ABSTRACT:
A car seat safety belt system used with a car seat for an infant or toddler has an adjustable shield for permitting adjustable placement of the shield relative to a buckle tongue secured to the seat belts. The ends of the upper seat belts attached to the tongue are captured in a buckle tongue housing having an elongated aperture on the outer surface. Mounted within the aperture is an adjustment mechanism having a button portion and a pair of oppositely extending tab portions engageable with individual pairs of a plurality of stop channels arranged along the direction of the elongated aperture. The tongue buckle housing assembly is movably received within a second housing having openings at opposite ends for the buckle tongue and the seat belts, as well as an opening in the outer surface in which the button portion is engaged. A cover member is molded about the second housing, the cover member having openings for accommodating the buckle tongue and the seat belts, as well as an opening for the button portion. The position of the shield relative to the buckle tongue and belts is adjusted by depressing the button portion and sliding the second housing and cover along the long axis of the first housing.
