Description

本発明は、自動車室内の天井面、壁面等に取り付けられるアシストグリップに関し、特にグリップ本体を回動可能に、ヒンジ部を介して車室内の被固定部に固定するアシストグリップに関する。 The present invention relates to an assist grip that is attached to a ceiling surface, a wall surface, etc. inside a vehicle interior, and more particularly to an assist grip whose grip body is rotatably fixed to a fixed portion inside the vehicle interior via a hinge portion.

自動車室内の天井面には、搭乗者が車室内で身体を支持するために、アシストグリップが取付けられる。この種のアシストグリップとして、グリップ本体の両側にヒンジ用凹部が形成され、そのヒンジ用凹部内にヒンジ部が回動可能に取り付けられ、グリップ本体が両側のヒンジ部を介して回動可能に装着される構造のものが、各種の自動車で使用されている。 An assist grip is attached to the ceiling surface of the vehicle interior for the purpose of supporting the body of a passenger inside the vehicle interior. As this type of assist grip, hinge recesses are formed on both sides of the grip body, the hinge parts are rotatably attached within the hinge recesses, and the grip body is rotatably attached via the hinge parts on both sides. Those with this structure are used in various automobiles.

この種のアシストグリップは、例えば下記特許文献１又は２に記載されるように、その両側のヒンジ部に金属製の取付クリップを備え、取付クリップにより車体のボディパネルに設けられた２つの矩形穴に取付けられる。アシストグリップが車体に取付けられるとき、アシストグリップのヒンジ部は、取付クリップが矩形穴に嵌入し、取付クリップの係止部とヒンジ部のボディパネルに当接する座部とが矩形穴の縁部を挟持し、アシストグリップは車体の矩形穴にヒンジ部を介して回動可能に装着される。 As described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below, this type of assist grip is equipped with metal mounting clips on the hinge portions on both sides, and the mounting clips connect two rectangular holes provided in the body panel of the vehicle. mounted on.

アシストグリップは、自動車室内の天井面に取り付けられ、使用時には収納状態から回動して、乗降の際に搭乗者が身体を支持するための取っ手として使用され、条件によってはアシストグリップにかなり大きい荷重がかかる。大きい荷重が掛かることに加え回動することが求められるため、アシストグリップのヒンジ部には、高い取付け精度が求められる。しかし、アシストグリップのヒンジ部が取付けられる、車体のボディパネルに設けられる２つの矩形穴の寸法形状には、寸法公差がある。例えば、図１７Ａに示すように、一方の矩形穴ＢＨ１の孔に対して他方の矩形穴ＢＨ２の孔に角度αの誤差が生じている場合や、図１７Ｂに示すように、一方の矩形穴ＢＨ１の面に対して他方の矩形穴ＢＨ２の面に角度βの誤差が生じている場合など、２つの矩形穴ＢＨ１，ＢＨ２には、寸法公差内の誤差がある場合がある。 The assist grip is attached to the ceiling surface of the vehicle interior, and when in use, it rotates from the stored state and is used as a handle to support the passenger's body when getting on and off the vehicle.Depending on the conditions, the assist grip may be subject to a fairly large load. It takes. Because it is required to rotate in addition to being subject to a large load, the hinge portion of the assist grip is required to have high mounting accuracy. However, there is a dimensional tolerance in the dimensions and shapes of the two rectangular holes provided in the body panel of the vehicle body, to which the hinge portion of the assist grip is attached. For example, as shown in FIG. 17A, there is an error in angle α between one rectangular hole BH1 and the other rectangular hole BH2, or as shown in FIG. 17B, one rectangular hole BH1 There may be an error within the dimensional tolerance between the two rectangular holes BH1 and BH2, such as when there is an error of angle β between the surface of the other rectangular hole BH2 and the other rectangular hole BH2.

