Abstract:
1. A device for releasably attaching a child seat to at least one anchor member or cross member of an anchor bracket, the anchor member or cross member being connected to a body of a vehicle and extending transversely to a direction of travel, said device comprising a fixing device for connection to and/or integration with the child seat and at least one anchoring device for embracing the anchor member in such a way that radial movement of the child seat relative to the anchor member or cross member of an anchor bracket is impossible and axial movement is possible only within narrow limits; wherein said fixing device and said at least one anchoring device are disposed on and/or in first and second tubes which can be fitted together for normal use in such a way that relative motion between the two tubes is limited to the play of a fitted connection, the connection being adapted to come apart under a force overload, the tubes being connected inseparably to each other by a flexible but not stretchable connecting part, such that when the fitted connection releases, the tubes are capable of relative motion within a different perimeter than in the fitted-together state, this relative motion being limited by a free length of the flexible connecting part; wherein the flexible connecting part has an elongate shape in the form of a wire; wherein said flexible connecting part is provided at each end with a thickened end region that is secured to said first tube of said fixing device, and/or to said second tube, of said anchoring device.
