Abstract

The swiveling child safety seat that is adapted to be positioned on a seat of a vehicle, and which is able to pivot about a vertical axis. The swiveling child safety seat is further defined with a stationary seat base that is adapted to be secured to the seat of the vehicle. A swiveling child seat is pivotably engaged to the stationary seat base. The swiveling child seat is further defined with a rear surface that includes an armature track that extends laterally across the rear surface. The stationary seat base includes an anti-tilt catch that interacts with the armature track to ensure that the swiveling child seat is properly secured to the stationary seat base. The swiveling child seat includes a pivoting pin that extends downwardly from a bottom surface and engages the stationary seat base.

Claims

1. A swiveling child safety seat comprising:

a swiveling child seat that is able to pivot with respect to a stationary seat base;

wherein the stationary seat base is adapted to interface with a seat of a vehicle;

wherein the swiveling child seat is able to seat an end user therein;

wherein the swiveling child seat is able to rotate from a forward-facing orientation to a side thereby adaptively facing a door of said vehicle in order to adaptively aid in extracting or securing said end user with respect to the swiveling child seat;

wherein the stationary seat base is further defined with a bottom stationary surface and a rear stationary surface that are adapted to interface with the seat of the vehicle;

wherein the swiveling child seat is pivotably engaged with respect to the stationary seat base via a pivot rod;

wherein the pivot rod is vertically oriented such that the swiveling child seat rotates with respect to a vertical axis via the pivot rod;

wherein the pivot rod is rigidly affixed to the stationary seat base;

wherein the pivot rod extends upwardly from the stationary seat base;

wherein the pivot rod is rotatably affixed to a collar member;

wherein the collar member is able to lock or unlock the ability of the swiveling child seat to rotate relative the stationary seat base;

wherein at least one locking member is provided, and used to lock the rotational action of the swiveling child seat relative the stationary seat base;

wherein the at least one locking member includes a locking cam distally affixed to a locking armature;

wherein both the locking cam and the locking armature rotate relative a locking pivot rod.

2. The swiveling child safety seat according to claim 1 wherein the locking pivot rod is parallel with the vertical axis;

wherein the locking cam rotates via the locking armature to either engage or disengage with respect to the collar member.

3. The swiveling child safety seat according to claim 2 wherein the swiveling child seat includes an armature track on a rear swiveling surface;

wherein the armature track extends across a width of the rear swiveling surface.

4. The swiveling child safety seat according to claim 3 wherein the rear swiveling surface is convex in shape across the width;

wherein the stationary seat base is further defined with a front surface that is concave, and corresponds with the rear swiveling surface of the swiveling child seat.

5. The swiveling child safety seat according to claim 4 wherein the front surface includes an anti-tilt catch that extends across the front surface;

wherein the anti-tilt catch engages and enables the armature track to slide back and forth.

6. The swiveling child safety seat according to claim 5 wherein the armature track is able to slide back and forth with respect to the anti-tilt catch thereby securing the swiveling child seat with respect to the stationary seat base;

wherein both the anti-tilt catch and the armature track are perpendicular-oriented with respect to the vertical axis.

7. The swiveling child safety seat according to claim 6 wherein the swiveling child seat is further defined with a bottom swiveling surface that is adjacent to a top stationary surface of the stationary seat base;

wherein the stationary seat base includes a stationary roller track that is integrated into the top stationary surface.

8. The swiveling child safety seat according to claim 7 wherein the bottom swiveling surface of the swiveling child seat includes a swiveling roller member;

wherein the swiveling roller member is able to roll along the stationary roller track.

9. The swiveling child safety seat according to claim 8 wherein the swiveling roller member rotates via a swiveling pivot rod that is horizontally oriented.
