20140333104 | MOMS CAR SEAT - The pregnant passenger and fetus have many intrinsic combinations of risk factors making them vulnerable to pregnancy loss and possible death during vehicle accidents. In most cases of fetal loss in motor vehicle accidents the cause was placenta abruption. It takes very little changes in force for the placental tissues to separate. Seat belt in the pelvis area is a suspicious culprit even though it will take highly complex computer and experimental models to substantiate this. The fact of traditional seat belts in any close proximity of the pregnancy leaves us to question if it is paradoxically not the cause such high restraining pressures on the pregnancy. | 11-13-2014 |

20160023579 | Child Safety Seat With Safety Belt Adjustment Mechanism - A child safety seat assembly includes a seat shell that is secured to a vehicle seat by way of a standard safety belt system, and a belt adjustment mechanism that facilitates adjusting the horizontal belt path taken by the standard safety belt through the safety seat assembly such that the horizontal belt path aligns with a child's center of gravity (CG). In a first fixed state, the belt adjustment mechanism generates a lower horizontal belt path that is a relatively short distance from the seat base portion, thereby optimizing the seat assembly for securing shorter children or infants having lower CGs. As a child grows, the belt adjustment mechanism is adjusted into a second fixed state that maintains the horizontal belt path at a relatively long distance from the seat base portion, thereby optimizing the seat assembly for securing taller children having higher CGs. | 01-28-2016 |
20160068084 | CHILD SAFETY SEAT AND CROTCH BELT ASSEMBLY THEREOF - The child safety seat provides a crotch belt assembly to allow the consumer to adjust the crotch belt's position and length without disassembling the child restraint. The positioner uses two tab-like abutting ends that can slide within the channels so that the positioner may be configured at different positions with respect to the seat section, allowing for quick adjustability from a rear position to a forward position and vice versa. The crotch belt runs through the positioner and is connected to the seat shell with the belt attachment. The rear position will be used for the smaller child and is locked into that position by the second abutting end. The second abutting end is depressed and the positioner is slid forward until the first abutting end engages. During this process, the length of the crotch belt will automatically adjust for proper fit for the larger child. | 03-10-2016 |
