[ attaching and detaching part ]

Fig. 3 shows a structure of the attaching and detaching portion 30 that can attach and detach the assist grip body 11 to and from the vehicle interior wall 6. For ease of understanding, fig. 3 schematically shows the mechanism of the attaching and detaching portion 30. Therefore, a part of the mechanism of the attaching and detaching portion 30 shown in fig. 3 is simplified, and the dimensional relationship or scale is different from the actual one.

The attaching and detaching portion 30 of embodiment 1 mainly includes: an engaging member 35 having an engaging portion 36, and a rotation mechanism 32 having an engaging hole 31 engaging with the engaging portion 36.

The engaging holes 31 and 31 are provided in the leg portions 13 of the assist grip body 11 and the vehicle exterior side surfaces of the leg portions 13. The engagement hole 31 and the engagement hole 31 engage the engagement portion 36 and the engagement portion 36 protruding from the vehicle interior wall 6 with the opening peripheral edge, respectively.

As shown in fig. 3, the engaging portion 36 and the engaging portion 36 provided in the engaging member 35 include: first engaging portions 36a fixed to the sliding shaft portions 40 of the engaging members 35; a second engaging portion 36c provided so as to be capable of approaching and separating from the first engaging portion 36 a; and a reverse link mechanism 36b that moves the second engagement portion 36c relative to the first engagement portion 36a by movement of the engagement member 35 in the vehicle longitudinal direction, and causes the engagement portion 36 to engage with or disengage from the peripheral edge of the engagement hole 31.

The vehicle interior wall 6 has a pair of insertion holes 6a, 6a that are formed at a predetermined interval in the vehicle front-rear direction and that open axially outward. The first engaging portion 36a, the second engaging portion 36c, and the reverse link mechanism 36b are accommodated in the respective insertion holes 6 a.

Engaging claws 36f and 36f are formed at the front ends of the first engaging portion 36a and the second engaging portion 36 c. The engagement claws 36f, 36f protrude toward the passenger compartment R.

Further, a slide groove 6b is provided in the vehicle interior wall 6 so as to extend in the vehicle front-rear direction. The insertion holes 6a communicate with the slide grooves 6b orthogonally.

The slide shaft portion 40 of the engaging member 35 is housed in the slide groove 6b so as to be slidable in the vehicle front-rear direction.

A vertical wall portion 39 is connected to one end of the slide shaft portion 40 so as to be integrated in an orthogonal state. A slide lever 37 to be held by a user during a mounting/dismounting operation is formed at the front end of the vertical wall 39.

Further, one end of the spring member 50 as the urging member abuts against the vertical wall portion 39. The other end of the spring member 50 abuts against a bottom surface of a spring recess recessed in the opposite vehicle interior wall 6.

When the slide lever portion 37 is slid and moved in the vehicle front-rear direction, the slide shaft portion 40 moves in the vehicle front-rear direction along the slide groove 6 b. The movement of the slide shaft portion 40 is transmitted to the counter link mechanism 36b and the counter link mechanism 36b, respectively.

The counter link mechanism 36b has a slide link 36d formed in a bar shape. The intermediate portion of the slide link 36d is pivotally supported on the vehicle body via a support shaft 36 e. The ends of the slide link 36d are loosely fitted so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the long holes 36g and 36h formed in the first engaging portion 36a and the second engaging portion 36c, respectively.

Thus, when the slide link 36d rotates with the movement of the slide shaft 40, the first engagement portion 36a and the second engagement portion 36c are spaced closer to or farther from each other.

In the assist grip structure of embodiment 1, a pair of engagement claws 36f, 36f are provided at the distal ends of the first engagement portion 36a and the second engagement portion 36c so as to protrude outward, respectively.

As shown in fig. 4, when the assist grip body 11 is attached to the vehicle body, the space between the pair of engagement claws 36f, 36f is narrowed against the urging force of the spring member 50. This allows insertion into the engagement hole 31 formed in the opening of each leg 13.

Guide surfaces 36i and 36i are formed on the outer side surfaces of the engagement claws 36f and 36f at a predetermined inclination angle (for example, about 45 degrees to 60 degrees). Therefore, when the leg portions 13 are inserted into the engagement holes 31, the opening peripheral edge of the engagement holes 31 slidably contacts the guide surfaces 36i and 36i, and the assist grip body 11 can be mounted on the vehicle body without operating the slide lever portion 37.

In a state of being inserted into the engagement hole 31, the gap between the engagement claw 36f and the engagement claw 36f is expanded by the biasing force of the spring member 50.

