Abstract
An automatic harness system (1) for a child safety seat comprising one tensioning web (3); a retractor device (2) configured to allow tightening of the tensioning web (3), a locking mechanism, a release mechanism is connected to the retractor device (2). The release mechanism comprises an actuator, where a movement of the actuator from a first position to a second position alternates the release mechanism from the first state to the second state, and vice versa. The actuator's position allows a user to identify whether the release mechanism is in the first state or in the second state.
Claims9
A harness system for a child safety seat comprising
- at least one tensioning web;
- a retractor device connected to a first end of the at least one tensioning web, the retractor device being configured to allow tightening of the tensioning web, thereby moving the tensioning web in a first direction, and the retractor device being configured to allow loosening of the tensioning web, thereby moving the tensioning web in a second direction;
- a locking mechanism comprising a first locking part that is connected to a second end of the tensioning web, and a second locking part that is configured to mate with the first locking part and secure the first locking part to the second locking part;
- a release mechanism connected to the retractor device, the release mechanism being configured to allow the retractor device to move the tensioning web in the first and the second direction when the release mechanism is in a first state, and the release mechanism being configured to prevent the retractor device to move the tensioning web in the second direction when the release mechanism is in a second state;
- where the release mechanism further comprises an actuator that is connected to the release mechanism, where a movement of the actuator from a first position to a second position alternates the release mechanism from the first state to the second state, and vice versa,
- wherein the actuator's position allows a user to identify whether the release mechanism is in the first state or in the second state,
- where the release mechanism comprises a first release module and/or a second release module that is configured to be arranged in the base of the child seat, and
- where the first release module is coupled to the second release module via a release cable that is adapted to transfer force applied in the first release module to the second release module and vice versa.
