Definitions

  • the invention relates, generally, to a restraint system having a strap and a fastener and, more particularly, to a fastener for such a restraint system for use in a vehicle having a lower anchor system.
  • Restraint systems are used in various applications including child restraint systems for a vehicle, restraint systems for cargo loaded upon a pallet, etc.
  • the prior art includes various types of child safety seats, including rear-facing infant seats which may or may not include a removable base, convertible seats which may be rear or forward-facing, forward-facing only seats, high-back booster seats with a five-point harness, and belt positioning booster seats, for example.
  • rear-facing infant seats which may or may not include a removable base
  • convertible seats which may be rear or forward-facing, forward-facing only seats
  • high-back booster seats with a five-point harness and belt positioning booster seats
  • the lower anchor and tethers for children (LATCH) system was designed to make installation of child safety seats easier by requiring child safety seats to be installed without using the vehicles seat belt system.
  • the system requires all new forward-facing child safety seats (not including booster seats) to meet stricter head protection requirements, which calls for a top tether strap.
  • the top tether strap is adjustable and is attached to the back of a child safety seat.
  • the strap includes a hook for securing the child safety seat to a tether anchor found either on the rear shelf area of the vehicle or, in the case of mini-vans and station wagons, on the rear floor or on the back of the rear seat of the vehicle.
  • the system requires two rear seating positions of all cars, mini-vans and light trucks to become equipped with lower child safety seat anchorage points located at the seat bight, i.e., between the vehicle's seat cushion and the vehicle's seat back. Further, the system requires that all child safety seats will have two attachments which will connect to the vehicle's lower anchorage attachment points. Together, the lower anchors and upper tethers make up the LATCH system.
  • a child restraint seat is secured to the lower anchor of a vehicle with two clips or hooks.
  • the hooks are coupled to the child restraint seat via webbing which either extends from each hook to a secured point on the child restraint seat, or via webbing which extends through the structure of the child restraint seat.
  • the prior art suffers several disadvantages.
  • the lower anchors are located deep within a recess of the bight so as to not interfere with passenger comfort when a child restraint seat is not used.
  • the hooks can be difficult to couple and uncouple to the lower anchors.
  • the prior art hooks require that the hook be pulled away from the bight, whereupon the spring clip is squeezed so as to place the hook in an open position. Thereafter, it is necessary to push the hook back into the bight so that the hook backs out and away from the lower anchor.
  • the spring clip will be snagged and trapped by the lower anchor.
  • the present invention therefore provides a fastener for a restraint system.
  • the fastener includes a clip having longitudinal axis, with a hook end and an attachment end, the hook end having a curved portion defining a hook and an opening to the hook for receiving the attachment point.
  • a cover is slidably.secured to the clip, the cover slidable relative to the clip along the longitudinal axis, between a closed position and an open position, wherein with the cover in the open position, the hook opening is exposed, and with the cover in the closed position the hook opening is closed by the cover. With the cover in the open position the fastener may be hooked or unhooked to the attachment point, and with the cover in the closed position, an attachment point located in the hook will be locked within the hook.
  • the fastener may also include a means for retaining the cover in the closed position, in the opened position, or both.
  • the present invention also contemplates providing a lower anchor belt system to be used to secure a child restraint seat to a vehicle equipped with at least one pair of lower anchors which includes a rigid, round rod or bar typically located at the seat bight.
  • the system includes a strap having a first end and a second end, a strap adjuster coupled to the strap and two of the lower anchor fasteners.
  • the present invention also provides a method of installing a fastener comprising the steps of grasping the fastener by the clip, inserting the fastener into the bight of a vehicle seat, until a stop located on the cover engages a lower anchor attachment point, limiting further movement of the cover into the bight, inserting the clip further, if necessary in order to slide the clip into the open position, and introducing tension into the strap to ensure that the fastener is in the closed position, whereby with the stop engaged with the lower anchor and the fastener is in the open position, the hook opening is aligned with the lower anchor without any obstruction between the hook opening and the lower anchor, and wherein the seat cushion above the lower anchor tends to assist in pushing the aligned hook opening down and onto the lower anchor.
  • the present invention further provides a method of removing a fastener from a lower anchor, comprising the steps of introducing slack into the strap, pushing the clip into the bight so as to the slide the clip into the open position, rotating the fastener along the fasteners longitudinal axis, until the fastener clears the lower anchor and extracting the fastener from the bight, whereby the fastener may be moved to the open position without trapping the lower anchor so as to provide greater ease in removing the fastener, and the fastener may be removed without the need to lift the fastener up against the seat cushion.
  • FIG. 1 shows a prior art child restraint system in accordance with the LATCH system.
  • the vehicle (not shown) includes a pair of attachment points or lower anchors 10 located at the bight 12, i.e., between the vehicle's seat cushion 14 and the vehicle's seat back 16.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view, only one of the pair of lower anchors 10 is shown. However, the lower anchors 10 are spaced apart so as to be aligned on either side of a child restraint seat 18.
  • the vehicle further includes a tether anchor 20 located at the rear shelf or, as shown in phantom lines, at the vehicle floor behind the vehicle seat.
  • the child restraint system includes atop tether strap 22 having a hook 24 for fastening to the tether anchor 20.
  • the child restraint seat includes a pair of attachments or fasteners 26 extending from either side of the child restraint seat via webbing 28.
  • Each fastener is coupled by the user to the lower anchor.
  • the lower anchor may be a rigid, round rod or bar, typically six millimeters in diameter.
  • each fastener includes a strap (of webbing or some other material) having one end coupled to the fastener and the other end coupled to a point 30 at a respective side of the child restraint seat.
  • One or both sides of the child restraint seat may include a webbing adjuster 32 in the webbing.
  • the child restraint seat also includes a through hole 34 which extends through the back structure of the child restraint seat.
  • FIG. 2 discloses a single webbing belt 40 having a web adjuster 42 and a fastener 44 at each end of the webbing belt.
  • the belt of FIG. 2 may be used in the alternative to the lower anchor webbing shown in FIG. 1 or current vehicle seat belt systems.
  • the belt of ' FIG. 2 may extend through the through hole 34 of the child restraint seat, with each fastener 44 being secured to a respective lower anchor.