しかるに、従来のアシストグリップは、取付部に高い取付け精度が求められるため、２つの矩形穴に孔の角度誤差や面の角度誤差がある場合、アシストグリップの一方のヒンジ部に対して他方のヒンジ部の取付位置や取付角度が相違してくるため、ヒンジ部の回動軸に強い応力が生じる。このため、従来のアシストグリップは、２つの矩形穴の孔の角度誤差や面の角度誤差を吸収できず、ヒンジ部の回動軸の曲げ方向に強い応力が生じ、アシストグリップの格納不良などの操作不良が発生するおそれがあるという課題があった。 However, conventional assist grips require high installation accuracy at the mounting part, so if there is an angular error in the hole or surface angle between the two rectangular holes, one hinge part of the assist grip will not match the other hinge part. Since the mounting positions and mounting angles of the parts are different, strong stress is generated on the rotation axis of the hinge part. For this reason, conventional assist grips are unable to absorb the angular error between the two rectangular holes and the angular error between the surfaces, and strong stress is generated in the bending direction of the rotation axis of the hinge, resulting in problems such as poor retraction of the assist grip. There was a problem in that there was a risk of malfunction occurring.

本発明は、上述の課題を解決するものであり、車体取付部に設けた取付用の２つの矩形穴の誤差を吸収し、作業性良く、適正に、車体取付部の定位置に取付けることができるアシストグリップを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem, and absorbs the error of the two rectangular mounting holes provided in the vehicle body mounting part, and allows the mounting to be carried out in a proper position on the vehicle body mounting part with good workability. The purpose is to provide an assisted grip that is possible.

本発明のアシストグリップによれば、車体に設けた矩形穴に、取付クリップとクリップ支持部が差し込まれ固定される。クリップ支持部の内側に、ヒンジ本体の中央支持板が把持され、中央支持板の円柱状凸部に対し、クリップ支持部の把持溝及び取付クリップが、円柱状凸部を中心に傾動可能に支持される。つまり、ヒンジ本体に対し、取付クリップとクリップ支持部は、矩形穴に対して前後方向の円柱状凸部を中心に、左右両側に傾動可能に支持される。このため、本発明のアシストグリップは、車体に設けた２つの矩形穴に角度誤差が生じていても、取付クリップとカバー部のクリップ支持部が矩形穴の角度誤差に応じて傾動し得るため、ヒンジ本体を適正位置に保持しながら、取付クリップとカバー部を傾動させて、矩形穴の角度誤差を吸収することができる。これにより、矩形穴の角度誤差から生じるヒンジ部の回動軸（枢軸）における曲げ応力の発生を防止することができ、ひいては、アシストグリップを、作業性良く、適正に、車体の定位置に取付けることができる。 According to the assist grip of the present invention, the mounting clip and the clip support portion are inserted and fixed into the rectangular hole provided in the vehicle body. The central support plate of the hinge body is gripped inside the clip support part, and the grip groove and the mounting clip of the clip support part are supported so as to be tiltable around the cylindrical convex part with respect to the cylindrical convex part of the central support plate. be done. That is, with respect to the hinge body, the attachment clip and the clip support portion are supported so as to be tiltable to the left and right sides about the cylindrical convex portion extending in the front-rear direction with respect to the rectangular hole. Therefore, in the assist grip of the present invention, even if there is an angular error in the two rectangular holes provided in the vehicle body, the mounting clip and the clip support part of the cover part can tilt according to the angular error in the rectangular holes. While holding the hinge body in a proper position, the mounting clip and the cover part can be tilted to absorb the angular error of the rectangular hole. This prevents the occurrence of bending stress on the rotation axis (pivot) of the hinge caused by the angular error of the rectangular hole, and allows the assist grip to be installed in the correct position on the vehicle body with good workability. be able to.

ここで、上記アシストグリップにおいて、前記ヒンジ本体の前記矩形開口部の後端外周部に、前記車体取付部の前記矩形穴の外側の面に当接する座部が設けられ、該座部に、中心位置から両側に傾斜する傾斜面が設けられた構成とすることができる。 Here, in the above-mentioned assist grip, a seat portion that comes into contact with an outer surface of the rectangular hole of the vehicle body mounting portion is provided on the rear end outer circumference of the rectangular opening of the hinge main body, and the seat portion has a center A configuration may be provided in which inclined surfaces are provided that are inclined on both sides from the position.

