[0040] Fig. 13 shows an arrangement in which the third mounting device 300 is attached to the support structure.

[0041] Each mounting device 100, 200, 300 has a means-of-propulsion attachment section 103, 303. The means-of-propulsion attachment section 103, 303 is configured for attaching the mounting device 100, 200, 300 to the human-powered means of propulsion 1. The means-of-propulsion attachment section 103, 303 can be configured to couple the mounting device 100, 200, 300 to the means of propulsion at a front end section and / or a rear end section, for example, to a support structure 2 of the means of propulsion 1.

[0042] The means of locomotion mounting section 103, 303 can have at least one front mounting section 108, 110, 312, 322. The means of locomotion mounting section 103, 303 can have at least one rear mounting section 104, 106, 311, 321. In the embodiments shown, the means of locomotion mounting section 103, 303 has a total of four mounting sections 104, 106, 108, 110; 311, 312, 321, 322, more precisely two front mounting sections and two rear mounting sections.

[0043] Each fastening section 104, 106, 108, 110, 311, 312, 321, 322 can have a mounting opening. The mounting opening can be a through opening.

[0044] Each front mounting section 108, 110, 312, 322 can have a round through-hole.

[0045] Each rear mounting section 104, 106, 311, 321 can have a through-opening, which can be configured as a through-slot extending longitudinally along the mounting device 100, 200, 300. The through-slot can be configured to receive a mounting section 3. The mounting section 3 can be provided on the support structure 2, as shown in Fig. 13. The through-slot can be widened in its front region to accommodate the mounting section 3, for example, a mushroom-shaped mounting section. The through-slot can have a narrower region adjoining the widened front region, which can be brought into engagement with the mushroom-shaped mounting section 3 by sliding the mounting device 100, 200, 300 relative to the mounting section 3 into a coupling position, after the mushroom-shaped mounting section or...whose head was guided through the widened front area. In the coupling position, in this embodiment, each front mounting section 108, 110, 312, 322 is aligned with an opening in the means of transport 1 or in the support structure 2, so that the mounting device 100, 200, 300 can be locked in the coupling position by inserting a fastener into the front mounting section 108, 110, 312, 322 and into the opening in the means of transport or the support structure 2. A reverse arrangement is also possible.

[0046] The first mounting device 100 and the second mounting device 200 have a base section 102, which can be plate-shaped. In the embodiments shown in Figures 1 and 2, all fastening sections 104, 106, 108, 110 are provided in the base section 102.

[0047] Each mounting device 100, 200, 300 has a child seat coupling area 101, 201, 301. The child seat coupling area 101, 201, 301 is designed for coupling with a motor vehicle child seat 10.

[0048] In the first and second embodiments, the mounting device 100, 200 has a child seat coupling area 101, 201 which is designed for coupling with a motor vehicle coupling interface 20 of the motor vehicle child seat 10.

[0049] In the third embodiment, the mounting device 300 has a child seat coupling area 301 which is designed for coupling with a stroller coupling interface 24 on the motor vehicle child seat 10.

[0050] In the first and second embodiments, the child seat coupling area 101, 201 has one or more child seat coupling sections 112, 122, 126, 130, which is / are configured for coupling with a vehicle coupling interface 20 of the child seat 10. Each child seat coupling section 112, 122, 126, 130 can be configured for positive engagement with the vehicle coupling interface 20.

[0051] A first child seat coupling section 112, extending upwards from the base section 102, is provided on the base section 102. The first child seat coupling section 112 can be located approximately in the middle of the mounting device. The fastening sections 104, 106, 108, and 110 can be arranged around the first child seat coupling section 112.

[0052] The first child seat coupling section 112 can be provided, as shown in Fig. 1, in the form of a projection on the upper surface of the base section 102. The projection can be shaped like a truncated cone, the free end of which has a smaller diameter. A support section 118 can be provided at the free end of the projection, providing a support surface that is at least partially flat and can extend substantially horizontally when the mounting device 100 is mounted on the means of transport 1. The support section can be configured to support a child seat 10 mounted on the mounting device 100, either completely or at least partially.

[0053] In the illustrated embodiment, the first child seat coupling section 112 is configured to be received by a child seat. The first child seat coupling section 112 can be configured to define a pivot axis for the child seat 10, around which a child seat 10 placed on the first child seat coupling section 112 can rotate.

[0054] The first child seat coupling section 112 can optionally be configured to engage with the child seat. The first child seat coupling section 112 can have at least one recess 114, 116. In the illustrated embodiment, the first child seat coupling section 112 has two recesses 114, 116, which can be provided in a radial outer circumference of the projection, for example, on opposite sides. The first child seat coupling section 112 can be engaged by sections 32 appropriately formed on the child seat 10 to lock the child seat 10 to the first child seat coupling section 112. By engaging the child seat 10 with the first child seat coupling section 112, rotation of the child seat 10 about the first child seat coupling section 112 can be blocked and / or lifting of the vehicle child seat 10 from the mounting device 100 can be prevented.

