Abstract

A child safety seat that includes a base member and a seat member, wherein the seat member includes a seat support surface and a back support surface that are positioned to orient an individual in a forward direction, and at least one groove is provided on the bottom surface of the seat member and the groove is oriented in a direction transverse to the forward direction, and the base includes a rail member that is also oriented in direction transverse to the forward direction and the rail is adapted to be received in the groove in a sliding engagement.

Claims

1. A child safety seat comprising a base member and a seat member, said seat member further comprising a seat support surface and a back support surface said seat support surface and said back support surface positioned to orient an individual in a forward direction, and at least one groove provided on the bottom surface of said seat member, said groove oriented in a direction transverse to said forward direction, and said base member further comprising a rail member that is oriented in direction transverse to said forward direction and said rail is adapted to be received in said groove in a sliding engagement.

2. The safety seat recited in claim 1 further comprising lateral members adjacent to said seat support members and lateral members adjacent to said back support members, a plurality of grooves and a plurality of rails.

3. The safety seat recited in claim 1 wherein said rail and said groove arrangement limit the movement of the seat with respect to the base to a rectilinear direction in the same direction as said rails.

4. The safety seat recited in claim 1 wherein at least one grooves and at least one said rail have a sectional profile wherein the top shoulder of the rail has a larger profile than the stem whereby the engagement of the rail and groove allows for rectilinear movement in the direction defined by said rail but restricts movement in a direction perpendicular to said rail.

5. The safety seat recited in claim 1 further comprising a locking member wherein said locking member restricts the movement of said rail in said groove.

6. The seat recited in claim 1 further comprising bearings within said rails to assist with the movement of the set with respect to the base.

7. The safety seat recited in claim 1 wherein said further comprising wheels provide in said rails to assist the movement of the seat with respect to the base.

8. The safety seat recited in claim 1 wherein said locking member from comprises a spring biased member and a complementary seating region to receive said spring biased member.

9. The safety seat recited in claim 8 wherein said spring biased member is provided in said base member and the seating region is provided in said seat member.

10. The safety seat recited in claim 1 wherein said groove extends substantially across the entire bottom surface of said seat member.

11. The safety seat recited in claim 1 wherein said rail extends substantially across the entire top surface of said base member.

12. A child safety seat comprising a base member and a seat member, said seat member further comprising a seat support surface positioned to orient an individual in a forward direction, and at least one groove provided on the top surface of said base member, said groove oriented in a direction transverse to said forward direction, and said seat member further comprising a rail member that is oriented in direction transverse to said forward direction and said rail is adapted to be received in said groove in a sliding engagement.

13. A child safety seat comprising a base member and a seat member, said seat member further comprising a seat support surface and a back support surface said seat support surface and said back support surface positioned to orient an individual in a forward direction, and at least one groove provided on the bottom surface of said seat member, said groove oriented in a direction transverse to said forward direction, and said base member further comprising at least peg members that are oriented in a line that has a direction transverse to said forward direction and said peg members are adapted to be received in said groove in a sliding engagement.
