[0001] Child seat device for accommodating a child
[0002] Description
[0003] The present invention relates to seating devices for children.
[0004] Child seats are commonplace, such as high chairs. These seats often have feet, for example, two runner-like feet or three or more leg sections designed to support the seat on the floor. They also typically have one or more legs that extend upwards to allow the seat to be positioned a certain distance from the floor. For safety reasons, the feet must provide sufficient support. A disadvantage of these child seats is that they often lack a storage or transport option and are quite bulky when not in use.Folding mechanisms are known, but do not always lead to the desired level of compactness and restrict the technical design of the child seat device.
[0005] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a child car seat that can be folded into a compact, unused state. It is also an object of the invention to provide an easy-to-use, safe, and cost-effective child car seat.
[0006] The problem is solved by a child seat device, in particular with the features of independent claim 1.
[0007] In particular, the problem according to a first aspect is solved by a child seat device for accommodating a child, comprising a foot section and a leg section. The foot section is designed to stand on a floor, and the leg section projects upwards from the foot section. The foot section comprises a first section of a fastening device, and the leg section comprises a second section of the fastening device, wherein the leg section is detachably attached (in particular locked) or attachable (in particular lockable) to the foot section by means of the fastening device, and wherein the fastening device preferably includes an operator, in particular a manual operator, for releasing and / or establishing a fastening, in particular a locking mechanism, between the leg section and the foot section.
[0008] The problem is solved according to a second aspect, in particular by a child seat device, in particular according to the first aspect, for accommodating a child, wherein the child seat device comprises a foot section and a leg section, wherein the foot section is configured to stand on a floor, wherein the leg section projects upwards from the foot section, wherein the foot section comprises a first section of a fastening device and the leg section comprises a second section of the fastening device, wherein the leg section is detachably attached (in particular locked) or attachable (in particular lockable) to the foot section by means of the fastening device, wherein the leg section is (at least in one state of use) hooked onto the foot section and / or wherein a lower section of the leg section, in particular a transverse segment of the leg section, supports the foot section, in particular a central section thereof.the first section of the fastening device is arranged at least predominantly above the second section of the fastening device. According to a third aspect, the problem is solved in particular by a child seat device, especially according to the first and / or second aspect, for accommodating a child, wherein the child seat device comprises a foot section and a leg section, wherein the foot section is configured to stand on a floor, wherein the leg section (at least in one state of use) projects upwards from the foot section and is preferably spaced (by at least 2 cm, preferably at least 5 cm or at least 10 cm and / or at most 40 cm or at most 20 cm) away from a floor, wherein the foot section comprises a first section of a fastening device and the leg section comprises a second section of the fastening device.wherein the leg section is detachably attached (in particular locked) or attachable (in particular lockable) to the foot section by means of the fastening device, wherein the leg section comprises a first side segment and a second side segment as well as a transverse segment. The first side element, second side element and transverse segment can form a U-shape, preferably rounded. The second section of the fastening device can be arranged on the transverse segment. The foot section can be star-shaped and / or radial in shape.
[0009] The term "floor" refers specifically to a flat surface such as a room floor. Unless otherwise stated, it is further assumed that the child safety seat is in use and that its foot section is resting on the floor. This applies particularly when referring to directions such as front, back, right, left, up, or down, and it is further assumed that a child properly secured in the child safety seat faces forward when looking straight ahead.
[0010] The foot section can consist of one or more sections that are directly connected to each other and / or via the leg section. For example, the foot section can comprise two skid-like feet that are connected to each other by a crossbar and / or via the leg section. Likewise, the foot section can comprise several, in particular three to eight, preferably four to six, radial sections extending from a central section of the foot section, which can, for example, extend uniformly and / or symmetrically (with respect to a point and / or a plane) away from the central section of the foot section.
[0011] The radial sections can be designed to rest entirely or with their respective distal ends on the floor. Similarly, the foot section can include a frame-like section designed to rest, at least substantially, entirely on the floor. This frame-like section can be, for example, circular, oval, or rectangular. Naturally, other configurations of the foot section are also conceivable, such as combinations of the above-mentioned designs.
[0012] The central section of the foot section (or the lowest point of the central section) and / or the leg section (or the lowest point of the leg section) may be spaced away from a floor (by at least 2 cm, preferably at least 5 cm or at least 10 cm and / or at most 40 cm or at most 20 cm).
[0013] The foot and leg sections are preferably distinguishable from each other by the fact that they can be separated.
[0014] The foot section and the leg section preferably overlap in the vertical direction (or viewed from the side), for example over a vertical distance of at least 2 cm, preferably at least 4 cm and / or at most 20 cm or at most 8 cm.