これによれば、座部に設けられた傾斜面によって、車体取付部の矩形穴の外側面に対し、ヒンジ部の傾斜が許容される。このため、車体取付部に設けられた２つの矩形穴の面に角度誤差が生じていても、ヒンジ本体が矩形穴の面の角度誤差に対して適正に傾斜して、面の角度誤差を吸収し、ヒンジ部の回動軸に生じる曲げ応力を防止することができる。 According to this, the inclined surface provided on the seat portion allows the hinge portion to incline with respect to the outer surface of the rectangular hole of the vehicle body attachment portion. Therefore, even if there is an angular error in the surfaces of the two rectangular holes provided in the vehicle body attachment part, the hinge body will properly incline with respect to the angular error in the surfaces of the rectangular holes and absorb the angular error in the surfaces. However, it is possible to prevent bending stress occurring in the rotation axis of the hinge portion.

また、上記アシストグリップにおいて、前記中央支持板上の円柱状凸部の両側に、両側に向けて傾斜する傾斜面が設けられる構成とすることができる。 Further, in the above-mentioned assist grip, an inclined surface inclined toward both sides may be provided on both sides of the cylindrical convex portion on the central support plate.

これによれば、クリップ支持部と嵌合する中央支持板上の円柱状凸部の両側に、傾斜面が設けられているため、中央支持板に対し傾動可能な取付クリップとクリップ支持部の許容回動角度の範囲を適正に設定することができる。このため、ヒンジ部にガタツキを生じさせることなく、アシストグリップを車体の矩形穴に取り付けることができる。 According to this, since sloped surfaces are provided on both sides of the cylindrical convex part on the central support plate that fits with the clip support part, the mounting clip that can be tilted with respect to the central support plate and the clip support part are allowed to The rotation angle range can be appropriately set. Therefore, the assist grip can be attached to the rectangular hole in the vehicle body without causing wobbling in the hinge portion.

また、上記アシストグリップにおいて、前記中央支持板の後側の幅方向両端部に、切欠部が設けられる構成とすることができる。 Further, in the above-mentioned assist grip, notches may be provided at both widthwise ends of the rear side of the central support plate.

これによれば、矩形穴にアシストグリップを取付ける際の挿入する側となる、中央支持板の後端部が、切欠き部によって幅方向に細くなる。このため、ボディパネルの矩形穴への取付性を向上させることができる。 According to this, the rear end portion of the central support plate, which is the side into which the assist grip is inserted when attaching it to the rectangular hole, is narrowed in the width direction by the notch. Therefore, the ease of attachment to the rectangular hole of the body panel can be improved.

また、上記アシストグリップにおいて、前記取付クリップの弾性脚部は、先端部側の幅が元部側の幅より小さく形成された構成とすることができる。 Further, in the above assist grip, the elastic leg portion of the attachment clip may be configured such that the width on the tip side is smaller than the width on the base side.

これによれば、取付クリップをヒンジ本体の矩形開口部に挿入する際の取付性を向上させることができる。 According to this, it is possible to improve the ease of attachment when inserting the attachment clip into the rectangular opening of the hinge body.

By holding the clip support portion 42 between the upper and lower elastic legs 51 of the attachment clip 5, the attachment clip 5 is assembled to the hinge bodies 21, 31 to which the cover portion 4 is temporarily fixed.

次に、図２，７，８に示すように、グリップ本体１のヒンジ用凹部１１内にヒンジ部２を取り付け、ヒンジ用凹部１２内にヒンジ部３を取り付ける。 Next, as shown in FIGS. 2, 7, and 8, the hinge part 2 is installed in the hinge recess 11 of the grip body 1, and the hinge part 3 is installed in the hinge recess 12.

グリップ本体１のヒンジ用凹部１１の内周壁の右側（外側）の外側軸穴１４に、ヒンジ本体２１のボス２３ａを嵌め込み、ヒンジ用凹部１１の内周壁の左側（内側）の内側軸穴１３の軸上に、ヒンジ本体２１の内側支持片２２の軸孔２２ａを配置する。次に、ヒンジ本体２１の内側に当たるばねケース収容部２５側から、枢軸８を、内側支持片２２の軸孔２２ａに挿通させ、ヒンジ用凹部１１の内側軸穴１３に嵌入させる。これにより、グリップ本体１は、ヒンジ部２に対して回動可能に軸支される。 The boss 23a of the hinge body 21 is fitted into the outer shaft hole 14 on the right side (outside) of the inner circumferential wall of the hinge recess 11 of the grip body 1, and The shaft hole 22a of the inner support piece 22 of the hinge body 21 is arranged on the shaft. Next, the pivot 8 is inserted into the shaft hole 22a of the inner support piece 22 from the side of the spring case accommodating portion 25, which is the inside of the hinge body 21, and is fitted into the inner shaft hole 13 of the hinge recess 11. Thereby, the grip main body 1 is rotatably supported on the hinge portion 2 .