[0055] The base section 102 is further equipped with a second child seat coupling section 122 and a third child seat coupling section 126, each designed for engagement with a corresponding coupling section 22, 23, for example, a front vehicle coupling section 22 or a rear vehicle coupling section 23, on the child seat 10. The coupling section 22, 23 can be designed as a restraint projection. The second child seat coupling section 122 and the third child seat coupling section 126 can be designed to engage a coupling section 22, 23 on the child seat 10, for example, the front vehicle coupling section 22 or the rear vehicle coupling section 23, externally or on the outside. The second child seat coupling section 122 can be a front child seat coupling section located on the front of the mounting device 100, 200.The third child seat coupling section 126 can be a rear child seat coupling section provided at the rear of the mounting device 100, 200.

[0056] The second child seat coupling section 122 and the third child seat coupling section 126 can each have a projection 124, 128, the projections 124, 128 extending towards each other. Each projection 124, 128 can extend substantially horizontally inwards and / or at a distance from a top surface of the base section 102.

[0057] The second child seat coupling section 122 and / or the third child seat coupling section 126 can be designed in the form of a hook, for example, a downward-facing or inward-facing hook. The second child seat coupling section 122 and / or the third child seat coupling section 126 can be designed such that they can engage the front vehicle coupling section 22 or the rear vehicle coupling section 23 of the child seat 10, respectively.

[0058] The second child seat coupling section 122 and the third child seat coupling section 126 can define a blocking section which, when the child seat 10 is mounted on the mounting device 100, 200, extends at least partially vertically over a coupling section 22, 23 of the child seat 10, thereby preventing the child seat 10 from lifting off. For example, the second child seat coupling section 122 and the third child seat coupling section 126 can be designed as rigid sections, in particular such that the front vehicle coupling section 22 and the rear vehicle coupling section 23 can only be engaged with the second child seat coupling section 122 and the third child seat coupling section 126 by a rotational movement of the child seat 10.The second child seat coupling section 122 and the third child seat coupling section 126 can thus be designed as retaining sections which are designed to receive a motor vehicle coupling section 22, 23 provided on the child seat 10 in the form of a retaining projection and to block the child seat 10 from lifting off the mounting device 100, 200.

[0059] As can be seen from Figures 3 to 5, the child seat coupling area 101, 201 can be arranged so that the motor vehicle child seat 10 can be placed on the child seat coupling area 101, 201 by a translational movement and can be brought into a locking position by a subsequent different movement, for example a rotational movement, in which an engagement between child seat coupling area 101, 201 and motor vehicle coupling interface 20 is established.

[0060] According to one embodiment, the first mounting device 100 can have a fourth child seat coupling section 130, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 8. The fourth child seat coupling section 130 can also be referred to as a locking section.

[0061] The fourth child seat coupling section 130 is designed to prevent rotation of a mounted child seat 10 relative to the mounting device 100, in particular to prevent the respective elements from disengaging when the front motor vehicle coupling section 22 and the rear motor vehicle coupling section 23 of the child seat are engaged with the second child seat coupling section 122 and the third child seat coupling section 126 respectively, or to ensure that the interacting elements remain engaged.

[0062] The fourth child seat coupling section 130 has a locking element 132. The locking element 132 is movable between a locking position (see Fig. 1), in which the locking element 132 projects from the fourth child seat coupling section 130, particularly towards an installed vehicle child seat 10 to engage with it, and an unlocked position (see Fig. 8), in which the locking element 132 is retracted and disengaged from an installed vehicle child seat 10. The locking element 132 can be biased towards the locking position by means of a compression element, such as a spring (not shown). The fourth child seat coupling section 130 can be provided on a rear section of the mounting device.

[0063] The assembly device 100 can further comprise an actuating component 134, which is operatively coupled to the locking component 132 and is configured such that, when actuated by a user, the locking component 132 can be moved into the unlocked position. The locking component 132 and the actuating component 134 can be arranged on opposite sections of the assembly device 100. The locking component 132 can be located in a rear section of the assembly device 100, and the actuating component 134 can be located in a front section of the assembly device. The locking component 132 and the actuating component 134 can be operatively coupled via a force transmission device 133, for example, a cable or a rod, as can be seen in Fig. 6. The actuating component 134 can have a loop (see Fig. 7).

[0064] In addition to or as an alternative to the fourth child seat coupling section 130, the mounting device 100, 200 can have a recess 114, 116 on the first child seat coupling section 112, into which an engagement element 32 of the motor vehicle coupling interface 20 of the child seat can engage in order to lock a rotation of the child seat 10 relative to the mounting device 100, 200.

[0065] As shown in Fig. 10, the car seat 10 can have a car coupling interface 20. A car coupling interface 20 is an interface used to attach the car seat 10 in a motor vehicle, for example, a car. The attachment can be made indirectly via a seat base, which can be attached to a vehicle seat via a vehicle seat mounting point and can remain on the vehicle seat when the car seat is removed.

