and / or fastening means and the second side section preferably carries or comprises the second complement and / or fastening means.

[0017] The main body or individual sections of the main body are preferably made of (solid) plastic, e.g. by injection molding, in particular of polypropylene (or by blow molding, in particular of polyethylene).

[0018] The impact shield is designed in such a way that it can connect the first side section and the second side section of the seat section to each other and thereby (together with the seat section and, if applicable, the back section) defines a space for a child.

[0019] The impact body can comprise a first end portion and a second end portion (in particular the end portions already mentioned above), wherein the first end portion and the second end portion are preferably designed as engagement portions that can fully or partially protrude into the receiving areas of the seat portion (in particular when the first fastening means cooperates with the first complement and the second fastening means cooperates with the second complement). The first end portion preferably comprises or supports the first fastening means and / or the second end portion preferably carries or comprises the second fastening means.

[0020] The impact shield may have a connecting section that extends from the first side section to the second side section of the seat section when the impact shield is attached to the main body, and / or that extends from the first end section to the second end section, in particular comprising the first end section and the second end section. The connecting section or individual sections of the connecting section are preferably made of (solid) plastic, e.g., by injection molding, in particular of polypropylene (or by blow molding, in particular of polyethylene).

[0021] The arrangement of the fastening means at the end sections of the impact shield results in a more stable attachment of the impact shield to the main body. In particular, this preferably allows for a left- or right-side arrangement of the first and second fastening means, respectively, whereby the child sits between the first and second end sections in a functional position of the impact shield (when the impact shield is attached to the main body and performs its holding function), at least when viewed from the front.

[0022] The impact shield may further comprise a padded section, which, when attached, is preferably oriented toward the child's receiving space to protect the child. The padded section may be made of a foamed plastic such as EPS or EPP. The padded section may, in particular, encompass the connecting section and cover it downwards, rearwardly, and / or upwardly.

[0023] According to a preferred embodiment, the first fastening means cooperates in a form-fitting manner with the first complement and / or the second fastening means cooperates in a form-fitting manner with the second complement.

[0024] The positive connection of the fastening means and the complement increases both the hold of the impact shield on the main body and the safety of operation and use. In particular, such an attachment prevents the user from becoming trapped or caught when attaching the impact shield, as well as the child from becoming trapped when using the child seat. According to a further preferred embodiment, the first fastening means with the first complement and / or the second fastening means with the second complement form at least one of a locking connection, a snap connection, a screw connection, and a clamp connection.

[0025] The above connections are advantageous because they provide a secure hold for the impact shield to the main body and are easy and repeatable to make and remove.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the first fastening means comprises (is) a belt buckle, in particular a belt tongue, and the first complement comprises (is) a belt buckle, in particular with an actuating button (which allows the complement to be released from the fastening means by actuating, in particular pressing and / or pushing and / or pulling).

[0027] Likewise, in one embodiment, the first / second fastening means can be designed at least in sections as a rod, wherein the first / second complement can be designed as a hook (preferably pivotable about an axis) designed to engage around the rod, for example in the manner of an Isofix connector.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment, the child seat has a tensioning means, which preferably comprises a belt and / or a cord and / or a chain, wherein the tensioning means is connected to the first and / or second fastening means, and wherein the tensioning means preferably has an actuating portion which can be actuated (in particular pulled) in order to tension the impact body more firmly against the main body, in particular a seat portion, when the first fastening means cooperates with the first complement and / or the second fastening means cooperates with the second complement.

[0029] The use of a clamping device can provide additional support for the impact shield. In particular, the fact that the clamping device has an actuating section that serves to "tighten" the impact shield to the main body by applying a clamping force provides the advantage of a stable connection between the impact shield and the main body. Furthermore, this also allows for easier attachment of the impact shield, as this is initially performed while the clamping device is not clamped, thus allowing for more play.

