Claims11
A Child Restraint System attached to a vehicle seat, comprising a first part attached to a shell adjoining and secured to the child and a second part attached to the vehicle, further comprising a plurality of attachments between the first part and the second part, wherein at least one of said attachments is at the bottom of the shell which supports the shell and one of said attachments is at the rear of the shell relative to the facing direction of the child and said attachment at the rear of the shell comprises a force tunable mechanism comprising a plurality of shock absorbing elements to tune the force between its ends wherein the end attached to the first part moves in the same direction as the first part to reduce head acceleration, wherein said force tunable mechanism is enabled for adjustment by a user via a user interface to engage one or more of the plurality of shock-absorbing elements and therefore adapted to enable regulation a-priori, the force displacement characteristics of the first part relative to the second part during impact, thereby protecting the child under impact conditions.
A Child Restraint System comprising a first part attached to the child and a second part attached to the vehicle, further comprising a plurality of attachment means between the first part and the second part, wherein at least one of said attachment means is tunable with a tuning device and therefore adapted to enable a user a-priori, to regulate the force displacement characteristics of the first part relative to the second part during impact of the said at least one attachment means, thereby protecting the child under impact conditions, wherein, the child restraint system is adapted to face an occupant forward, and wherein at least one of said attachment means is attached to the rear of the first part and adapted to detach during a lateral movement of the rear of the first part relative to the second part as in a side impact of the vehicle, and is adapted to engage during forward movement of the first part relative to the second part as in a front impact of the vehicle.
A Child Restraint System, comprising a first part attached to a shell adjoining and secured to the child and a second part attached to the vehicle, said first part further having a bottom surface below the child and a front towards the facing direction of the child, and the second part having a surface below the child and a front towards the facing direction of the child, further comprising a plurality of attachments between the first part and the second part, wherein at least one of said attachments is a shock strip with a width and a thickness, and a connection section, attached between the first part at the front of the bottom surface below the child on one side of the connection section and attached at its other end of the connection section to the second part of Child Restraint System on the surface below the child at its front, said shock strip having a width substantially greater than its thickness, and adapted to twist during a side impact as the center of mass of the first part is designed to be behind the connection section, and adapted to bend during a front impact to reduce the peak loadings on the first part of the Child Restraint System and child.