Thus, the engagement claws 36f and 36f are engaged with the peripheral edges of the engagement holes 31, respectively, and the assist grip body 11 is mounted on the vehicle interior wall 6.

In a state where the assist grip body 11 is mounted on the vehicle interior wall 6, the engagement claws 36f and the engagement claws 36f formed at the front end of the engagement portion 36 are engaged with the periphery of the engagement hole 31, and therefore cannot be pulled out of the engagement hole 31.

As shown in fig. 3, the assist grip body 11 is rotatably supported by the leg portion 13 on the side of the engagement hole 31 via a rotation shaft 38 and the rotation shaft 38 that are arranged such that the vehicle longitudinal direction is along the axial direction.

Therefore, when the assist grip 10 is used, the assist grip body 11 is not detached even if the user grips the assist grip body 11 and rotates it in the arrow direction about the rotation shaft 38 and the rotation shaft 38 as the rotation center as shown in fig. 6. In a state where the assist grip 10 is not used, the assist grip body 11 is in a stored state lying parallel to the cabin inner wall 6 by the urging force of the elastic member (see fig. 1).

When detaching the assist grip body 11 from the vehicle interior wall 6, the user operates the slide lever portion 37 so as to be positioned from the position shown in fig. 3 to the position shown in fig. 4. The slide lever portion 37 can move the slide shaft portion 40 in the arrow F direction against the urging force of the spring member 50.

At this time, the slide link 36d of the counter link mechanism 36b causes the gap between the first engagement portion 36a and the second engagement portion 36c to approach each other in accordance with the movement of the slide shaft portion 40 (see fig. 4).

The first engaging portion 36a and the second engaging portion 36c are narrowed so as to have a size in which the engaging claws 36f, 36f can be inserted into the engaging holes 31. Thereby, the engagement claws 36f, 36f are disengaged from the peripheral edge of the engagement hole 31, and the engagement between the peripheral edge of the engagement hole 31 and the first engagement portion 36a and the second engagement portion 36c is released. Therefore, the assist grip body 11 can be detached from the cabin inner wall 6.

[ Lighting Circuit ]

Fig. 5 shows a configuration of a lighting circuit 60 for lighting or extinguishing the lamp body 20 of embodiment 1.

The vehicle connection contact portion 70 is provided to one of the leg portions 13, and includes: a door open/close state contact 85 to which a vehicle door open/close signal 87 transmitted from an open/close sensor or an open/close switch provided in a door, not shown, is input; and an indoor lamp contact 86 to which an indoor lamp on/off signal 88 sent from an indoor lamp switch is input.

The door open/close state contact 85 is connected to a vehicle door open/close signal switch circuit 91 provided in the lighting circuit 60. The vehicle door opening/closing signal switching circuit 91 turns on the power for lighting the lamp body 20 when the door is opened.

The room lamp contact 86 is connected to a room lamp on/off signal switch circuit 92 provided in the lighting circuit 60. The indoor lamp on/off signal switch circuit 92 is connected to the second ambient dimming circuit 93. When the room lamp is turned on, the room lamp on/off signal switching circuit 92 and the second environment dimming circuit 93 turn on the power for dimming and lighting the lamp body 20.

The lighting circuit 60 of the assist grip body 11 is provided with a power supply unit 80 for supplying electric power from a power supply, not shown, on the vehicle 1 side to the battery 100, and the battery 100 for supplying electric power to the lamp body 20.

The power supply portion 80 is provided in a part of the vehicle connection contact portion 70 provided in the leg portion 13 of the assist grip body 11, and is connected to a power supply on the vehicle 1 side to supply power in a state where the assist grip body 11 is attached to the vehicle interior wall 6.

The power supply unit 80 includes: a Ground contact 82 connected to a Ground (GND) 81, and a vehicle-side state detection contact 84 connected to an ignition device (ignition) or an accessory 83.

When the assist grip body 11 is attached to the vehicle interior wall 6 of the vehicle 1, the vehicle connection contact portion 70, the ground contact 82, and the vehicle-side state detection contact 84 are connected to the terminals on the vehicle 1 side.

The battery 100 includes a battery control section. The battery control unit is provided with a constant voltage circuit, a charge control circuit, and the like. The constant voltage circuit stabilizes the voltage supplied to the lamp body 20. In addition, the charge control circuit stabilizes the voltage charged to battery 100.