[0030] The clamping means can at least partially rest on the connecting section and / or extend at least partially along the connecting section and / or be guided at least partially on the connecting section, for which purpose the connecting section can have guide means.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment, the first fastening means and / or the first complement comprises a first release device, the actuation of which releases the fastening caused by the interaction of the first fastening means and the first complement, wherein the first release device is preferably accessible and actuatable from the outside when the first fastening means interacts with the first complement and the second fastening means interacts with the second complement (even when a child is accommodated in the child seat).Alternatively or additionally, the second fastening means and / or the second complement comprises a second release device, the actuation of which releases the connection caused by the interaction of the first and second complement, wherein the second release device is preferably inaccessible or at least difficult to access and / or at least partially concealed when the first fastening means interacts with the first complement and the second fastening means interacts with the second complement (and when a child is accommodated in the child seat).

[0032] By using a corresponding first release device, releasing an established connection between a complement and a fastening device is particularly easy. This is particularly advantageous because it ensures safer handling and, if necessary, simplifies or enables one-handed operation by the user.

[0033] The fact that the second release mechanism is inaccessible or at least difficult to access and / or at least partially concealed when not released also ensures that the impact shield cannot be completely released from the main body. Inaccessible means that direct activation of the second release mechanism is prevented or at least made more difficult by other dimensionally stable components of the child seat, as long as these are not moved away. For example, it is conceivable to conceal the second release mechanism with flaps or sliding sections in such a way that intervention from the outside is not immediately possible.

[0034] In this context, difficult to access is understood in particular to mean a positioning which ensures that a child in the child seat cannot reach the release device from a sitting or lying position. Difficult to access also means a partial or complete covering of the second release device by non-dimensionally stable components of the child seat. This is the case, for example, if the second release device, in a state in which the fastening means and complements are engaged with one another, is at least partially covered by textiles or padding which can be pushed aside or pressed down if necessary. Additionally or alternatively, difficult accessibility can occur if the body, in particular the torso, of a child properly seated in the child seat blocks the operation of the second release device.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment, the child seat further comprises a fastening plate and a flexible connecting element (in particular the fastening plate and the flexible connecting element already mentioned), wherein the fastening plate is designed to be connected to the flexible connecting element, and the flexible connecting element is preferably connected or connectable to the connecting section of the impact body, or is designed jointly, in particular monolithically, with the latter.

[0036] By connecting the flexible connecting element to the connecting section of the impact shield, a more stable attachment of the impact shield to the main body of the child seat can be achieved.

[0037] A flexible connecting element is understood to be an element which is not dimensionally stable in at least one direction of extension, such as a belt, a rope, a chain and / or the like.

[0038] The flexible connecting element can be designed, in particular, as a section of the tensioning device and preferably be a strap. In particular, the flexible connecting element can be identical to the tensioning device. The fastening plate can be designed to be connected to the flexible connecting element (in particular, a strap), e.g., as a three-web connector (with three webs and two parallel slots for passing a loop through them, whereby the loop can be formed, for example, by sewing two sections of the flexible connecting device together).

[0039] According to a further preferred embodiment, the fastening plate is connected to the flexible connecting element in a rotatable manner, preferably about a central web, in particular rotatable between a release position in which it rests at least partially substantially against the flexible connecting element, and a fastening position in which it projects away from the flexible connecting element, preferably by 30° to 90°.

[0040] This has the advantage that the fastening plate has at least one degree of freedom that is independent of the flexible connecting element. This makes it easier to thread the flexible connecting element through and through. "Rotatably connected" means that the fastening plate can be rotated about an axis without having to change the orientation of the flexible connecting element. For example, the connection between the fastening plate and the flexible connecting element can be designed as a loop. The fastening plate can then be rotated back and forth within the loop, at least within a certain angular range, without hitting the flexible connecting element.

[0041] A release position is understood to mean that the fastening plate is in a position in which its areal extent is at least substantially parallel to an extension direction of the flexible connecting element. If, for example, the flexible connecting element is designed as a belt, the connecting plate in this position rests at least partially against the belt in such a way that the areal extents of the belt and the connecting plate at least substantially coincide. The extension direction of the flexible connecting element is preferably the local extension direction in the section of the flexible connecting element in which it is connected to the fastening plate.A fastening position is understood to mean that the fastening plate is in a position in which its areal extent is at least substantially significantly different from, in particular orthogonal to, an extension direction of the flexible connecting element. For example, if the flexible connecting element is designed as a belt, the areal extents of the belt and the fastening plate form a comparatively large angle in this position (for example, an angle of at least 60° or at least 80°, in particular a right angle).