[0015] The foot section can be made primarily of wood and / or metal and / or (thermoplastic) plastic.
[0016] The foot section can have a (maximum) transverse extent (width) that is horizontally oriented and extends from one left side of the foot section to one right side of the foot section. The foot section can also have a (maximum) longitudinal extent (length), likewise horizontally oriented, that is perpendicular to the transverse extent. The (maximum) longitudinal extent can be at most twice, 1.5 times, or 1.2 times the size of the (maximum) transverse extent, and / or the (maximum) transverse extent can be at most twice, 1.5 times, or 1.2 times the size of the (maximum) longitudinal extent, for example, that the longitudinal and transverse extents are at least substantially equal.The foot section may also have a (maximum) height extent that is perpendicular to the longitudinal extent and perpendicular to the transverse extent, and which is smaller than the (maximum) longitudinal extent and / or the (maximum) transverse extent.
[0017] The foot section can (in the assembled state) have: a (maximum) longitudinal extent of at least 35 cm, preferably at least 55 cm and / or at most 90 cm; and / or a (maximum) transverse extent of at least 30 cm, preferably at least 42 cm and / or at most 60 cm; and / or a (maximum) vertical extent of at least 5 cm, preferably at least 11 cm and / or at most 30 cm, preferably at most 20 cm. The manual operator can, for example, be designed as a slider and / or a button, such as a push button and / or a rotary knob, and / or as a switch and / or in a similar manner, or include such elements.
[0018] The leg section can (in the assembled state; especially with adapter and / or without child seat) have: A (maximum) height extension of at least 15 cm, preferably at least 22 cm and / or at most 50 cm.
[0019] Preferably, the leg section includes a child seat and / or an adapter for the detachable attachment of a child seat at its upper end. A child seat is understood to be, in particular, a device for the seated, semi-seated, and / or reclining position of a child. The child seat may, for example, comprise a seat and a backrest, each of which may be rigid – for example, made of wood and / or plastic – or may be partially flexible, for example, comprising a frame and a surface material stretched within the frame, such as a textile. The seat and backrest may also be formed together, for example, as a single piece (e.g., as a shell) or by a common frame in which a surface material is stretched. The seat and / or backrest may be flat or curved (especially ergonomically) or partially flat and partially curved (generally independently of each other).The child seat may also include at least one cushion and / or a restraint system for restraining a child. The restraint system may be designed as a harness, for example, comprising a crotch strap and / or a lap belt and / or one or more shoulder straps. The restraint system, in particular the harness, may be made of fabric.
[0020] In some models, the child seat can be tilted relative to the leg section and / or its side segments. Specifically, the child seat can be tilted relative to the adapter and / or sections of the adapter. This allows the child seat to be adjusted between a more upright (relaxed) and a more reclined (less upright) configuration.
[0021] Preferably, the leg section extends upwards and backwards from the foot section when the leg section is attached to the foot section. It may be provided that the leg section extends from a longitudinally central region of the foot section and / or that the leg section is attached or attachable to the longitudinally central region of the foot section by means of the fastening device.
[0022] Preferably, one of the first and second sections, preferably the second section, is an insertion section, and the other of the first and second sections, preferably the first section, is a receiving section, wherein the insertion section is at least partially received by the receiving section, and in particular is at least partially surrounded by it, when the leg section is attached to the foot section. It can be provided that the first section and the second section, in particular the insertion section and the receiving section, engage with each other (in particular, engage in a form-fitting manner) when the leg section is attached to the foot section. The term "insertion section" does not necessarily mean (but can mean) that such a section does not receive or cannot receive other subsections, for example, a subsection of the receiving section.In some embodiments, the receiving section can comprise a receiving chamber, which is preferably designed as a cavity and / or recess. The receiving chamber can be defined by one or more side walls, the at least one of which may, but need not, be perforated. Preferably, the receiving chamber is open on at least one side, and in particular on exactly one side, so that the insertion section can be inserted into the receiving chamber.
[0023] In various embodiments, the insertion section can comprise a first, rigid projection (at least essentially immobile in itself and / or at its point of attachment) and / or the receiving space can have a first secondary space for receiving the first projection. Alternatively or additionally, the insertion section can comprise a second projection that is movable (either in its entirety, e.g., by translation and / or rotation and / or in itself, e.g., by deformation, in particular bending and / or folding or folding). Alternatively or additionally, the receiving space can have a second secondary space for receiving the second projection. Alternatively or additionally to the second, movable projection and second secondary space, the component forming the receiving space (foot section or leg section) can also have a movable latch, wherein the movable latch can be moved translationally and / or rotatably.
