Claims47
A juvenile vehicle seat assembly comprising
- a seat, and
- a cup holder movably secured to the seat, the cup holder being positionable between a first position and a second position,
- wherein the cup holder is spaced apart from the seat by a first distance when the cup holder is in the first position and is spaced apart from the seat by a second distance when the cup holder is in the second position, the first distance being less than the second distance, and
- wherein the assembly further comprises a base, the seat being removably secured to the base, and the cup holder is movably secured to the base.
1 more element
A juvenile vehicle seat assembly comprising
- a seat,
- a base arranged to support the seat and form ed to include a cupholder receptor and to include first, second, and third engagement surfaces, and
- a cupholder mounted for movement relative to the base between a retracted position and an extended position, the cupholder including a cup receiver and a base connector coupled to the cup receiver and arranged to extend into the cupholder receptor formed in the base, the base connector including a first retainer arranged to confront the first and second engagement surfaces upon movement of the cupholder to the extended position to inhibit movement of the cupholder relative to the base and away from the extended position and arranged to confront the third engagement surface upon movement of the cupholder to the retracted position to inhibit movement of the cupholder relative to the base and toward the extended position.
A juvenile vehicle seat assembly comprising
- a base including a deck formed to include first and second openings, and a side wall formed to include a side opening, the deck and side wall cooperating to form a cupholder receptor located under the deck to receive a portion of a cupholder through the side opening formed in the side wall,
- a seat supported on the base, and
- a cupholder arranged to extend into the cupholder receptor through the side opening formed in the side wall and move relative to the base between an extended position and a retracted position, the cupholder including a first retainer arranged to extend into the first opening formed in the deck to inhibit movement of the cupholder relative to the base upon movement of the cupholder to the extended position and to extend into the second opening formed in the deck to inhibit movement of the cupholder relative to the base upon movement of the cupholder to the retracted position, the cupholder further including a second retainer arranged to extend into the second opening formed in the deck to inhibit movement of the cupholder from the extended position to a withdrawn position outside of the cupholder receptor formed in the base upon movement of the cupholder to the extended position.
A juvenile vehicle seat assembly comprising
- a base formed to include a cupholder receptor,
- a seat supported on the base to lie above the cupholder receptor, and
- a cupholder mounted for movement in the cupholder receptor formed in the base between a retracted position and an extended position, the cupholder including a base connector arranged to extend into and move in the cupholder receptor formed in the base, a cup receiver adapted to receive a cup therein and located to position a portion of the cup receiver under the seat upon movement of the cupholder to the retracted position and to position the cup receiver away from the seat upon movement of the cupholder to the extended position, and retainer means coupled to the base connector for contacting the base to inhibit movement of the cupholder relative to the base between the retracted position and the extended position.