[0042] According to a further preferred embodiment, the first and / or second fastening means or the first and / or second complement comprise a preferably slot-like passage which is suitable for allowing the flexible connecting element to pass through, wherein the passage preferably extends through a first or second side section of a seat section of the main body and defines an outer opening and an inner opening, wherein the outer opening is located on a surface of the first or second side section directed away from a receiving space, and the inner opening is located on a surface of the first or second side section directed towards the receiving space.

[0043] A suitable strap guide allows for a particularly space-saving and efficient attachment of the flexible connecting element. This prevents the flexible fastening element from slipping or accidentally getting caught during use.

[0044] In particular, it is provided that the fastening plate can be pushed through the passage in the release position, for example because it preferably has a smaller cross-section than the passage, whereas it cannot be pushed through the passage in the fastening position, for example because it has a larger cross-section than the passage. Thus, the fastening plate and the passage can be considered as the first or second fastening means and the first or second complement, or vice versa.

[0045] The outer opening may be positioned higher than the inner opening, so that the flexible element extends (slightly) downward from the outer opening through the second side section (the second armrest). The outer opening may be positioned further forward than the lower opening, so that the flexible element extends rearward from the outer opening through the second side section (the second armrest).

[0046] The passage may be directed slightly outwards in relation to a forward direction (i.e. running from the inside at the back to the outside at the front), e.g. by 20° to 50°, in particular by 30° to 40°.

[0047] The inner opening can be surrounded by a contact section, in particular the contact section described above, against which the fastening plate can rest at least partially, possibly in particular with the two outer webs. The contact section can be formed by a recess, in particular the recess described above. The fastening plate can be fully or partially embedded in the contact section. The inner opening can be the through-opening described above.

[0048] The contact section is, in particular, the section where the fastening plate can be positioned. In particular, the contact section can be formed at least substantially by the base surface of the recess or sections thereof (excluding the area of ​​the through-opening).

[0049] In a further preferred embodiment, the outer opening and the inner opening are offset from one another so that they do not completely overlap one another from a viewing direction perpendicular to the surface of the side section.

[0050] This results in an oblique (relative to a surface normal of one of the openings) guidance of the flexible connecting element through the passage for the space in between, which is advantageous because it enables more efficient guidance of the flexible connecting element.

[0051] In a further preferred embodiment, a first, preferably rigid, more preferably hook-like, holding element is formed in a first edge region of the recess and / or the contact section, in particular in a forward and / or upward-facing edge region, so that a first section of the connecting plate comes to lie between the first holding element and the contact section when the fastening plate bears against the contact section, in particular when the first fastening means and the first complement interact and / or the second fastening means and the second complement interact, wherein the first holding element extends at least in sections beyond the first edge region of the contact section in order to form a projection which preferably projects beyond the contact section in the direction of the inner opening and / or the passage opening.

[0052] By projecting over (into) the projection formed by the retaining element, the fastening plate is prevented from accidentally jumping out of the recess.

[0053] Insofar as the contact area is formed by a recess, the first holding element can be designed as a projection of the edge area, which can be designed in a hook-like manner together with a side wall of the recess.

[0054] An edge region of the recess is understood to mean, in particular, the region in the immediate vicinity of the side walls of the recess. Preferably, the region that is no more than 10 mm, more preferably no more than 5 mm, more preferably no more than 2 mm, away from a side wall of the recess (at least in the direction of the passage opening and / or upwards) is understood to be an edge region.

[0055] The edge area of ​​the installation section is understood to be the area in the immediate vicinity of the part of the installation section that no longer forms the installation section itself. Particularly in the case of a recess, the edge area is the area closest to the side walls of the recess. In particular, the edge of the installation section refers to its outer edge, which may be defined by the side walls of the recess.

[0056] A further embodiment is preferred in which, in a second edge region of the recess and / or contact section, which is preferably opposite the first edge region, a second section of the connecting plate comes to lie between a second holding element and the contact section when the fastening plate bears against the contact section, in particular when the first fastening means and the first complement interact and / or the second fastening means and the second complement interact, the second holding element extending at least in sections beyond the second edge region of the contact section in order to form a projection which preferably projects beyond the contact section in the direction of the inner opening and / or the passage opening.