[0066] As shown in Figures 10 and 11, the car seat 10 can have a stroller coupling interface 24. A stroller coupling interface is an interface not intended for coupling to motor vehicles, but for attaching the car seat to a stroller. The stroller coupling interface 24 can be provided in addition to the car seat coupling interface 20. The car seat coupling interface 20 is designed to be more robust than the stroller coupling interface 24, so that the car seat 10 can be securely held in place on the vehicle seat via the car seat coupling interface 20, even under greater force and in the event of a car accident.Since such high forces do not occur when transporting the motor vehicle child seat 10 on a stroller, the stroller coupling interface 24 can be designed to be weaker than the motor vehicle coupling interface 20.

[0067] The vehicle coupling interface 20 of the vehicle child seat 10 is designed to fit a corresponding child seat coupling area 101 of the mounting device 100. The child seat coupling area 101 can have the same coupling interface as a child seat coupling area on a vehicle seat base. In this way, a child seat 10 can be mounted via one and the same mechanical interface either on a seat base for a vehicle seat or on a mounting device 100 according to one of the disclosed embodiments.

[0068] As shown in Fig. 10, the vehicle coupling interface 20 of the child seat 10 can have a first vehicle coupling section 21. The first vehicle coupling section 21 can have a recess. A bottom section 30 of the recess is designed to come into contact with the support section 118.

[0069] Furthermore, the first motor vehicle coupling section 21 can have one or more engagement elements 32 arranged so that they can engage with the first child seat coupling section 112 to prevent the child seat from rotating onto and / or being lifted off the mounting device 100, 200. Each engagement element 32 can be movable between an extended position, in which it projects into the recess, and a retracted position, in which it does not project into the recess. As shown in Fig. 11, a release component 26 can be provided on the child seat 10, which can be actuated by a user and is operatively connected to an engagement element 32, for example, such that when the release component 26 is actuated, the engagement element 32 is moved into the retracted position.

[0070] The child seat 10 can alternatively or additionally have a further motor vehicle coupling section 22, 23 or several motor vehicle coupling sections, for example two motor vehicle coupling sections 22, 23, which are designed to interact with one or more child seat coupling sections 122, 126, 130 of the mounting device 100.

[0071] As can be clearly seen in Figs. 8, 10 and 11, the child seat 10 can have a second vehicle coupling section 22 at its front. At its rear, the child seat 10 can have a third vehicle coupling section 23. The second vehicle coupling section 22 and the third vehicle coupling section 23 can be designed as retaining projections that can engage with the second child seat coupling section 122 and the third child seat coupling section 126, respectively. The second vehicle coupling section 22 and the third vehicle coupling section 23 can be designed in the form of an upwardly open hook (see, for example, Fig. 11). 8). Fig. 8 shows a state in which the third motor vehicle coupling section 23 is engaged with the third child seat coupling section 126.

[0072] The stroller coupling interface 22 can be set up for engagement with the third mounting device 300.

[0073] In the embodiment shown in Figures 12 to 14, the third mounting device 300 has two supports, a left support 310 and a right support 320. The supports 310, 320 can be configured to support the motor vehicle child seat 10 in a suspended position.

[0074] The mounting device 300 has a child seat coupling area 301. The child seat coupling area 301 has two child seat coupling sections 314, 324, a left child seat coupling section 314 and a right child seat coupling section 324. The left child seat coupling section 314 can be provided on the left support 310. The right child seat coupling section 324 can be provided on the right support 320. Each child seat coupling section 314, 324 can be provided as an upwardly extending projection on the supports 310, 320. Each projection can be provided for coupling with a stroller coupling interface 24 on the motor vehicle child seat 10. As shown in Fig. 10, the stroller coupling interface 24 on the child seat 10 can be configured differently from the motor vehicle coupling interface 20.The stroller coupling interface 24 can have side receptacles 25, one receptacle on the left side of the child seat and one receptacle on the right side of the child seat. Each receptacle is designed to receive a respective child seat coupling section 314, 324.

[0075] The recess can accommodate a locking device (not shown in detail) that enables the child seat to be locked to the respective child seat coupling section. A locking component can be provided on the child seat to engage with the child seat coupling section 314, 324. The locking component can be operatively coupled to the release component 26 or actuating component on the child seat 10, for example, such that when the release component is actuated, the locking component is released from the respective child seat coupling section 314, 324 to allow the child seat 10 to be removed from the third mounting device 300.

[0076] The third mounting device 300 further comprises a child seat securing section 305, which is designed to additionally secure a child seat 10 coupled to the child seat coupling area 301 to the mounting device 300. The child seat securing section 305 can include a securing device 316, 326, for example, a safety strap 318, 328, which can be guided around a fastening section 16, 18 on the child seat 10 and can be fixed at both ends to the mounting device 300.
