Abstract
A safety seat that includes a first base, a second base positioned on the first base and rotatable relative to the first base about an axis, a seat positioned on the second base and rotatable relative to the first base about the axis, and a lock disposed on the second base. The lock has a movable lock component configured to lock the first base with the second base. The safety seat further includes an actuator configured to disengage the movable lock component from the first base and permit the second base to rotate relative to the first base, and a link comprising a first end and a second end, the link extending between the movable lock component and the actuator. The first end contacts the movable lock component and the second end contacts the actuator.

A safety seat comprising:
- a first base;
- a second base positioned on the first base and rotatable relative to the first base about an axis;
- a seat positioned on the second base and rotatable relative to the first base about the axis;
- a lock disposed on the second base, the lock comprising a movable lock component configured to lock the first base with the second base;
- an actuator configured to disengage the movable lock component from the first base and permit the second base to rotate relative to the first base;
- and
- a link comprising a first end and a second end, the link extending between the movable lock component and the actuator,
- wherein
- the first end and the movable lock component are directly connected to each other forming a direct connection,
- the link does not comprise a rotatable connection at the axis, and
- the second end contacts the actuator.
A safety seat comprising:
- a first base;
- a second base positioned on the first base and rotatable relative to the first base about an axis;
- a seat positioned on the second base and rotatable relative to the first base about the axis;
- a lock disposed on the second base, the lock comprising a movable lock component configured to lock the first base with the second base;
- an actuator configured to disengage the movable lock component from the first base and permit the second base to rotate relative to the first base;
- and
- a cable comprising a first end and a second end, the cable extending between the movable lock component and the actuator, wherein
- the first end and the movable lock component are directly connected to each other forming a direct connection,
- the cable does not comprise a rotatable connection at the axis, and
- the second end is connected to the actuator.
A safety seat comprising:
- a first base;
- a second base comprising an inner region and an extension region extending radially outward of the inner region, the extension region disposed on the first base and rotatable relative to the first base about an axis;
- a seat positioned on the second base and rotatable relative to the first base about the axis;
- a lock disposed on the second base, the lock comprising a movable lock component configured to lock the first base with the second base at a position radially inward of the extension region of the second base, wherein the locking of the first base with the second base prevents rotation of the second base relative to the first base about the axis;
- an actuator configured to disengage the movable lock component from the first base and permit the second base to rotate relative to the first base;
- and
- a link comprising a first end and a second end, the link extending between the movable lock component and the actuator, wherein
- the link does not comprise a rotatable connection at the axis,
- the first end and movable lock component are connected by a one to one force connection, and
- the second end contacts the actuator.