[0057] Adding an additional retaining element further increases the security against the mounting plate slipping out. It also makes it more difficult or even impossible for the mounting plate to slip out of the recess in a tilted position.

[0058] The second holding element is preferably designed to be flexible or bendable (but not dimensionally unstable) at least in sections, in particular as a snap hook.

[0059] In a further preferred embodiment, a distance in the direction of a surface normal of the contact section between the contact section and at least one of the first holding element and the second holding element is selected such that a rotation of the fastening plate relative to the flexible connecting element is limited to an angular range of less than 10°, preferably less than 5°, and preferably prevented, when the fastening plate comes to lie between the holding element(s) and the contact section.

[0060] Such an arrangement effectively "clamps" the fastening plate between the contact section and the retaining elements. This prevents the fastening plate from accidentally rotating into the release position, thus preventing the fastening plate from being accidentally released.

[0061] According to a further embodiment, a recess is provided in the first and / or second edge region of the recess, into which the projection can be moved, in particular pressed, in order to preferably protrude less far in the direction of the inner opening / through-opening and / or to allow the fastening plate to detach from the contact section.

[0062] This makes it particularly easy to separate the mounting plate when a release from the contact section is desired. The recess prevents the mounting plate from jamming during removal and ensures that the projection is not damaged by excessive stress by providing it with a space for retraction. It also allows the mounting plate to "snap" into the area between the retaining element(s) and the contact section, allowing for faster and easier operation.

[0063] A side of the second projection opposite the abutment portion may be aligned parallel to the abutment portion (when the second projection is not moved into the recess), while a side remote from the abutment portion may be aligned obliquely to it to act as a ramp, which may be used to facilitate easier "snap-in" of the mounting plate.

[0064] The second holding element may be the second release device described above.

[0065] Specifically, it can be provided that, in the release position, the fastening plate is pushed completely through the passage by means of the flexible connecting element, starting from the outer opening (so that a section of the flexible connecting element or, if applicable, the clamping device remains on the side of the outer opening). The fastening plate is then rotated (approximately) into the fastening position (or rotates due to the course of the passage—the inner opening is preferably diagonally below the outer opening—by gravity without further action), and the section remaining on the side of the outer opening is pulled further outward, possibly away from the impact shield.

[0066] The first section of the fastening plate is simultaneously pushed between the first projection and the contact section (or moves there simply by pulling due to the suitable geometry), while the second section of the fastening plate is still away from the contact section.

[0067] By continuing to pull, the second section also moves towards the contact section and presses the second projection into the recess so that the fastening plate can press further (if necessary completely) against the contact section. As soon as the fastening plate rests against the contact section, the second projection can snap back into its original position. To release the fastening plate from the contact section, the second projection can be manually moved (pressed) into the recess and the fastening plate can be removed from the contact section, rotated into the release position and pushed into the passage. By pulling on the outer section (of the flexible connecting element, if necessary on the chipping means), the fastening plate can be moved completely through the passage and can be released together with the flexible connecting means from the element having the passage.

[0068] The child seat can include a cover for the inner opening, in particular the elements described above for concealing the second release device. This is preferably (also) a (e.g., textile) cover (so-called soft goods), which can, for example, cover the entire seat surface. Other areas of the child seat, in particular the backrest and / or parts of the impact shield, can also be provided with covers. Alternatively or additionally, a rigid cover, e.g., in the form of a flap, can also be provided.

[0069] In the context of this application, the term "child seat" should be understood to include all types of child seats, such as infant carriers or so-called booster seats (and the like), unless the context indicates otherwise. Furthermore, directional references (such as front, back, right, left, top, bottom, inside, outside, side, etc.) should be understood to reflect the perspective of a child normally seated in a child seat and looking straight ahead. Where reference is made to children and their body parts, the reference can equally apply to dummies, in particular dummies from Humanetics (according to the version current or current at the time of filing or priority), for example, to dummies from the Q series.In particular, depending on the seat size, a suitable dummy can be selected from these dummies, for example a Q0, Q1, Q1, 5, Q3, Q6 and / or Q10, where the number after the Q corresponds to the approximate age of a child of comparable size and weight.

