![]() When the hooks are made so small, the hook member will have insufficient strength and durability needed for repeated use. Because the holes used in the design of many of the male engagement plates used in vehicles today are quite small, the hook of the Reese device also must be made very small to accommodate different male engagement plates. Furthermore, in this device, the hinged/base end of the hook must be smaller than the hole in the male engagement plate of the seat belt. This arrangement makes the device of Reese difficult to use. The device of Reese is designed so that the male engagement plate of the seat belt must go past the hinged/base end of the hook, past the point of the hook, and then back to the hinged/base end in order for it to be engaged. 5,197,176 issued to Reese shows one such design. Various aids for threading a seat belt through a child safety restraint seat have been developed. ![]() As the seat may be sized for that particular weight class of child it is possible that the car seat will have to be moved four different times, and resecured to each vehicle. It is a very frustrating operation to thread the seatbelt through the restraint seat over and over again during a single days drive for a first parent to drop a child off at a child care worker facility, have the child care worker transport the child to a second location, perhaps even a second child care worker transport the child back to the first facility, and have the second parent, in his or her own vehicle, pick the child up from the daycare facility only to have to use the restraint seat again in order to transport the child back home. This size is predetermined to allow less “slop” of the belt in the seatbelt opening, such that during an accident, the seatbelt is only allowed a certain amount of travel. B60R22/30- Coupling devices other than buckles, including length-adjusting fittings or anti-slip devicesĪ problem arises because threading the seatbelt through the child restraint seat is difficult, as the openings to receive the safety belt itself are mandated by law to be of a certain size.B60R22/105- Safety belts or body harnesses in vehicles specially adapted for children or animals for children.B60R22/10- Safety belts or body harnesses in vehicles specially adapted for children or animals.B60R22/03- Means for presenting the belt or part thereof to the wearer, e.g.systems applied or removed automatically but not both Manual restraint systems B60R22/02- Semi-passive restraint systems, e.g.B60R22/00- Safety belts or body harnesses in vehicles. ![]()