[0024] In some versions, the second projection is smaller, particularly shorter, than the first projection, and / or the second adjacent space is smaller, particularly shorter, than the first adjacent space. The first and / or second adjacent space can extend from (especially opposite) side walls of the recording space.
[0025] In some embodiments, the first projection at a distal end can be hook-shaped (in the form of a hook or comprising such a shape), and the first adjacent space can have a first recess for receiving the hook-shaped distal end. The recess can, for example, be configured as an opening (through the wall of the first adjacent space). Preferably, the first projection comprises a positioning section. Alternatively or additionally, the first projection is curved, at least in part. The positioning section can project from the (first) projection, in particular perpendicular to it. The positioning section can be received by a second recess (which may optionally be configured as an opening) of the first adjacent space, or the positioning section can abut the at least one side wall of the receiving space when the leg section is attached to the foot section.
[0026] Preferably, the second projection (and / or the movable latch) can be moved between a locking position and an unlocking position by the manual operator, in particular by sliding it. For this purpose, the manual operator and the second projection can be connected to each other, in particular rigidly and / or directly. More preferably, the second projection (and / or the movable latch) is biased towards the locking position, in particular by means of a spring, and / or more preferably, the second projection (and / or the movable latch) has a chamfer. The chamfer can be designed such that, when the insertion section is placed into the receiving section, the second projection (and / or the movable latch) is forced from the locking position into the unlocking position, in particular against the force of the spring, without the need for manual operation.
[0027] The first and second projections do not necessarily have to protrude globally from the insertion section. It may be intended that at least one of the first and second projections, in particular the first projection, only protrudes locally from the insertion element.
[0028] The second projection (and / or the movable bolt) can be directly pre-tensioned by an elastic element, e.g., a spring, in particular a coil spring. Alternatively or additionally, the manual operator and an intermediary element between the manual operator and the second projection (and / or movable bolt) can also be pre-tensioned by an elastic element, e.g., a spring, in particular a coil spring.
[0029] It can be provided that the first projection and the first adjacent space point in a first direction, and that the second projection and the second adjacent space (and / or the movable latch) point in a second direction, preferably opposite to the first direction, wherein preferably the first projection and the first adjacent space point forward when the leg section is attached to the foot section. In embodiments, the first projection is longer, in particular at least twice as long, as the second projection (and / or the movable latch).
[0030] In some embodiments, the leg section can be connected to the foot section by first inserting the first projection into the first adjacent space, while the second projection is still outside the receiving space and, in particular, has not yet been received in the second adjacent space. Specifically, it can be provided that the positioning section (and / or at least one other positioning element of the insertion section) engages in the second recess (and / or in at least one corresponding counter-structure of the receiving section) and thereby positions the insertion section relative to the receiving section in such a way that at least one degree of freedom of movement of the insertion section relative to the receiving section (preferably all degrees of freedom except one) is eliminated, wherein the at least one remaining degree of freedom is preferably rotation.The insertion section can then be moved (preferably rotated) so that the second projection approaches the second adjacent space until its approach ramp abuts the receiving section and is thereby forced into its unlocking position. Further movement (preferably rotation) in the same direction allows the second projection to engage with the second receiving space. A spring can then return the second projection to its locking position, allowing the hook-shaped distal section of the first projection to engage with the first recess. It may be designed so that the fastening between the foot section and the leg section can only be released after the manual operator is activated.
[0031] The leg section may comprise a first side segment, a second side segment, and a transverse segment, with the second section of the fastening device preferably being arranged on the transverse segment. The first and second side segments may be mirror images of each other. The first and second side segments may be connected to each other by the transverse segment. The first and second side segments may be curved at least in sections; alternatively or additionally, the transverse segment may be curved at least in sections. The first and second side segments may each transition into the transverse segment; in particular, the first and second side segments and the transverse segment may be formed in one piece (monolithically, manufactured from a single unit). Preferably, the first side segment is a right-hand side segment, optionally...around a right leg, and in the second side segment around a left side segment, possibly around a left leg.
[0032] The transverse segment may be guided through the second section of the fastening device in a rotationally secure manner. For this purpose, the transverse segment may have a non-circular cross-section, for example, a rectangular one. Alternatively or additionally, the transverse segment may have a lever section in the area where it passes through the first section of the fastening device, which is supported in the first section of the fastening device.
[0033] Preferably, the foot section has at least one foot, preferably two to eight feet, wherein the at least one foot has a central section or the feet are connected to each other in a central section (in particular the one already mentioned above), wherein the first section of the fastening device is arranged on and / or in the central section. It may be provided that the first section of the fastening device is located on a top and / or a bottom of the foot section, in particular the central section.