[0083] Fig. 13 shows a section of a child seat according to the invention with a cover. Figure 1 shows an oblique view of the child seat 100 comprising a main body 101 and an impact body 102. The receiving space 109, in which a child can be accommodated, is formed in the space between the main body 101 and the impact body 102.

[0084] Figure 2 is an exploded view of the child seat 100 from Figure 1. In particular, Figure 2 shows the components of the impact shield 102 and the main body 101 with greater clarity. The main body 101 consists of a back section 130, which has a backrest 131, a headrest 132, and side wings 133. The side wings 133 at least substantially delimit the sides of the receiving space 109.

[0085] In the perspective shown, the second end section 104 of the impact body 102 and the connecting section 106 can also be seen, which connects the second end section 104 to the first end section 103 (not shown here).

[0086] The seat section 120 of the child seat 100 comprises a first side section 121 and a second side section 122 with a first armrest 123 and a second armrest 124. In addition, the seat section 120 has a first receiving area 125 and a second receiving area 126, which are located in the side sections 121, 122 and between the armrests and the seat surface 127, respectively.

[0087] Figure 3 shows a more detailed representation of an impact body 102 as well as the fastening means 111, 112 and the tensioning means 115, or the flexible connecting element 219. The impact body 102 has guide means 107, which are suitable for guiding the tensioning means 115, here comprising a belt 222. From this perspective, the first end section 103 of the impact body 102 can also be seen. In the embodiment shown, the first fastening means 111 is realized by a belt buckle 211, which is attached to the end of the tensioning means 115, or belt 222. The tensioning means 115 can be tightened via an actuating section 116 as soon as the first fastening means is connected to the first complement (in particular when the second fastening means is also connected to the second complement). At the other end of the tensioning means 115, orThe second fastening means 112 in the form of a fastening plate 214 and the flexible connecting element 219 can be seen in the belt 222. The flexible connecting element 219 is also designed as a belt, namely as a section of the belt 222. One end of the belt, or rather of the flexible connecting element 219, is placed in a loop 220 around a central web 215 (hidden here) of the fastening plate 214, thereby allowing the fastening plate 214 to rotate freely around the flexible connecting element 219. To secure the loop 220, the end of the belt is sewn to itself with a seam 221.

[0088] Figure 4 shows an impact shield 102 in a position in which it is attached to a main body 101. In particular, in this illustration, the impact shield 102 is fastened to a seat section 120, and the end sections engage in the receiving areas (the first end section 103 can be seen engaging the first receiving area 125 of the first side section 121, while the second side is concealed). This view shows how the first fastening means 111 in the form of the belt buckle 211 engages with the first complement 113 in the form of a belt buckle 212. The tensioning means 115 is wrapped around the connecting section 106 of the impact shield 102, being protected from deviating from the desired path by the guide means 107. It can also be seen that in the attached position, the cushion section 105 points inwards toward the receiving space 109.

[0089] Figure 5 shows the entire fastening device 110 (i.e., the entirety of the means that allow the impact shield to be attached to the main body) in the attached state from a bird's eye view. It can be seen how the first fastening means 111 on the right side engages with the first complement 113. The strap 222 or tensioning means 115 runs from the first fastening means 111 (here: the belt buckle 211) at the first end section 103 over the outside of the connecting section 106 to the second fastening means 112 (here: comprising the fastening plate 214 and the flexible connecting element 219 formed by the end of the strap 222) at the second end section 104 of the impact shield 102. As can be seen, the cushion section 105 is located on a side of the connecting section 106 facing the receiving space 109.The second complement 114 here comprises the passage 231, through which the fastening plate 214 is guided together with the flexible connecting element 222, and the contact section 234, against which the fastening plate 214 comes to rest. Figure 6 shows a detailed view of the second fastening means 112 and the second complement 114. In particular, it can be seen how the fastening plate 214 has already been pushed through the passage 231 and now rests at least substantially flat on the contact section 234. Since the fastening plate 214 is aligned at least substantially transversely to the flexible connecting element 219 in the view shown, it is in the fastening position, which prevents it from slipping backwards through the passage 231.

