OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention application has for its object the registration of a folding transport system for children in vehicle seats, which incorporates notable innovations and advantages compared to the techniques used up to now.

More specifically, the invention proposes the development of a multifunctional folding transport system for children in vehicle seats, which, due to its particular arrangement, allows it to be found in a position of non-use integrated or incorporated into the usual seat of the vehicle, so that when its use corresponds, it will unfold or be removed from the back of the same seat. In particular, it is specially designed to be located in the central part of a conventional rear vehicle seat.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Car seats for children are well known in the current state of the art, such as those used for example to secure children in tourist vehicles. This child seat is positioned in the vehicle directly on the vehicle seat or indirectly on a base for the child seat attached to the vehicle. Although such chairs fulfill the function of carrying a baby or young child inside the vehicle, in practice, they can present some difficulty in the assembly and disassembly operation. In addition, in the case of not being used or requiring free space in the rear seat of the vehicle, these chairs can occupy considerable space, for example, in the trunk of the vehicle, so it is not always possible to remove the chair and store it in the trunk.

In the current state of the art, different patent documents are known that disclose different technical solutions to the technical problem raised above.

For example, documents FR2713999, DE102005035120 and ES2356173 disclose technical solutions integrated or incorporated in the usual seat of the vehicle, so that when their use is appropriate, they are removed from the back of the seat.

However, these provisions do not allow different options of use and adaptation in their possible benefits for different needs of sitting or resting a child or baby in the seat of a vehicle.

The present invention contributes to solving and solving the present problem, because due to its particular arrangement, it allows it to be in a position of non-use integrated or incorporated into the usual seat of the vehicle, so that when its use corresponds, it will be unfolded or removed from the backrest of the seat and adapting at the same time to various use options according to the different needs of the user.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention has been developed in order to provide a foldable transport system for children in vehicle seats, which is arranged and incorporated in a vehicle seat which in turn is composed of a base and a backrest, comprising a first member and second member of a padded nature and predominantly flat, both being foldable one on the other and deployable in the same region of the seat back, and the folded position of both being compatible with the usual use of the seat; the first member being movable from its folded position on the backrest to another deployed and extended position based on the same seat, and the second member also being movable from its folded position on the backrest to another position on the first member that is in turn in its extended position on the seat base; and the first member is in turn foldable on itself from its extended position on the seat base, being divided into two portions arranged horizontally one on the other and remaining on the seat base, and the second member is returnable to its position folding in the backrest.

Additionally, in the foldable transport system for children in vehicle seats, the first member incorporates folding extensions or bands, arranged in the portion of the first member that is uncovered on the seat base, at its lateral edges and in a predominantly parallel arrangement. , said extensions or bands being foldable on the portion itself.

Additionally, the folding transport system for children in vehicle seats incorporates a system of straps or straps equipped with straps, buckles, clips or similar, and linked to the first member and the second member, and which is at the same time attached to the seat of the vehicle.

Thanks to the present invention, an integration or incorporation into the usual seat of the vehicle is achieved that is easy to use for the user, so that when its use is appropriate, it will be deployed or removed from the seat back, adapting to the age of the child and the Traffic regulations in force regarding the transport of children inside vehicles, while when in a stowed condition, the vertical area of the seat allows a user to be accommodated.

It is an objective of the invention to provide a multifunctional transport system suitable for babies and children, such that in a stowed condition it allows a user to stay in the seat area where the system of the invention is located, this system being especially to be installed in the central part of a rear seat of a motor vehicle. On the other hand, depending on the deployed condition of the system, it will accommodate a stretched baby in a horizontal position or a child in a sitting position.

Another no less important advantage with respect to the prior art, is the fact that when the transport system is in a deployed condition (or use), having dimensions according to the central part of the vehicle that coincides for example with an armrest conventional rear of a motor vehicle, allows two occupants to occupy the side seats with respect to the central area occupied by the transport system.

Mention that the term "vehicle" used in this specification is not limited only to a motor vehicle but also implies any other means for the movement of people, such as, for example, a bus, a train, a tram, etc.

Other features and advantages of the foldable child transport system in vehicle seats will become apparent from the description of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, in which :
