The “theft prevention device for automobile handles” described in Patent Document 1 is intended to prevent theft and has a problem that the vehicle door cannot be fixed.
The “theft prevention device for automobile steering wheel” described in Patent Document 2 is not for the driver but for the passenger. For this reason, it is impossible to make a portion that can be gripped on the track of the driver's vehicle seat and wheelchair. It does not mechanically fix or hold the door of the vehicle, cannot be used for opening and closing the door, and requires modification of the vehicle. Furthermore, since it is always installed, there is a possibility that it may be inconvenient for unnecessary healthy passengers. Moreover, since it protrudes in the room side, a room dimension becomes narrow. And so on.

The “automobile grip for getting on and off the vehicle” described in Patent Document 3 cannot make a part that can be gripped on the track when the vehicle seat and the wheelchair are transferred, and cannot reach. It is an instrument only when there is an input to the grip part, and if it has a door, it moves, so it does not always fix and hold the door of the vehicle. It cannot be used to open and close the door. A modification to the vehicle is required. Since it is always installed, it is inconvenient for a healthy driver who does not need an assist grip. And so on.
The “Assist door grip structure for getting on and off the vehicle door” described in Patent Document 4 cannot make a portion that is gripped on the track when the vehicle seat and the wheelchair are transferred. In particular, it cannot be used for door opening and closing operations because it does not reach the seated position when getting off the vehicle seat. Since the vehicle needs to be modified and is always installed, it is inconvenient for important healthy drivers. And so on.

  In other words, when a wheelchair user drives a vehicle such as an automobile, the wheelchair user switches from the wheelchair to the driver's seat of the vehicle and vice versa, and the wheelchair user then grips mounted on the ceiling of the vehicle, Get on and off while grabbing on the handle, door, etc. However, these parts are not always appropriate.

  Since the assist grip mounted on the ceiling is mounted on the ceiling, there is a problem that the assist grip may not reach in a seated state on the wheelchair. In addition, when the hand is inconvenient or when the grip strength is reduced, it cannot be gripped, which has a meaningless problem.

Conventionally, an automobile door is not held in an open state, and is unstable as a part to be gripped because it moves in a horizontal direction. When the vehicle door is stopped during the opening and closing operation, the vehicle door may open and close without permission when getting on and off when the vehicle is stopped in the wind or on the slope.
If the door for an automobile is fully opened, the door is held outside. However, the opinion of wheelchair users who are unstable in their upper body is that when they get out of the vehicle from the driver's seat, they may feel a fear if there is no wall door near the wheelchair user. There is.
In addition, the fully open car door is not as close to the driver's seat as it is at a distance equal to or longer than the arm length from the driver's seat. In addition, after moving from the wheelchair to the driver's seat, the car door cannot be reached and it takes effort to close the door, and taking the body outside the vehicle involves the danger of the wheelchair user falling outside the vehicle. .
The same is true if the wheelchair user opens the door from the driver's seat before moving to the wheelchair.

In order to solve these problems, it is conceivable to provide a grip on the vehicle in accordance with the use of the wheelchair user. However, it has the following problems.
The vehicle may not be mounted at a desired position depending on the shape of the vehicle parts, strength requirements, and the like, and it is generally easy to process the vehicle individually, but the value as a used vehicle tends to decrease.
Detract from the appearance of the design. In addition, when a large number of modified parts are attached, it is not desirable that the vehicle is a modified vehicle, as seen from the outside of the vehicle. In other words, there is an opinion that the wheelchair user's psychology does not want to know from the outside that it is a modified car.
For a healthy person or the like who uses the same vehicle, it may be inconvenient instead of getting on and off and driving.

For these reasons, there are the following issues to be addressed when wheelchair users transfer to vehicles.
Conventionally, there has been no part that can be gripped appropriately and stably in a transfer operation to a vehicle. The vehicle door opening cannot be maintained at an arbitrary position. It may take some effort to close or fully open the door that is fully open from the driver's seat, and may be difficult to operate safely.
This may affect the design of the base vehicle and may be treated as a modified car. For healthy people who use the same vehicle, remodeling equipment becomes inconvenient. Etc.