[0090] Figure 7 shows the configuration from Figure 6 once again in an enlarged view (whereby Figure 7 also discloses an embodiment of the invention independently of the concrete context of the connection of an impact shield to a main body shown in Figures 5 and 6). Visible here are, in particular, the first section 217 of the fastening plate 214, a particularly central web 215 of the fastening plate 214, and the second section 218 of the fastening plate 214. The fastening plate 214 is held in the recess 235 between the contact section 234 and the first holding element 237, as well as between the contact section 234 and the second holding element 238. This prevents the fastening plate 214 from moving forward out of the recess 235. In the embodiment shown, the second holding element 238 is designed as a (section-wise) flexible hook, and the first holding element 237 merely as a (fixed) projection.The second retaining element 238 has a flexible arm 239 and a ramp 240 on its side facing away from the contact section 234. The ramp 240 allows the fastening plate to be easily snapped into the fastening position shown by pressing at least substantially from above onto the hook 239 and pushing it sideways due to the inclined surface of the ramp 240.

[0091] Figure 8 shows a sectional view of a seat portion 120 of a main body 101 and a safety body 102, so that an inner side of the second side portion 122 (facing the receiving space 109) can be seen. Similar to Fig. 7, a fastening plate 214 is in its fastening position and rests against a contact portion 234. A recess 241 can also be seen here, into which the second holding element 238 can be moved to enable the fastening plate 214 to be released from the contact portion, and subsequently the second fastening means 112 to be released from the second complement. Furthermore, it can be clearly seen that the cushion portion 105 encompasses the connecting portion 106 and covers it downwards, backwards, and in this case also upwards, and is thus (also) directed toward the receiving space 109.

[0092] Figure 9 shows the view from Figure 8 again in an enlarged scale. It can be seen how the first retaining element 237 and the second retaining element 238 prevent the fastening plate 214 from falling out of the recess 235. As explained above, the second retaining element 238 is located in front of the recess 241 and, in the embodiment shown, forms the second release device 118.

[0093] Figure 10 once again shows the seat section of a child seat according to the invention, without the impact shield 102. Among other things, the first release device 117 can be seen, which has an actuation button 213 that enables the associated fastening means to be released. Also visible are the outer opening 232 and the inner opening 233, with the outer opening 232 being arranged further forward and further outward than the inner opening 233.

[0094] Figure 11 shows a side view of the seat section shown in Figure 10 in a sectional view, wherein the section is not straight, but rather along the double-bent line at the bottom of Figure 10. The flexible connecting means 219 and the clamping means 115 are also not visible, so that the two slots 216 of the fastening plate 214, separated from each other by the central web 215, are clearly visible. It can also be seen that the outer opening 232 is arranged further up and further forward than the inner opening 233.

[0095] Figure 12 shows a rod 311 (in cross-section) forming a first fastening means 111, and a hook 313 rotatable about an axis 315, wherein the hook forms a first complement 113 and can be switched between a locking position in which it engages around the rod 311 (as shown) and an open position in which it releases the rod 311 (not shown; in particular, by rotating the hook 313 counterclockwise to release the opening shown on the right, so that the rod can be removed from the hook). Figure 13 shows part of a child seat according to the invention, wherein the seat area and the back section, and in particular also the side section of the seat area, are covered by a cover 108 (for example a textile, possibly padded cover).

[0096] At this point, it should be noted that all parts described above, viewed individually and in any combination, particularly the details shown in the drawings, are claimed as essential to the invention. Modifications to these are familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0097] Furthermore, it is pointed out that the broadest possible scope of protection is sought. In this respect, the disclosure contained in the claims can also be clarified by features that are described with further features (even without these further features being mandatory). It is explicitly pointed out that parentheses and the term "in particular" are intended to emphasize the optionality of features in the respective context (which does not mean, conversely, that without such identification, a feature is to be considered mandatory in the corresponding context). The term "element / element" is preferably intended to identify a coherent structure (or assembly), which in turn can be connected to at least one other structure (to form a possibly integral and / or inherently immobile overall structure) or can be delimited from all other structures.