When the on operation of the ignition or the accessory 83 is detected, electric power is supplied from the power supply on the vehicle 1 side to the lighting circuit 60 and the battery 100, and the battery 100 becomes chargeable.

On the other hand, even in a state where the assist grip body 11 is attached to the vehicle interior wall 6, when the off operation is detected by the ignition device or the attachment 83, all of the electric power necessary for lighting the lamp body 20 is supplied from the battery 100 of the lighting circuit 60.

The other leg portion 13 of the assist grip body 11 is provided with an engagement detection switch 90 as a detachable detection member, and the engagement detection switch 90 detects whether or not the assist grip body is attached to the vehicle interior wall 6. The fitting detection switch 90 includes: the switch device includes a retractable pin 95, a spring 96 for biasing the retractable pin 95 in a protruding direction, and a contact plate 94 which moves in accordance with the movement of the retractable pin 95 to switch the connection between a pair of contacts 97, 97 on and off.

The fitting detection switch 90 is pressed by the tip of the protrusion/retraction pin 95 abutting against the vehicle interior wall 6 in a state where the assist grip body 11 is attached to the vehicle interior wall 6.

Therefore, the conduction between the pair of contacts 97 and 97 is interrupted with the insertion of the retractable pin 95. In addition, the fitting detection switch 90 projects the projecting and retracting pin 95 by the biasing force of the spring 96 in a state where the assist grip body 11 is not attached to the vehicle interior wall 6. In this state, the contact plate 94 is in contact with the two contacts 97, 97 to conduct the current.

When the automatic contact 62 for automatically lighting the lamp body 20 is selected by switching the manual switch 61, the lamp body 20 of embodiment 1 lights the lamp body 20 when the fitting detection switch 90 detects that the assist grip main body 11 is detached from the vehicle interior wall 6.

When the manual switch 61 is used to select the on contact 63 in a state where the assist grip body 11 is detached from the vehicle interior wall 6, the lamp body 20 is always turned on. When the first environment dimming contact 64 of the manual switch 61 is selected, the lamp body 20 is dimmed and lit by the first environment dimming circuit 65. When the manual switch 61 is selected to open the contact, the lamp body 20 is turned off.

When the automatic contact 62 is selected, the lamp body 20 is turned off when the fitting detection switch 90 detects that the assist grip body 11 is attached to the vehicle interior wall 6.

When a vehicle door open/close signal 87 is inputted from the open/close sensor to the door open/close state contact 85 in conjunction with the door opening, the indoor lamp on/off signal switch circuit 92 turns on or off the lamp body 20.

Further, when the automatic contact 62 is selected by the manual switch 61 and the assist grip body 11 is attached to the vehicle interior wall 6, an interior lamp on/off signal on the vehicle body side may be input from the interior lamp contact 86.

In this case, the indoor lamp on/off signal switching circuit 92 turns on or off the lamp body 20 in an ambient state (dimming state) by using the second ambient dimming circuit 93 in accordance with the input of the indoor lamp on/off signal.

At this time, even when the fitting detection switch 90 detects that the assist grip body 11 is mounted on the vehicle interior wall 6 and the ignition or the accessories are turned off by the vehicle-side state detection contact 84, the lighting of all the lamp bodies 20 is performed by the battery 100 in the assist grip body 11.

Next, the operational effects of the assist grip structure of embodiment 1 will be described. The assist grip structure of embodiment 1 includes: an auxiliary handle body 11 arranged on the inner wall 6 of the vehicle chamber; a lamp body 20 disposed on the assist grip body 11; and a detachable section 30 that enables the assist grip body 11 to be attached to and detached from the vehicle interior wall 6.

In the assist grip structure of embodiment 1, the light-up operation is possible even when the assist grip main body 11 attached to the vehicle interior wall 6 is removed and taken out of the passenger compartment R as shown in fig. 6 (see fig. 2).

Specifically, in the case where the automatic contact 62 is selected as the contact of the manual switch 61 shown in fig. 5, when the assist grip main body 11 is removed from the cabin inner wall 6, the fitting detection switch 90 causes the contact plate 94 to come into contact with the contact 97 and the contact 97 to conduct the current. Therefore, the power of the battery 100 built in the assist grip body 11 can energize the lamp body 20 to light the lamp body 20.

The user can select and switch from the on contact 63, the first environment dimming contact 64, and the off contact 66 by using the manual switch 61 shown in fig. 5.

When the manual switch 61 is switched to select the on contact 63, the lamp body 20 is always turned on. When the manual switch 61 selects the first environment dimming contact 64, the lamp body 20 is dimmed and lit by the first environment dimming circuit 65.