[0034] It may be provided that the transverse segment engages a section of the foot section, in particular the central section, when the leg section is attached to the foot section.
[0035] The leg section may be designed to be resilient, at least in part, and / or made of steel, in particular spring steel. Alternatively or additionally, the first and second side segments and / or the transverse segment (over at least 10 cm of extension in a preferred direction) may have a cross-section with a diameter of at most 3 cm, preferably at most 2 cm, optionally at most 1.0 cm or at most 0.8 cm and / or at least 0.4 cm.
[0036] Preferably, the leg section and child seat together with a load (e.g., a child) of 5 kg (alternatively: 3 kg or 9 kg) held in the child seat have a natural frequency of at least 0.4 Hz, preferably at least 0.8 Hz, and / or of at most 10 Hz, preferably of at most 5 Hz, for example, of 2 Hz.
[0037] The problem is further solved by a system comprising a foot section, a first leg section and a second leg section, wherein the first leg section is different from the second leg section, wherein the foot section is configured to stand on a floor, wherein optionally the first leg section or the second leg section can be detachably attached to the foot section by means of a fastening device in order to project upwards from the foot section, wherein the fastening device includes a manual operator.
[0038] The problem is further solved by a method for constructing a child seat device or system of the type described above, wherein the leg section, in particular a lower end section, preferably a crossbar and / or the second section of the attachment section, is guided section by section under the foot section, in particular a central section thereof (whereby, during this guiding, the entire leg section is moved, or at least a portion of the leg section weighing at least 100 g, at least 400 g, or at least 800 g), and is approached from below and connected to the foot section. Embodiments of the method are described above and below in the description of the child seat device or system, whereby corresponding functional features and / or purpose-oriented specifications can be implemented as concrete method steps.The problem is further solved by a method for assembling and disassembling a child seat device or system of the type described above, wherein the leg section is manually connected to and detached from the foot section. Embodiments of the method result from the above and subsequent description of the child seat device or system, whereby corresponding functional features and / or purpose-oriented specifications can be implemented as concrete method steps.
[0039] In preferred embodiments, the system or its components, in particular the first and second leg sections, can be designed according to the specifications described above.

[0050] Figure 1 shows a child seat device 100 according to the invention, comprising a foot section 120, a leg section 140, and a child seat with a backrest 151, a seat surface 152, and a footrest 154. The length of the foot section 120 can be greater than its height. The foot section has a central section 122 (which does not rest on the floor) from which feet 121 extend forward and backward. The leg section 140 extends upward from the central section 122 (and, according to the embodiment, also backward). The leg section 140 supports the backrest 151, the seat surface 152, and the footrest 154 (for the child's feet).
[0051] Figure 2 shows a foot section 120 in a bottom view. The foot section comprises several (specifically: four) feet 121, which extend radially from the central section 122, in particular such that the foot section 120 and especially the feet 121 are symmetrical with respect to an (imaginary; vertical) median plane. The foot section 120 has a longitudinal extent (from front to back; in the figure from top to bottom) that can be (significantly) greater than its transverse extent (from left to right).
[0052] The central section 122 can have a first section 161 designed as a receiving section 180 (see Fig. 5) (which is not visible in Figure 2 because it is concealed by a second section 162 belonging to the leg section 140 and designed as an insertion section 170). The insertion section 170 includes a manual operator 190 with which a lock between the first section 161 and the second section 162 can be released. The manual operator has an actuating section 191 on its front side. Figure 3 shows a side view of a foot section 120 of a child seat device according to the invention. The foot section has a central section 122 (which does not rest on the floor) and from which feet 121 extend forward and backward.
[0053] Figure 4 shows an enlarged view of the central section 122 of the foot section 120. Also visible is a fastening device 160 with a first section 161 belonging to the foot section 120 and a second section 162 belonging to the leg section 140, wherein the second section 162 can be configured as an insertion section 170 (see Fig. 8) which is inserted into the first section configured as a receiving section 180 (see Fig. 5).
[0054] 161 is received and can engage with it via a first projection 172 and a second projection 175 (see Fig. 7). More precisely, the receiving section 180 defines a receiving space 181 with a first adjacent space 182 and a second adjacent space 185, wherein the first adjacent space 182 and the second adjacent space 185 are formed on opposite sides of the receiving space 180 (see Fig. 5).
