In the case of the interior structure described in Patent Document 1, the assist grip is installed at a height substantially equal to the height of the head of the occupant of the seat, and therefore can be supported by the skeleton member on the roof side.
Currently, in order to make it easier for passengers to get out of the door opening, we are considering installing an assist grip at the rear edge of the door opening. However, if sufficient support rigidity of the assist grip is to be obtained at this portion, a dedicated strength member must be added, which may cause a rise in manufacturing cost.

  Therefore, the present invention is intended to provide an assist grip mounting structure that can support the assist grip on the side of the vehicle body with high rigidity without causing a significant increase in cost.

The assist grip mounting structure according to the present invention employs the following configuration in order to solve the above problems.
In the invention according to claim 1, a seat (for example, the seat 2C of the embodiment) on which the occupant sits is provided on the rear side of the door opening (for example, the door opening 4 of the embodiment) on the side of the vehicle body in the vehicle interior. In addition, in an attachment structure for an assist grip of a vehicle in which an assist grip (for example, the assist grip 42 of the embodiment) that is held by an occupant is provided on the side of the vehicle body in the vehicle interior, an interior member (for example, The rear side lining 16) of the embodiment is attached, and an attachment opening (for example, the attachment opening 47b of the embodiment) is provided at the rear edge of the door opening of the interior member, and at least one of the assist grips. The portion is inserted into the mounting opening and supported by the rear wheel house of the vehicle body (for example, the rear wheel house 13 of the embodiment). It is intended to.
Accordingly, at least a part of the assist grip is supported by the rear wheel house having high rigidity at the rear edge of the door opening.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the assist grip mounting structure according to the first aspect, wherein the assist grip includes a resin skin member (for example, the grip base 43 and the grip cover 44 of the embodiment), and an inside of the skin member. A metal core member (for example, the metal core member 45 of the embodiment) disposed on the interior member, and the mounting opening of the interior member is located at two positions separated vertically from the rear edge of the door opening. Provided, both ends of the cored bar member are inserted into the mounting opening and coupled to a side body member, and at least one end of the cored bar member is directly connected to the rear wheel house which is a body member, Or it is connected through another strength member (for example, Pilas stiffener 6a of an embodiment), It is characterized by the above-mentioned.
In this case, since the core metal member in the assist grip is coupled to the side body member through the mounting opening of the interior member, the support rigidity of the assist grip is increased. In particular, since at least one end of the core member is coupled to the rear wheel house directly or via another strength member, the support rigidity of the assist grip is further increased.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the assist grip mounting structure according to the second aspect , at least one end of the cored bar member is interposed on the rear wheel house via a bracket (for example, the bracket 48 of the embodiment). It is characterized by being connected.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the assist grip mounting structure according to the third aspect of the present invention, the bracket extends from the mounting portion on the rear wheel house side toward the mounting opening and extends to the end portion of the cored bar member. An extension piece to be joined (for example, the extension piece 48c of the embodiment) is extended.
In this case, the coupling position of the cored bar member with the rear wheel house side is adjusted by the extension piece of the bracket. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the rigidity of the interior member by reducing the area of the mounting opening of the interior member, and by replacing it with a bracket with a different length, extension angle, size, etc. It can be easily applied to different vehicles.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the assist grip mounting structure according to the third or fourth aspect, the bracket is provided with a locking hole of the mounting portion on the rear wheel house side (for example, the locking hole 50 of the embodiment). An anti-rotation protrusion (for example, the anti-rotation protrusion 48b of the embodiment) to be inserted into the is provided.
In this case, the moment acting on the bracket from the cored bar member is received by the fitting portion between the detent protrusion and the locking hole. Therefore, the rotation and backlash of the bracket are suppressed, and the support rigidity of the assist grip is further increased.

  According to the present invention, since at least a part of the assist grip is inserted into the mounting opening on the rear side of the door opening and supported by the rigid rear wheel house, the assist grip does not increase significantly. Can be supported on the side of the vehicle body with high rigidity. Therefore, by adopting the present invention, it is possible to suppress an increase in manufacturing cost while ensuring a high support rigidity of the assist grip.

  In the mounting structure of the assist grip 42 of this embodiment, the lower end side of the assist grip 42 is mounted to the rigid rear wheel house 13 through the bracket 48 and the pillar stiffener 6a through the mounting opening 47b of the rear side lining 16. Therefore, the assist grip 42 can be supported on the side of the vehicle body with high support rigidity without adding a dedicated strength component. Therefore, by adopting this mounting structure, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost while ensuring high support rigidity of the assist grip 42.

Further, in the mounting structure of the assist grip 42 of this embodiment, the assist grip 42 has a structure in which a cored bar member 45 is interposed between a resin-made grip base 43 and a grip cover 44, and an upper part of the cored bar member 45. The side bent piece 45a is coupled to the lower edge stiffener 29a portion of the vehicle body panel 30 through the mounting opening 47a, while the lower bent piece 45b of the cored bar member 45 passes through the mounting opening 47b. Since the portion is coupled to the bracket 48 via the pillar stiffener 6a, the support rigidity of the assist grip 42 can be further increased.
In this embodiment, one end of the metal core member 45 of the assist grip 42 is coupled to the rear wheel house 13 via the bracket 48 and the pillar stiffener 6a, but one end of the metal core member 45 is connected to the rear wheel. You may make it couple | bond with the house 13 directly. However, as in this embodiment, a pillar stiffener 6a having a substantially U-shaped cross section is joined to the bulging portion 13a of the rear wheel house 13, and one end of the cored bar member 45 is joined to the pillar stiffener 6a. In such a case, since one end of the cored bar member 45 is supported by the closed cross-section structure part, the support rigidity of the assist grip 42 is further increased.

  Further, in the case of this embodiment, the core metal member 45 can be bolted to the vehicle body panel 30 from the same direction (vehicle width direction) through the mounting openings 47a and 47b of the rear side lining 16, so that the work of mounting the assist grip 42 is performed. There is an advantage that it becomes easy.

  Further, in the mounting structure of the assist grip 42 of this embodiment, the bracket 48 is attached to a portion having high rigidity on the pillar stiffener 6a, and the bracket 48 extends toward the mounting opening 47b on the lower side of the rear side lining 16. Since the extension piece to be extended is provided and the bent piece portion 45b on the lower side of the core metal member 45 is attached to the extension piece 48c of the bracket 48 through the attachment opening 47b, the lower bent portion of the core metal member 45 is provided. The coupling position and coupling posture of the piece 45 b can be appropriately adjusted by the extension piece 48 c of the bracket 48. Therefore, by adopting this structure, it is possible to minimize the area of the mounting opening 47b and to replace the extension piece 48c with a bracket 48 having a different length, extension angle, size, etc. It can be easily applied to different vehicles.

  Further, in the mounting structure of the assist grip 42 of this embodiment, the bracket 48 is integrally provided with the bracket 48 with a detent protrusion 48b fitted into the locking hole 50 (on the rear wheel house 13 side) on the pillar stiffener 6a. Therefore, even if the bracket 48 is bolted to the Pillar stiffener 6a at one place, the rotation and backlash around the bolt fastening portion of the bracket 48 are ensured by fitting with the rotation prevention projection 48b and the locking hole 50. Can be prevented. Therefore, the support rigidity of the assist grip 42 can be further increased.