ヒンジ部３も同様に、グリップ本体１のヒンジ用凹部１２の内周壁の左側（外側）の外側軸穴１４に、ヒンジ本体３１のボス３３ａを嵌め込み、ヒンジ用凹部１２の内周壁の右側（内側）の内側軸穴１３の軸上に、ヒンジ本体３１の内側支持片３２の軸孔３２ａを配置する。次に、ヒンジ本体３１の内側に当たるオイルダンパ収容部３５側から、枢軸８を、内側支持片３２の軸孔３２ａに挿通させ、ヒンジ用凹部１２の内側軸穴１３に嵌入させる。これにより、グリップ本体１は、ヒンジ部３に対して回動可能に軸支される。 Similarly, for the hinge part 3, the boss 33a of the hinge main body 31 is fitted into the outer shaft hole 14 on the left side (outside) of the inner peripheral wall of the hinge recess 12 of the grip main body 1, and ) The shaft hole 32a of the inner support piece 32 of the hinge body 31 is arranged on the axis of the inner shaft hole 13 of the hinge body 31. Next, the pivot shaft 8 is inserted into the shaft hole 32a of the inner support piece 32 from the oil damper accommodating portion 35 side, which is the inside of the hinge body 31, and is fitted into the inner shaft hole 13 of the hinge recess 12. Thereby, the grip main body 1 is rotatably supported on the hinge portion 3 .

戻りばね装置６は、ヒンジ本体２１のばねケース収容部２５に収容する。戻りばね装置６の左壁部の軸受部６５を、ばねケース収容部２５側から嵌入させた枢軸８の外側の嵌合部８ａに嵌入させ、戻りばね装置６の右壁部の嵌合凸部を、ばねケース収容部２５の右内側に形成された位置決め凹部２３ｂに嵌入させることによって、戻りばね装置６は、ヒンジ本体２１のばねケース収容部２５に収容すされる。このとき、ばねケース６２の開口部６４から突出したダブルトーションばね６１の中間足部６１ｂを、ヒンジ用凹部１１のばね係止部１１ａに係止させることによって、グリップ本体１は、ヒンジ部２に対し収容状態に付勢される。 The return spring device 6 is accommodated in the spring case accommodating portion 25 of the hinge body 21. The bearing portion 65 on the left wall of the return spring device 6 is fitted into the fitting portion 8a on the outside of the pivot 8 fitted from the spring case housing portion 25 side, and the fitting convex portion on the right wall of the return spring device 6 The return spring device 6 is accommodated in the spring case accommodating portion 25 of the hinge body 21 by fitting into the positioning recess 23b formed on the right inner side of the spring case accommodating portion 25. At this time, by locking the intermediate leg 61b of the double torsion spring 61 protruding from the opening 64 of the spring case 62 to the spring locking portion 11a of the hinge recess 11, the grip body 1 is attached to the hinge portion 2. On the other hand, it is energized to the housed state.

