Method and device for detachably fixating an object

Abstract

A device for detachably fixating a first object, a foldable car seat in a folded position, to a second object, a vehicle, the device comprising a cord, wherein the cord is connected, at at least one position, to a fastening means by means of at least one pin, which pin at least partially pierces the cord and preferably has a diameter of at most several millimeters. The invention further provides a method for the manufacture of a device for detachably fixating a first object, a foldable car seat in folded position, to a second object, a vehicle, the device comprising a cord, wherein the cord is connected, at at least one position, to a fastening means by at least partially piercing the cord with at least one pin, the pin preferably having a diameter of at most several millimeters.
