ABSTRACT:
A latch mechanism is designed to secure a safety belt to the upper surface of a seat at any of a plurality of positions spaced longitudinally along the seat surface. The mechanism includes a loop extending downward from the end of the safety belt to fit into any of a series of slots arranged in a longitudinal row along the seat surface. Below the seat surface is a longitudinal channel retaining a plunger. A longitudinal row of hooks, each capable of engaging the seat belt loop, extends upward from the plunger, having the same number and spacing as the slots. The plunger is capable of sliding longitudinally inside the channel, but is biased to a position in which the hooks are aligned with the slots. Retraction of the hooks and hence release of the seat belt loop is achieved by manual manipulation of the plunger. Proper selection of a slot for insertion of the seat belt loop will comfortably yet securely retain an infant or toddler within a range of body sizes.