[0055] Figure 5 shows a sectional view of the central section 122, with the section running along the plane of symmetry of the central section 122. Besides the receiving section 180, which is designed as receiving chamber 181, the first secondary chamber 182 with the second recess 184 is visible. A first recess 183 (see Fig. 6) is designed as an opening. The second receiving chamber 185 (which may be (considerably) smaller than the first receiving chamber 182) is also visible, as are some sections of the side wall 186 of the receiving chamber 181. The receiving section may also have a recess 187 suitable for receiving a corresponding positioning element 177 of the insertion section 170 (see Fig. 8).
[0056] Figure 6 again shows a central section 122 of a foot section 120 of a child seat device 100. The beginnings of four feet 121 extending from the central section 122 are also visible. The central section 122 has on its underside a first section 161 of a fastening device 160, which is designed to connect to a second section (not shown here and belonging to a leg section 140).
[0057] The fastening device 160 cooperates with the first section 161 to fasten the leg section 140 to the foot section 120. The first section 161 is designed as a receiving section 180 with a receiving chamber 181 and a first secondary chamber 182. A second secondary chamber 185 (see Fig. 5) is not visible in Fig. 6. Starting from a side wall 186, the first secondary chamber 182 leads to a first recess 183.
[0058] Figure 7 shows a detailed sectional view of a second section 162 of a fastening device (locking device) 160 of a child seat device 100. The second section 162 comprises a first projection 172, which may be (slightly) curved and may have a hook-like shape at a distal end 173. The second section 172 further comprises a positioning section 174, which points at least approximately in the same direction as the (hook-like) distal section 173. As can be seen in Figure 4, the (hook-like) distal section 173 is suitable for engaging in a first recess 183 when the leg section 140 is connected to the foot section 120.
[0059] The positioning section 174 is preferably suited to engage in a second recess 184 when the leg section 140 is connected to the foot section 120. Opposite the first projection 172, the second section 162 has a second projection 175 (see Fig. 7). This is connected to a manual operator 190, and the second projection 175 and the manual operator 190 can be jointly forced by a spring 163 toward the locking position shown in the figure. (The spring is not entirely accurately depicted in that it is actually completely enclosed within the chamber-like cavity to have abutments at both ends.)
[0060] The manual operator 190 comprises an actuating section 191, which is designed to be actuated by a user, specifically to be pressed in a direction away from the second projection 175, or, in Fig. 7, to the right, so that the manual operator 190 moves to the right together with the second projection 175 and the second projection retracts into the second section 162. The second projection may have a chamfer 176 on its upper surface. In Figure 8, an insertion section 170 is shown from above (i.e., with the side that can be positioned in the receiving section), with a cover removed to expose the interior. It can be seen that a transverse segment 144 is guided through the insertion section 170 and may, in particular, have a lever section 145 in the area of the passage. The first projection 172 and the second projection 175, as well as its connection to the spring 163, are also visible.Furthermore, two positioning elements 177 can be seen.
[0061] Figure 9 shows a foot section 120 and a leg section 140 connected to it. The foot section 120 has a central section 122 (which does not rest on the floor) from which several (specifically, four) feet 121 extend such that each foot 121 rests on the floor with one end furthest from the central section 122. Two (somewhat) shorter feet 121 extend forward to the left and forward to the right, while two (somewhat) longer feet 121 extend backward to the left and backward to the right. The leg section has a first side segment 142 and a second side segment 143, which are connected at their lower ends by a transverse segment 144. Overall, the leg section preferably has an arc-shaped contour, with the transverse segment 144 interlocking with the central section 122.
[0062] Adapters 146 can be provided at the upper ends 141 of the leg section 140, more precisely a right adapter and a left adapter, the adapters 146 being designed for attaching a child seat.
[0063] Figure 10 shows a foot section 120 with a leg section 140 attached to it, wherein a child seat 150 is attached to the leg section 140 via adapters 146 provided at the upper ends 141 of the leg section 140. The child seat has a surrounding frame in which a seat surface 152 and a backrest 151 are arranged. The seat surface 152 and backrest 151 carry a harness 153 for restraining a child in the child seat device 100. Padding 155 is also provided above the harness 153.
[0064] It should be noted here that all the parts described above, considered individually and in any combination, especially the details shown in the drawings, are claimed to be essential to the invention. Modifications to this are familiar to those skilled in the art.
[0065] It should be further noted that all parts and features described above, individually—even without additional features described in the respective context, even if these have not been explicitly identified as optional features in the respective context, e.g., by using: in particular, preferably, for example, e.g., parentheses, etc.—or in combination or any sub-combination, are to be considered independent embodiments or further developments of the invention as defined in particular in the introduction and the claims.