When the manual switch 61 is selected to open the contact, the lamp body 20 is turned off.

In addition, the carried-out assist grip body 11 can perform the lighting state of all the lamp bodies 20 by using the battery 100 in the assist grip body 11.

As shown in fig. 5, battery 100 can be charged using a power supply on the vehicle 1 side in a state where assist grip body 11 is attached to vehicle interior wall 6.

Therefore, by detaching the assist grip body 11 from the vehicle interior wall 6 by the attaching/detaching portion 30, the assist grip body can be taken out of the passenger compartment and used as a lighting fixture such as a hand lamp (hand light).

As shown in fig. 6, the assist grip body 11 is rotatably displaceable between a stored state (see solid lines in fig. 6) in which the assist grip body is laid in parallel with the cabin inner wall 6 so as to contact the cabin inner wall 6 and a used state (see imaginary lines in fig. 6) in which the assist grip body 11 is erected.

In the stored state of the assist grip body 11, the leg portions 13 and the leg portions 13 are located lower than the grip portion 12 in the vehicle vertical direction, and at least a part of the leg portions is stored in the recess of the vehicle interior wall 6 (see fig. 1). Therefore, the amount of projection from the vehicle interior wall 6 is minimized, and space efficiency is improved.

Then, the assist grip body 11 is turned against the urging force of the elastic member to be used.

In the use state of the assist grip 10, the grip portion 12 is erected so that the center axis L in the thickness direction of the assist grip body 11 intersects the inner wall surface of the vehicle interior wall 6, and is separated from the vehicle interior wall 6 (see the imaginary line in fig. 6). Therefore, a substantially trapezoidal opening is formed between the vehicle interior wall 6 and the assist grip body 11, and the user can easily grip the grip portion 12 (see fig. 3).

In embodiment 1, the assist grip body 11 having the pair of leg portions 13, 13 is exemplified, but is not particularly limited thereto. For example, only one of the left and right legs 13 may be provided, or a plurality of three or more legs 13 may be provided integrally with the assist grip body 11.

In fig. 3 and 4, the insertion hole 6a, the slide groove 6b, and the engaging member 35 are directly provided in the member (interior panel 7) exposed to the vehicle interior, but the present invention is not limited to the above configuration, and a separate unit may be provided between the interior panel 7 and the mounting bracket 9, and the insertion hole, the slide shaft, and the engaging member may be provided in the unit. Further, at this time, both the interior panel 7 and its separate unit are included in the vehicle interior wall 6.

[ embodiment 2]

Fig. 7 illustrates an assist grip structure according to embodiment 2 of the present invention.

Here, the same or equivalent portions as those of the assist grip structure of embodiment 1 are given the same reference numerals, and the description will be given centering on the different portions. For ease of understanding, fig. 7 schematically illustrates the mechanism of the attaching and detaching portion 130. Therefore, a part of the mechanism of the attaching and detaching portion 130 shown in fig. 7 is simplified, and the dimensional relationship or scale is different from the actual one.

As shown in fig. 7, the vehicle interior wall 6 of embodiment 2 is provided with a pair of attaching and detaching recesses 9c, 9c constituting the attaching and detaching portion 130.

The detachable recess 9c abuts against and blocks the leg 13 of the assist grip body 11 and the tip of the leg 13 in a state inserted therein. Each leg portion 13 is provided with a rotation shaft 38 including a rotation shaft.

The attaching and detaching portion 130 of embodiment 2 mainly includes: the main recesses are disposed on the leg portion 13 of the assist grip body 11, the engaging hole 131 on the outer side surface of the leg portion 13, the engaging hole 131, and the engaging member 135.

The engaging member 135 includes an engaging piece 138 that protrudes from the vehicle interior wall 6 side and is recessed in the attachment/detachment recess 9c to engage with or separate from the engaging hole 131, the engaging piece 138, and the slide lever portion 37 that protrudes in the passenger compartment R direction.

The engagement piece 138 is inserted into each engagement hole 131 and engaged with the recessed attachment/detachment concave portion 9c of the vehicle interior wall 6 at the tip of the leg portion 13 of the assist grip main body 11 in a state inserted into the attachment/detachment concave portion 9 c. This prevents the assist grip body 11 from separating from the vehicle interior wall 6.

