Patent ID: 7025420

Claim:
A car seat transformable into a bed, comprising: a backrest with a backrest structure; and a cushion with a cushion structure, the backrest structure being capable of folding backwards to a horizontal position superficially aligned with the cushion by a slight lifting of the cushion when the backrest is folded, the backrest structure ( 3 ) is connected to the cushion structure ( 5 ) by a first swivelling shaft ( 10 ), about which both structures can revolve freely, the backrest structure ( 3 ) is connected to a fixed structure of the seat by a second swivelling shaft ( 4 ), and the cushion structure ( 5 ) is connected to the fixed structure of the seat ( 6 ) by a connecting rod ( 7 ) placed near a front part of said cushion, the connecting rod being hinged by a shaft ( 8 ) to the cushion structure ( 5 ) and by a shaft ( 9 ) to the fixed structure ( 6 ) of the seat, so that backwards folding of the backrest causes a pushing and lifting of the cushion ( 2 ) to define a surface continuity between the cushion and backrest; wherein two pins ( 11 , 12 ) are provided on the backrest structure ( 3 ) with a swivelling part ( 13 ) arranged so as to cooperate with the pins to form a latch, the swivelling part being rotatably mounted on a shaft ( 14 ) so that the swivelling part can swivel about the fixed structure of the seat into two latching positions in which a respective one of the pins engages with the swivelling part, one of the latching positions corresponding to a normal-use position of the backrest as a seat, and another of the latching positions corresponding to a folded position of the backrest to form a bed.