同様に、オイルダンパ７は、ヒンジ本体３１のオイルダンパ収容部３５に収容する。オイルダンパ７の右壁部の軸受部を、オイルダンパ収容部３５側から嵌入させた枢軸８の外側の嵌合部８ａに嵌入させ、オイルダンパ７の左壁部の嵌合凸部７５を、オイルダンパ収容部３５の左内側に形成された位置決め凹部３３ｂに嵌入させることによって、オイルダンパ７は、ヒンジ本体３１のオイルダンパ収容部３５に収容すされる。このとき、オイルダンパ７の外筒７１に突設された突条部７３を、ヒンジ用凹部１２の突条用係止部１２ａに係止させることによって、グリップ本体１は、回動する際に制動力が与えられる。 Similarly, the oil damper 7 is accommodated in the oil damper accommodating portion 35 of the hinge body 31. The bearing part on the right wall of the oil damper 7 is fitted into the outer fitting part 8a of the pivot shaft 8 fitted from the oil damper accommodating part 35 side, and the fitting convex part 75 on the left wall part of the oil damper 7 is The oil damper 7 is accommodated in the oil damper accommodating portion 35 of the hinge body 31 by fitting into the positioning recess 33b formed on the left inner side of the oil damper accommodating portion 35. At this time, by locking the protrusion 73 protruding from the outer cylinder 71 of the oil damper 7 to the protrusion locking part 12a of the hinge recess 12, the grip body 1 can be rotated. Braking force is provided.

このようにして、アシストグリップは、図１に示すように、自動車メーカーなどに納入される納入状態のアシストグリップが完成する。アシストグリップは、自動車メーカーなどで、自動車室内の天井面、壁面の車体取付部（ボディパネルＢＰ）の矩形穴ＢＨに取り付けられる。 In this way, as shown in FIG. 1, the assist grip is completed in a delivered state to be delivered to an automobile manufacturer or the like. The assist grip is attached by an automobile manufacturer or the like to a rectangular hole BH in a vehicle body mounting portion (body panel BP) on the ceiling or wall inside the automobile interior.

アシストグリップを、自動車の室内の天井或は側壁面に設けた内装材ＩＰの内側のボディパネルＢＰの矩形穴ＢＨに対し固定する場合、アシストグリップのグリップ本体１を持って、その両側基部のヒンジ部２のクリップ支持部４２及び取付クリップ５の先端と、ヒンジ部３のクリップ支持部４２及び取付クリップ５の先端を、各々、車体取付部のボディパネルＢＰに設けた矩形穴ＢＨに押し込む。 When fixing the assist grip to the rectangular hole BH of the body panel BP inside the interior material IP provided on the ceiling or side wall of the interior of the car, hold the grip body 1 of the assist grip and press the hinges on both sides of the base. The tips of the clip support part 42 and the attachment clip 5 of the part 2 and the tips of the clip support part 42 of the hinge part 3 and the attachment clip 5 are each pushed into the rectangular hole BH provided in the body panel BP of the vehicle body attachment part.

このとき、図１５Ａに示すように、取付クリップ５は、その弾性膨出部５２を内側に弾性変形させながら、矩形穴ＢＨ内に進入する。そして、取付クリップ５の弾性膨出部５２が矩形穴ＢＨに完全に嵌入したとき、弾性膨出部５２の第１係止部５３及び第２係止部５４が外側に開くように弾性復元し、第１係止部５３がボディパネルＢＰの矩形穴ＢＨの縁部に係止され、第２係止部５４の先端がボディパネルＢＰの背面（内側面）に係止される状態となる。これにより、ヒンジ本体２１は、ボディパネルＢＰの矩形穴ＢＨの縁部がヒンジ本体２１の座部２４と第２係止部５４との間で挟持される状態となり、弾性膨出部５２の第２係止部５４はその先端がボディパネルＢＰの背面に係止されることにより、高い抜け耐力を持ってヒンジ本体２１がボディパネルＢＰに固定され組み付けられる。同様に、ヒンジ本体３１は、ボディパネルＢＰの矩形穴ＢＨの縁部がヒンジ本体３１の座部３４と第２係止部５４との間で挟持される状態となり、弾性膨出部５２の第２係止部５４はその先端がボディパネルＢＰの背面に係止されることにより、高い抜け耐力を持ってヒンジ本体３１がボディパネルＢＰに固定され組み付けられる。 At this time, as shown in FIG. 15A, the attachment clip 5 enters into the rectangular hole BH while elastically deforming the elastic bulge 52 inward. When the elastic bulging part 52 of the mounting clip 5 is completely fitted into the rectangular hole BH, the first locking part 53 and the second locking part 54 of the elastic bulging part 52 are elastically restored so as to open outward. , the first locking portion 53 is locked to the edge of the rectangular hole BH of the body panel BP, and the tip of the second locking portion 54 is locked to the back (inner surface) of the body panel BP. As a result, the hinge body 21 is in a state where the edge of the rectangular hole BH of the body panel BP is held between the seat part 24 of the hinge body 21 and the second locking part 54, and the second part of the elastic bulging part 52 The tip of the second locking portion 54 is locked to the back surface of the body panel BP, so that the hinge main body 21 is fixed and assembled to the body panel BP with high resistance to pull-out. Similarly, the hinge body 31 is in a state where the edge of the rectangular hole BH of the body panel BP is held between the seat part 34 of the hinge body 31 and the second locking part 54, and the second part of the elastic bulge part 52 The tip of the second locking portion 54 is locked to the back surface of the body panel BP, so that the hinge main body 31 is fixed and assembled to the body panel BP with high resistance to pull-out.

