Pivoting car seat mount

1. A device for facilitating the loading and unloading of a child into a child's car seat in a seat of an automobile, the device comprising:

a stationary base having a substantially flat top side, a bottom side, a front side, a rear side, a left side, and a right side, the bottom side configured for engaging the seat of the automobile;

a pivotable support having a substantially flat bottom side, a top side configured for selectively receiving and securing the child's car seat thereon, a front side, a rear side, a left side, and a right side, the bottom side configured for pivotable sliding on the top side of the stationary base;

at least one device locking mechanism fixed with the rear side of the stationary base and adapted to selectively secure the stationary base to the seat of the automobile;

a first pivot locking mechanism including a first actuator lever on the left side of the pivotable support, a first transmission rod fixed at a proximal end thereof with the first actuator lever, the first transmission rod fixed at a distal end thereof to a first latch assembly proximate the right side and the rear side of the pivotable support, the first latch assembly configured to detach from the stationary base when the first actuator lever is actuated;

a second pivot locking mechanism including a second actuator lever on the right side of the pivotable support, a second transmission rod fixed at a proximal end thereof with the second actuator lever, the second transmission rod fixed at a distal end thereof to a second latch assembly proximate the left side and rear side of the pivotable support, the second latch configured to detach from the stationary base when the second actuator lever is actuated;

whereby with the child's car seat secured to the top side of the pivotable support, and with the device locking mechanism securing the device to a left seat of the automobile, and with the first and second pivot locking mechanisms engaged such that the pivotable support is aligned with and locked with the stationary base in a locked position, the first actuator lever may be actuated to unlock the first latch assembly to allow the pivotable support to be pivoted around the second latch assembly in a counterclockwise direction, the child's car seat pivoted up to 90-degrees with respect to the stationary base in a counterclockwise pivoted position to facilitate loading and unloading of the child's car seat, and whereby with the device locking mechanism securing the device to a right seat of the automobile, the second actuator lever may be actuated to unlock the second latch assembly to allow the pivotable support to be pivoted around the first latch assembly in a clockwise direction, the child's car seat pivoted 90-degrees with respect to the stationary base in a clockwise pivoted position to facilitate loading and unloading of the child.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein the at least one device locking mechanism is configured to secure to an ISOFIX anchor point of the automobile.

3. The device of claim 2 wherein the at least one first locking mechanism includes an adjustable telescoping mechanism.

4. The device of claim 1 wherein the at least one first locking mechanism is configured to secure to a UAS Compatible LATCH-type anchor system of the automobile.

5. The device of claim 4 wherein the at least one first locking mechanism includes an adjustable telescoping mechanism.

6. The device of claim 1 wherein the pivotable support includes a first handle projecting away from the left side thereof proximate the front side thereof, and a second handle projecting away from the right side thereof proximate the front side thereof.

7. The device of claim 1 wherein the stationary base includes a stabilizing anti-rebound bar projecting downwardly from proximate the front side of the stationary base, the stabilizing anti-rebound bar adjustable in height and configured to engage a floor of the automobile to stabilize the stationary base.

8. The device of claim 7 wherein the stabilizing anti-rebound bar includes a height adjustment mechanism having at least a pair of telescoping members that are selectively mutually lockable.

9. The device of claim 7 wherein the stabilizing anti-rebound bar is selectively attachable to the stationary base with a stabilizing anti-rebound bar attachment mechanism.

10. The device of claim 1 wherein the top side of the pivotable support includes locking bars configured for fixing with the child's car seat.

11. The device of claim 1 wherein the top side of the pivotable support is substantially flat and includes a plurality of anchor points configured for anchoring the child's car seat thereto when engaged therewith.

12. The device of claim 1 where the flat top side of the stationary base includes an arched and inverted T-shaped groove, and wherein the bottom side of the pivotable support includes a projecting T-shaped tab configured for engagement with the inverted T-shaped groove, such that as the pivotable support pivots about either the first latch assembly or the second latch assembly, the T-shaped tab slides along the inverted T-shaped groove and retains the pivotable support onto the stationary base.

13. The device of claim 12 wherein the flat side of the stationary base includes a double-arched inverted T-shaped groove, a right-most arched groove terminating at the right side of the stationary base configured to accept the projecting T-shaped tab when the pivotable support pivots about the second latch assembly, and a left-most arched groove terminating at the left side of the stationary base configured to accept the projecting T-shaped tab when the pivotable support pivots about the first latch assembly.
