Description

[0001] Vertical booster

[0002] Field of technology

[0003] The utility model relates to the field of special seats intended for vehicles, and, in particular, to child car restraints.

[0004] State of the art

[0005] The closest analogue to the claimed solution is a child car seat consisting of a base, a seat with armrests, a backrest with sidewalls and a headrest, containing openings, grooves and fastenings for placing seat belts and a protective cape in the form of a fabric cover, while the rear wall of the backrest is made hollow and additionally contains longitudinal vertical stiffeners made in a stepped manner (see RU 197340, 21.04.2020).

[0006] The disadvantages of this analogue are that in order to secure the seat to the car with standard car belts, it is necessary to have not only the seat back, but also the seat cushion - it is through it that the lap part of the belt passes - and this additional detail complicates and weighs down the device, making it more difficult to install / remove and place the child in it.

[0007] Disclosure of a utility model

[0008] The technical result of the claimed utility model is: - increasing the safety of transporting a child. The above technical result is achieved by a vertical booster consisting of a rectangular rigid back, in which two openings are made at the top, in the middle and at the bottom, representing the upper left element of fastening the standard car belt, the upper right element of fastening the standard car belt, the middle left element of fastening the standard car belt, the middle right element of fastening the standard car belt, the lower left element of fastening the standard car belt and the lower right element of fastening the standard car belt.

[0009] Brief description of the drawings

[0010] Fig. 1 shows a general view of the vertical booster in four projections.

[0011] Fig. 2 shows the first variant of fastening the vertical booster to the standard car seat with the standard car belts (shown when placing the vertical booster on the right side of the car). This variant of fastening is used when the child needs to be fastened to the vertical booster with the standard car belts.

[0012] Fig. 3 shows the second variant of fastening the vertical booster to the standard car seat with the standard car belts (shown when the vertical booster is placed on the right side of the car). This variant of fastening is used when the child is fastened to the vertical booster with the five- or three-point belts built into the booster (not shown).

[0013] Implementation of a utility model

[0014] The vertical booster consists of a rectangular rigid back 5, in which two openings are made at the top, in the middle and at the bottom, representing the upper left element of the standard vehicle belt fastening 1, the upper right element of the standard vehicle belt fastening 2, the middle left element of the standard vehicle belt fastening 6, the middle right element of the standard vehicle belt fastening 7, the lower left element of the standard vehicle belt fastening 3 and the lower right element of the standard vehicle belt fastening 4.

[0015] Also, additionally, cutouts for the guides of the standard car belt 8 and 9 can be made in the vertical booster.

[0016] The vertical booster shown in the figures is used as follows.

[0017] The vertical booster is designed for the safe transportation of children, is installed vertically on the car seat and is secured with standard car belts (as shown in Figures 2 and 3), which are secured in the standard attachment points of standard car belts 10, 11 and 12.

[0018] When placed on the left side of the vehicle, the position of the belts is mirrored.

[0019] The option in figure 2 is used if the child is fastened to the vertical booster with standard car seat belts.

[0020] In this case, the shoulder (or diagonal) part of the standard car seat belt 13 passes through the standard car seat belt fastening elements 1 and 6 along the rear part of the vertical booster (shown by the dotted line), and, having exited at the standard car seat belt fastening element 6 on the side of the front part of the vertical booster, passes over the child’s shoulder, holding him in a vertical position.

[0021] In this case, the waist part of the standard car belt 14 passes along the waist, or along the legs or along the transition of the waist-legs of the child, being on the side of the front part of the vertical booster and holds the lower part of the child. In this case, the standard car belt performs the function of holding both the child and the vertical booster.

[0022] The option in Figure 3 is used if the child is fastened to the vertical booster with additional (not shown in the drawing and Figures 2 and 3) five- or three-point belts.

[0023] In this case, the shoulder (or diagonal) part of the standard car belt 13 passes from the rear part of the vertical booster, and the lap part of the standard car belt 14 passes, partially, on the left and right, along the front side of the vertical booster, and partially - from the rear side of the vertical booster (indicated by the dotted line), through the lower fastening elements of the standard car belt 3 and 4. In this case, the standard car belt performs the function of holding only the vertical booster.

[0024] Thus, the claimed design of the vertical booster is characterized by increased safety when transporting a child.