The assist grip body 11 is rotatable in the arrow direction as in embodiment 1 shown in fig. 6, and is displaceable between a storage state (see solid line) in which the assist grip body 11 lies horizontally in parallel with the vehicle cabin inner wall 6 and a use state (see imaginary line) in which the assist grip body 11 stands up.

Next, the operational effects of the attaching and detaching portion 130 of embodiment 2 will be described. In embodiment 2, as in embodiment 1, when the engagement piece 138 is pulled out from each engagement hole 31 by the operation of the slide lever portion 37 and the engagement is released, the assist grip body 11 can be separated from the vehicle interior wall 6. Therefore, the lamp body 20 of the assist grip body 11 can be used like a portable lamp (see fig. 2).

Further, in the engaging piece 138 of embodiment 2, a guide surface 138d for sliding the tip end of the leg portion 13 is formed at a predetermined inclination angle (for example, about 30 degrees to 45 degrees).

Therefore, when the leg portion 13 and the leg portion 13 are inserted into the concave attachment/detachment concave portion 9c and the attachment/detachment concave portion 9c, respectively, when the assist grip body 11 is mounted on the vehicle interior wall 6, the tip end of the inserted leg portion 13 presses the guide surface 38d to generate a component force.

Therefore, the engagement member 35 moves in the engagement release direction along the vehicle front-rear direction. Thus, even if the user does not operate the slide lever portion 37, the respective distal ends of the rotating shafts 38 can be inserted into the respective engaging holes 31.

The other structures and operational effects are the same as or equivalent to those of embodiment 1, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.

As described above, the assist grip body 11 includes the grip portion 12 gripped by the user and the leg portion 13 extending in the direction intersecting the grip portion 12. The lamp body 20 is provided on the leg portion 13 and emits light in a direction away from the grip portion 12.

In the assist grip structure of embodiments 1 to 2, the lamp body 20 provided in the leg portion 13 emits light in a direction away from the grip portion 12. Therefore, even if the user's hand holds the grip portion 12, the lamp body 20 is prevented from being covered.

In addition, the user intuitively (naturally) directs the irradiation light by directing the leg 13 toward the irradiation object.

Further, the grip portion 12 is hung by being tied to a string or the like, and the leg portion 13 is directed downward by its own weight, so that the lighting device can be used as a hanging lighting device.

The assist grip body 11 is provided so as to be displaceable between a storage state lying horizontally in parallel with the cabin inner wall 6 and a use state standing in a direction intersecting the cabin inner wall 6. In the accommodated state, the leg portion 13 is located below the grip portion 12.

In a stored state in which the assist grip body 11 is not used as an assist grip as shown in fig. 1, illumination light for illuminating the passenger compartment R is emitted downward from the lamp body 20 of the leg portion 13. Therefore, the assist grip 10 can be used as indoor lighting.

For example, when assist grip body 11 is in the storage state by the biasing force of the elastic member, lamp body 20 may be irradiated with illumination light toward the lower side or interior panel 7 of vehicle interior wall 6.

As shown in fig. 5, the assist grip body 11 is provided with a battery 100 for supplying power to the lamp body 20 and a power supply portion 80 for supplying power from a power supply on the vehicle 1 side to the battery 100. The power supply portion 80 is connected to a power supply on the vehicle 1 side and energized in a state where the assist grip body 11 is attached to the vehicle interior wall 6.

Therefore, as shown in fig. 3, the assist grip body 11 can charge the battery 100 built in the assist grip body 11 in a state of being attached to the vehicle interior wall 6. Therefore, when the assist grip body 11 is detached and used like a portable light, the amount of charge required to light the lamp body 20 using the battery 100 can be secured.

The assist grip body 11 is provided with an engagement detection switch 90 that detects whether or not the assist grip body is attached to the vehicle interior wall 6. The lamp body 20 is turned on when the fitting detection switch 90 detects that the lamp body is detached from the assist grip body 11.

In the assist grip structure according to embodiments 1 to 2, when the assist grip main body 11 is used as a portable lamp as shown in fig. 2, the lamp body 20 can be automatically turned on by the fitting detection switch 90 shown in fig. 5. Therefore, the assist grip body 11 can be lit only by being detached from the vehicle body, and the convenience as a portable lamp is excellent.

In the assist grip structure according to embodiments 1 to 2, while the assist grip main body 11 is attached to the cabin inner wall 6 of the vehicle 1 as shown in fig. 1, electric power can be charged to the built-in battery 100 (see fig. 5) while being used as an interior lamp.

