Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]The present invention relates, in general, to car seats used by infants and toddlers and, more particularly, the invention relates to an apparatus for use in connecting the seat belt in a motor vehicle to the child's car seat. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]Prior to the conception and development of the present invention, as is well known in the art, seat beats in a car have been used to secure either a baby's or toddler's car seat to the seat. In order to accomplish this task it requires fishing the car's seat belt through relatively narrow slots provided in the back of the child's car seat. In most cases an adult's hand is to large to fit into these slots which makes the task all the more difficult to perform. [0003]Applicants are aware of U.S. Pat. No. 7,044,548 issued to Mullen et al. This patent attempts to solve this problem by providing a permanently attached latch system incorporated therein. The latch system has a securing belt, latches disposed at each end of the securing belt and a connection member. The latches are adapted to connect to anchor points rigidly connected to the vehicle. The connection member has a loop portion through which a securing belt is slideably disposed and a connection portion adapted for permanent connection to the child vehicle seat. Obviously, this child car seat is more expensive and does not entirely solve the problem of securing the child's car seat to the vehicle car seat. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004]According to a first embodiment, the present invention provides an apparatus for use in connecting a car seat belt to a car seat. The apparatus having an elongated member formed from a predetermined material. The elongated member including each of a predetermined length and a predetermined cross-sectional shape. There is a hook like member disposed at a first end of such elongated member for hooking into an aperture formed through a male connecting member of such car seat belt to enable pulling such seat belt through an at least one opening formed through a back portion of such car seat. [0005]In a second embodiment, the present invention provides in combination with a car seat belt and one of a baby and a toddler car seat the improvement of an apparatus for use in connecting such car's seat belt to such one of a baby and a toddler's car seat. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [0006]It is, therefore, one of the primary objects of the present invention to provide an apparatus for use in connecting a car seat belt to a car seat which will significantly reduce the difficulty of threading the seat belt through the opening in the back of the car seat. [0007]Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for use in connecting a car seat belt to a car seat which is relatively simple to use. [0008]Still another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for use in connecting a car seat belt to a car seat which is relatively light weight. [0009]Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for use in connecting a car seat belt to a car seat which is relatively inexpensive to produce. [0010]A further object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for use in connecting a car seat belt to a car seat which can be collapsed into a relatively small length suitable to be carried in a woman's purse. [0011]It is another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for use in connecting a car seat belt to a car seat which does not require any assembly. [0012]In addition to the several objects and advantages of the present invention which have been described with some degree of specificity above it should be noted that various other objects and advantages of the invention will become more readily apparent to those persons who are skilled in the relevant art from the following more detailed description of the invention, particularly, when such description is taken in conjunction with the attached drawing figures and with the appended claims.
