Patent ID: 7484800

Claim:
A restraint anchorage for a child safety seat for an automotive vehicle comprising: a tubular cross member; at least two mounting brackets attached to said cross member for securing said cross member to the vehicle at a location behind the seat of the vehicle; and at least one pair of latch wires, each latch wire of said pair of latch wires having a pair of spatially separated legs joined at one end by a transverse latch bar to which the child safety seat can be attached, each leg having a tapered portion and an end portion opposite said transverse latch bar, the tapered portion having a base and a continuously expanding diameter which expands from a diameter similar to said transverse latch bar to a larger diameter at the base of the tapered portion to provide greater strength and rigidity to each latch wire under load; and wherein said end portion of each leg passes through holes provided in the tubular cross member and is expanded in order to secure the latch wire from disengaging the tubular cross member.