ボディパネルＢＰの矩形穴ＢＨに角度誤差がある場合、それぞれのヒンジ本体２１，３１の中央支持板２８，３８の円柱状凸部２９，３９を中心に、クリップ支持部４２，４２が傾動可能に支持されるため、ヒンジ本体２１，３１に対し、取付クリップ５，５とクリップ支持部４２，４２は、図１３Ｂに示すように、矩形穴に対して前後方向の円柱状凸部２９，３９の中心線ＣＳを中心に、それぞれ角度Ａ°の範囲内で左右両側に傾動を許容される。ヒンジ本体２１に対し、取付クリップ５とクリップ支持部４２が一方方向に傾動したとき、ヒンジ本体３１に対し、取付クリップ５とクリップ支持部４２が他方方向に傾動することができるため、この傾動により、ボディパネルＢＰの矩形穴ＢＨの角度誤差は、吸収される。これにより、左右のヒンジ部２，３を枢支する枢軸８（グリップ本体１を枢支する枢軸８）にかかりやすい曲げ応力は防止され、アシストグリップを、作業性良く、適正に、車体の定位置に取付けることができる。 If there is an angular error in the rectangular hole BH of the body panel BP, the clip support parts 42, 42 can be tilted around the cylindrical convex parts 29, 39 of the central support plates 28, 38 of the respective hinge bodies 21, 31. In order to be supported, the mounting clips 5, 5 and the clip support parts 42, 42 are attached to the hinge bodies 21, 31, as shown in FIG. It is allowed to tilt both left and right within the range of angle A° about the center line CS. When the mounting clip 5 and the clip support part 42 are tilted in one direction with respect to the hinge body 21, the mounting clip 5 and the clip support part 42 can be tilted in the other direction with respect to the hinge body 31. , the angular error of the rectangular hole BH in the body panel BP is absorbed. This prevents the bending stress that is likely to be applied to the pivot shaft 8 that pivots the left and right hinge parts 2 and 3 (the pivot shaft 8 that pivots the grip body 1), and allows the assist grip to be used with good workability and proper positioning of the vehicle body. Can be installed in any position.

また、図１０に示すように、ヒンジ本体２１の座部２４には、中心位置から左右両側に傾斜する傾斜面２４ａが両側に向けて左右に傾斜可能に設けられ、図１２に示すように、ヒンジ本体３１の座部３４には、中心位置から左右両側に傾斜する傾斜面３４ａが両側に向けて左右に傾斜可能に設けられている。このため、ボディパネルＢＰの矩形穴ＢＨの面に角度誤差がある場合、ヒンジ本体２１，３１が矩形穴ＢＨの面の角度誤差に対して適正に傾斜して、面の角度誤差を吸収する。これにより、左右のヒンジ部２，３を枢支する枢軸８（グリップ本体１を枢支する枢軸８）にかかりやすい曲げ応力は防止され、アシストグリップを、作業性良く、適正に、車体の定位置に取付けることができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the seat portion 24 of the hinge main body 21 is provided with an inclined surface 24a that is tiltable from the center position to both the left and right sides, and as shown in FIG. The seat portion 34 of the hinge body 31 is provided with an inclined surface 34a that is inclined from the center position to both left and right sides so as to be able to incline left and right toward both sides. Therefore, if there is an angular error in the surface of the rectangular hole BH of the body panel BP, the hinge bodies 21, 31 are appropriately inclined with respect to the angular error in the surface of the rectangular hole BH, thereby absorbing the angular error in the surface. This prevents the bending stress that is likely to be applied to the pivot shaft 8 that pivots the left and right hinge parts 2 and 3 (the pivot shaft 8 that pivots the grip body 1), and allows the assist grip to be used with good workability and proper positioning of the vehicle body. Can be installed in any position.

