Abstract

An infant car seat includes a seat base and a stability leg. The stability leg includes an upper leg tube, a middle leg tube, a lower leg tube, a rotary member, a first latch and a second latch. The middle leg tube includes at least one hole. The lower leg tube includes at least one opening. The rotary member is assembled with the seat base and affixed to the upper leg tube. The first latch is disposed on a bottom of the upper leg tube and adapted to detachably engage with the at least one hole for constraining a movement between the upper leg tube and the middle leg tube. The second latch is disposed on a bottom of the middle leg tube, and adapted to detachably engage with the at least one opening for constraining a movement between the middle leg tube and the lower leg tube.

Claims (24)

1. An infant car seat, comprising:

a seat base; and

a stability leg disposed under the seat base, the stability leg comprising:

at least one leg tube;

an encircling mark disposed on the at least one leg tube; and

an indication member indicating that the stability leg is in a contact mode, where the stability leg abuts against a floor, or in a non-contact mode, where the stability leg is spaced from the floor, wherein when the stability leg is in the contact mode, the indication member shelters the encircling mark, and wherein in the non-contact mode, the indication member exposes the encircling mark.

2. The infant car seat of claim 1 , wherein the encircling mark is fixed to a bottom of the at least one leg tube.

3. The infant car seat of claim 1 , wherein the indication member is positioned at least partially below the encircling mark in the non-contact mode.

4. The infant car seat of claim 1 , wherein the indication member is slidable relative to the encircling mark.

5. The infant car seat of claim 1 , wherein the stability leg further comprises an elastic component operably disposed between the encircling mark and the indication member, wherein the elastic component is configured to bias the indication member toward the non-contact mode.

6. The infant car seat of claim 1 , wherein the top of the at least one leg tube is spaced from the bottom of the at least one leg tube in a leg direction, wherein when the contact indicator is in the non-contact mode, the encircling mark is visible 360° about the leg direction.

7. The infant car seat of claim 6 , wherein the indication member surrounds the encircling mark 360° about the leg direction in the contact mode.

8. An infant car seat, comprising:

a seat base; and

a stability leg disposed under the seat base, the stability leg is switchable between a contact mode, in which the stability leg abuts against a floor, and a non-contact mode, in which the stability leg is spaced from the floor, the stability leg comprising:

at least one leg member;

an encircling mark disposed on the at least one leg member; and

an indication member configured to shelter the encircling mark in the contact mode, and further configured to expose the encircling mark in the non-contact mode.

9. The infant car seat of claim 8 , wherein the encircling mark is fixed to a bottom of the at least one leg member.

10. The infant car seat of claim 8 , wherein the indication member is positioned at least partially below the encircling mark in the non-contact mode.

11. The infant car seat of claim 8 , wherein the indication member is slidable relative to the encircling mark.

12. The infant car seat of claim 8 , wherein the stability leg further comprises an elastic component operably disposed between the encircling mark and the indication member, wherein the elastic component is configured to bias the indication member toward the non-contact mode.

13. The infant car seat of claim 8 , wherein the top of the at least one leg member is spaced from the bottom of the at least one leg member in a leg direction, wherein when the contact indicator is in the non-contact mode, the encircling mark is visible 360° about the leg direction.

14. The infant car seat of claim 13 , wherein the indication member surrounds the encircling mark 360° about the leg direction in the contact mode.
