20080238179 | Child restraint assembly for child vehicle seat - A child restraint assembly for a child vehicle seat includes a buckle assembly including a buckle and a pair of latches, a harness coupled to the buckle assembly, and a harness adjuster to adjust the harness. The buckle includes a buckle actuator slidable between a first position and a second position relative to a front surface of the buckle to unlock the buckle assembly. The harness adjuster includes a housing and a harness adjuster actuator movable between a first position and a second position relative to a front surface of the housing to unlock the harness adjuster. Movement of the buckle actuator from the first position to the second position is in the same direction as movement of the harness adjuster actuator from the first position to the second position. The buckle can include a grip surface of sufficient thickness to enable a user to brace a finger against the buckle grip surface when actuating the buckle actuator. Likewise, the housing can include a grip surface of sufficient thickness to enable a user to brace a finger against the housing grip surface when actuating the harness adjuster actuator. The child restraint assembly also can include a chest clip coupled to the harness. The chest clip can include a male member and a female member releasably coupled to the male member, the male member having a pair of opposing grip surfaces of sufficient thickness to enable a user to grip the male member when decoupling the male member and the female member. | 10-02-2008 |
20140008951 | PIVOTAL HANDLE LOCK/RELEASE MECHANISM FOR CHILD CAR SEAT - A plurality of lock tracks on a carrier of a car seat, a slider that co-pivots with a handle of the carrier, and an actuator on the handle and moveable between lock and release positions. Each of the lock tracks defines a respective handle position. The slider is slideable between lock and release positions, and is spring-biased toward the lock position. In the slider lock position, the slider engages one of the lock tracks to secure the co-pivoting handle in the respective handle position. And in the slider release position, the slider does not engage any of the lock tracks to permit the co-pivoting handle to pivot between the handle positions. The actuator is biased toward the lock position by the spring-biased slider, and actuating the actuator from its lock position to its release position moves the slider from its lock position to its release position. | 01-09-2014 |
20140008952 | INFANT CARRIER AND CAR SAFETY SEAT WITH NO-RETHREAD HARNESS ADJUSTMENT - A vehicle safety seat and infant carrier system allowing height adjustment of a shoulder harness strap without rethreading the harness strap through the seat. A positioning member is normally biased out of engagement with a toothed rail, allowing a harness strap carried by the positioning member to be adjusted up or down to fit the size of a child. As the harness strap is pulled tight, the positioning member is brought into engagement with the toothed rail, fixing the position of the strap relative to the seat. | 01-09-2014 |
20140008955 | ADJUSTABLE CHILD SEAT BASE - An adjustable child seat base includes a seat base housing having first and second distal ends, a movable foot movably mounted to the seat base housing for movement between extended and retracted positions for adjusting the angle of the seat base, and a control handle and release positioned between the first and second distal ends of the seat base housing. The control handle and release is adapted for effecting one-handed control of the movement of the movable foot. | 01-09-2014 |
20140291977 | Folder With Stand - A folder including a folder body having a first panel and a second panel pivotally coupled together. The folder further includes a stand pivotally coupled to the first and second panels, the stand being movable to a support position wherein the stand is configured to support the folder body in a propped position. | 10-02-2014 |
20140342322 | Securing device for bound component - A writing or display system including a case having an opening configured to receive an insert therein. The insert includes a plurality of pages bound together by a binding device, and the case includes a generally clear, transparent or translucent panel configured such that an outer-most page of the insert is viewable therethrough when the insert is received in the opening. The case further includes a coupling device configured to selectively engage the binding device or an outer surface of the pages to retain the insert in the case. | 11-20-2014 |
20140368004 | BOOSTER SEAT WITH STOWABLE TRAY AND/OR STOWABLE SECURING STRAP - A booster seat includes a storage compartment for a tray and/or a storage compartment for securing straps. The tray-storage compartment can be formed in a base of the seat and include an access opening through a sidewall of the base. The tray-storage compartment can include two opposite and inwardly-extending lips that support the tray in the stowed position, and a support foot that moves between a use position in the compartment where it helps support the seat and a stored position displaced from the compartment. Also, the tray-storage compartment can include ribs that engage the tray in the stowed position to retain it there. The strap-storage compartment can be formed in the base and include an access opening with a closure for retaining the straps in the compartment. | 12-18-2014 |
20150048610 | Device with Quick-Attach Feature - A system including a panel having a panel opening and a coupling device coupled to the panel. The coupling device includes a coupling device opening and a flange positioned adjacent to the coupling device opening. The coupling device opening at least partially overlaps with the panel opening, and the flange is elastically deflectable to allow a binding mechanism to pass the flange and into or out of the coupling device opening. | 02-19-2015 |