この後、図１５に示すように、ヒンジ本体２１に対して仮止め状態となっていたカバー部４を押し込み、クリップ支持部４２を矩形開口部２７の内部に押し込む。このとき、カバー部４の内側の係止爪４６が、ヒンジ本体２１の外側のカバー係止部２６に完全に嵌め込まれ係止される。同様に、ヒンジ本体３１に対して仮止め状態となっていたカバー部４を押し込み、クリップ支持部４２を矩形開口部３７の内部に押し込む。カバー部４の内側の係止爪４６がヒンジ本体３１の外側のカバー係止部３６に完全に嵌め込まれ係止される。このとき、図１５Ｂに示すように、カバー部４のクリップ支持部４２が取付クリップ５の内側に完全に嵌入し、取付クリップ５の内側に完全に嵌入し、取付クリップ５の弾性膨出部５２の第１係止部５３及び第２係止部５４は、被固定部であるボディパネルＢＰに対し強固に係止され、アシストグリップの取付けを完了する。 Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 15, the cover part 4, which has been temporarily fixed, is pushed into the hinge body 21, and the clip support part 42 is pushed into the rectangular opening 27. At this time, the locking claw 46 on the inside of the cover part 4 is completely fitted and locked into the cover locking part 26 on the outside of the hinge body 21. Similarly, the cover portion 4 which has been temporarily attached to the hinge body 31 is pushed in, and the clip support portion 42 is pushed into the rectangular opening 37 . The locking pawl 46 on the inside of the cover part 4 is completely fitted and locked into the cover locking part 36 on the outside of the hinge body 31. At this time, as shown in FIG. 15B, the clip support part 42 of the cover part 4 completely fits inside the attachment clip 5, and the elastic bulge part 52 of the attachment clip 5 completely fits inside the attachment clip 5. The first locking portion 53 and the second locking portion 54 are firmly locked to the body panel BP, which is the fixed portion, completing the installation of the assist grip.

アシストグリップの使用時、使用者は、ヒンジ部２及びヒンジ部３に対してグリップ本体１を下側に回動（図１６の実線位置から鎖線位置へ回動）させて使用する。このとき、コイルばね６は、中間足部６１ｂがグリップ本体１のばね係止部１１ａの回動によりコイルばね６のばね力に抗して捻られる。これにより、グリップ本体１はばね力に抗して下側に回動し、使用者がグリップ本体１を把持することによりグリップ本体１の使用状態が保持される。一方、使用者がアシストグリップの使用状態のグリップ本体１から手を離すと、グリップ本体１は、コイルばね６の中間足部６１ｂから下向き（図１６Ａの時計回り方向）の付勢力を受けて同方向に回動し、非使用状態（図１６Ａの実線位置）に戻る。このとき、オイルダンパ７の作用により、グリップ本体１の回動に制動がかけられ、グリップ本体１は、付勢力が弱められて、非使用状態の位置に戻ることとなる。 When using the assist grip, the user rotates the grip main body 1 downward relative to the hinge portions 2 and 3 (from the solid line position to the chain line position in FIG. 16). At this time, the intermediate leg portion 61b of the coil spring 6 is twisted against the spring force of the coil spring 6 due to the rotation of the spring locking portion 11a of the grip body 1. As a result, the grip body 1 rotates downward against the spring force, and when the user grips the grip body 1, the usage state of the grip body 1 is maintained. On the other hand, when the user releases the grip body 1 while the assist grip is in use, the grip body 1 receives a downward (clockwise direction in FIG. 16A) biasing force from the intermediate foot portion 61b of the coil spring 6 and direction, and returns to the non-use state (solid line position in FIG. 16A). At this time, the rotation of the grip body 1 is braked by the action of the oil damper 7, the urging force of the grip body 1 is weakened, and the grip body 1 returns to its unused position.
