A bolt head housing recess 2 is formed in the assist grip body 1, and a bolt is passed through a hole 3 in a bottom surface 2a of the recess 2 to be fixed to the vehicle body. A cap 4 for closing the opening of the recess 2 for accommodating the bolt head is hinge-joined to the assist grip body 1, and a pair of claws 5 are provided on the back surface of the cap 4 so as to project from the claws 5, 5. The cap 4 is fixed by being engaged with the locking claws 6 on the side surface 2b of the recess. The claw 5 on the cap 4 side is provided with a hook portion 5b at the tip of the vertical wall portion 5a.
A reinforcing rib 7 is provided on a.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the recess 2 is bent obliquely downward from the side surface 2b while being extended, and the guide rib 8 is extended from the locking claw 6 to the opening side of the recess 2 while being coupled to the recess side surface 2b. I am allowed. In order to facilitate the mold release at the time of molding, since the core is arranged on the back side of the locking claw 6 for molding, the bottom surface 2a and the side surface 2b of the concave portion 2 are provided with the locking claw 6. A void portion 9 is formed adjacently.

することはない。Since this embodiment is constructed in this way,
When the cap 4 is closed, the hook portion 5b of the claw 5 comes into sliding contact with the guide rib 8 to bend the locking claw 6 outward, as shown in FIG. Therefore, not only the engagement with the claw 5 is surely performed, but also the closing force of the cap 4 is small. At that time, the claws 5 and the locking claws 6 are not damaged, so
Even if the cap is repeatedly opened and closed, the cap closing force does not decrease.
