Patent ID: 10906435

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an adjustable connecting bar for releasable fastening of a child restraint system to a vehicle seat having mounted anchoring members. The adjustable connecting bar (1) comprises a first and a second elongated bar member (2, 3) telescopically interconnected and arranged for relative displacement along a longitudinal axis (L). The first elongated bar member (2) is provided with a coupling device (4) at an end thereof and the coupling device (4) is transformable from a locked configuration to a release configuration in a first operation step by means of a manually operable actuator (8) which is operatively connected via a maneuvering system (9) to the coupling device. The connecting bar (1) further comprises a latch system (10, 11) housed within the connecting bar (1) for selectively preventing extension and retraction of the connecting bar (1). The latch system comprises a first latch (10) arranged to prevent retraction of the connecting bar (1) when the connecting bar (1) is in an extended end position and the coupling device (4) is in the release configuration. The second latch (11) is arranged to be transferrable from an active state preventing extension of the connecting bar to an inactive state allowing both extension and retraction of the connecting bar (1). The second latch (11) is biased to the active state and transferrable from the active state to the inactive state in a second operation step by means of the manually operable actuator (8). The second operation step is separate from the first operation step and only allowed when the coupling device (4) is in the release configuration. The second latch (11) is arranged to return to the active state upon release of the manually operable actuator (8).