Therefore, as shown in fig. 2, when the assist grip body 11 is detached from the vehicle interior wall 6 and taken out of the passenger compartment, the assist grip body can be immediately lit for use. Therefore, a practically useful operational effect can be exhibited in which it is not necessary to additionally mount an illumination device on the vehicle.

Further, as shown in fig. 6, the illumination light 21 is emitted toward the surface of the interior board 7 such as the pillar portion by the light emission of the lamp body 20. The illumination light 21 may be indirect illumination that indirectly illuminates the passenger compartment R.

The lamp body 20 is disposed in the bulging portion 14 that bulges the side surface 13a of the leg portion 13. Therefore, compared to the case where the lamp body 120 is disposed on the bottom wall portion 13b of the leg portion 13 (see the virtual line position), the distance to the surface of the interior panel 7 and the irradiation angle of the light beam irradiated from the surface can be set larger by the amount corresponding to the height dimension h of the bulging portion 14.

Therefore, by providing the lamp body 20 in the assist grip body 11, the degree of freedom in the plan of illumination using the lamp body 20 such as indirect illumination can be improved.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made. The above-described embodiments are illustrative embodiments for easily understanding the present invention, and are not necessarily limited to including all the structures described. Note that a part of the structure of one embodiment may be replaced with the structure of another embodiment, or the structure of another embodiment may be added to the structure of one embodiment. Further, a part of the configuration of each embodiment may be deleted, or another configuration may be added or replaced. The modifications that can be made to the above embodiment are, for example, as follows.

In addition, in the assist grip structure of embodiments 1 to 2, the case where the lamp body 20 is disposed in the bulging portion 14 has been described, but the present invention is not particularly limited thereto.

That is, as shown in fig. 2, a pair of lamp bodies 20 according to embodiments 1 to 3 are provided in the bulging portion 14 with a gap therebetween, but for example, as shown by the imaginary line in fig. 6, the lamp body 120 may be disposed on the main body side of the leg portion 13.

As shown in fig. 6, when the lamp body 120 is disposed inside the leg portion 13, the illumination light 121 is emitted to the outside through the light guide portion formed by the opening in the bottom wall portion 13b of the leg portion 13 when the lamp body 120 emits light.

In this way, the lamp body 120 can be disposed at any portion of the assist grip main body 11 as long as the illumination light 121 is irradiated in a direction away from the grip portion 12. For example, the lamp body 120 inside the leg portion 13 and the lamp body 20 provided in the bulging portion 14 may be used in combination. For example, the lamp body 20 and the lamp body 20 may be provided separately on the two legs 13 and 13.

That is, the arrangement position, number, shape of the lamp body 20, shape, material, and illumination mode of the light guide portion 14b around the lamp body 20 are not particularly limited, and may be provided at any portion other than the grip portion 12 of the assist grip main body 11, and may emit light in a direction away from the grip portion 12.

The bulging portion 14 according to embodiments 1 to 2 is formed in a substantially triangular shape having a height h and a vertex bulging outward from the side surface 13a of the leg portion 13 (see fig. 6).

However, the shape of the expanded portion 14 is not particularly limited to this, and may be any shape such as a hemispherical shape, a trapezoidal shape, or a mountain shape, and the shape, number, and material are not limited to the expanded portion 14 of the present embodiment.

Further, as shown in fig. 5, the manual switch 61 according to embodiments 1 to 2 includes a four-contact changeover switch having an automatic contact 62 for automatically lighting the lamp body 20 and a first environment dimming contact 64 connected to be electrically connected to a first environment dimming circuit 65.

However, the contact is not particularly limited to this, and a multi-contact switch including a combination with another contact, such as a three-contact selector switch including an automatic contact 62 for automatically lighting the lamp body 20, a closing contact 63 for always lighting, and an opening contact for not supplying a current to the lamp body 20, or a lighting switch including only a closing/opening switching contact may be included as the contact selectable by the manual switch 61.

In embodiment 2 shown in fig. 7, the assist grip body 11 is supported by the engaging piece 138 and the engaging piece 138 that engage with the assist grip body 11. However, the present invention is not particularly limited thereto.

For example, the detachable portion 30 may be formed of a clamp member, a stopper member, a clamp member, or the like, and may have any configuration. That is, the shape, number, and material of the attachment/detachment portion are not limited to the attachment/detachment portion 30, the attachment/detachment portion 130, and the attachment/detachment portion 230 of embodiments 1 to 3, and any configuration may be employed as long as the attachment/detachment portion is capable of attaching/detaching the assist grip body 11 to/from the cabin inner wall 6.
