Child seat for a motor vehicle
Child seat for motor vehicles with a seat shell and backrest, at the upper end of which a head support ( 10 ) with lateral wings ( 11 ) projecting towards the front is disposed. The inclination of the head support ( 10 ), at least of a headrest ( 12 ) disposed between the two lateral wings ( 11 ) of the same, can be adjusted relative to the backrest (arrows 13, 14 ), in particular, between an upright, waking position “W” extending approximately parallel to the backrest and a resting or sleeping position “S” inclined towards the rear.
1. A child seat component for interconnection with a seat shell for a motor vehicle, adapted for use in both an upright, waking position and a resting or sleeping position, comprising:
a backrest having a head support and a head-support holder, the head support disposed at the upper end of the head-support holder, the head-support holder mounted at the upper end of the backrest, the head-support holder being tubular or plank-shaped, the head support having two lateral wings projecting towards the front; and
means for adjusting the head support relative to the backrest between the upright position extending approximately parallel to the backrest and the resting position inclined towards the rear, the head support further comprising a headrest disposed between the two lateral wings, the headrest adapted to be adjusted between the upright position and the resting position,
wherein the inclination of the headrest disposed between the two lateral wings is adapted to be adjusted stepwise,
wherein the head-support holder is mounted at the upper end of the backrest in a height-adjustable manner,
wherein the lateral wings projecting towards the front are moulded onto the upper end of the head-support holder in such a manner that a wedge-shaped recess is formed in the region between the two lateral wings, into which the headrest disposed between the lateral wings is rotatably adjusted, and
wherein the lower end of the headrest adjacent to the head-support holder is mounted in a rotatable manner about a horizontal, transverse axis on the backrest or the head-support holder, while means are provided in the upper region of the headrest, for a hook-in connection in at least two tilting positions relative to the backrest or to the head-support holder.
2. The child seat according to claim 1 , wherein the headrest, together with a rotational bearing corresponding to, and generally parallel to, the horizontal axis, is raised against the action of a spring, so that when the headrest is raised, the hook-in connection means for a first tilting position of the same is released, and the headrest is moved into a second tilting position and hooked into said second tilting position.
3. The child seat according to claim 2 , wherein the rotational bearing of the headrest comprises two bearing pins, which correspond with two oblong retainers disposed in the backrest or in the head-support holder, the retainers extending approximately parallel to the backrest or the head-support holder.
4. The child seat according to claim 1 , wherein the hook-in connection means comprises at least one positioning pin and at least one guide channel, the at least one positioning pin projecting laterally from the upper region of the headrest and on at least one side of the headrest, the positioning pin corresponding with the at least one guide channel disposed in the backrest or in the head-support holder, wherein the at least one guide channel is curved to correspond to the circle of rotation of the headrest, the at least one guide channel further having at least two retaining slots into which the at least one positioning pin can be inserted, one of which defines the upright position of the headrest and another of which defines the resting position of the headrest.
